It seems like the kind of thing where less is more, so I end up burning through paper and wandering around the room for different angles. I was getting fixated on learning to lay down tones and model the forms, so the ink brush was frustrating. Most of the drawings were massive jumbles of lines and attempted cross-hatchings. So I got some more of the smooth newsprint and went back to the charcoal pencil:
