Classic Skull

This is a 13x11.5 drawing of a skull on some cloth. The first layer on this drawing is gradients made with different pencils ranging from 2H to 8B. Once all the details and gradients were completed I added a yellow/brown wash over the skull, and a red/brown wash over the cloth. The colors really allowed for each thing to pop out and I thought made it even more classical. My details and gradients turned out to be really good. I also enjoyed the simplicity between the white background and the rest of it. The one thing I could have done better is maybe applied the wash a bit more evenly. It was my first time doing a wash so it was hard to tell if it was right or not.
