ACEO Flower No. 18 - Stage 2

I'm in the second stage working on the inside petals with brushes and two 0.5 mm 2B (Faber-Castell and Dong-A) mechanical pencils. As you can see, I work on one or two petals at a time not all over the flower. I use a small mop brush to apply the initial layers of graphite tones. Then with a small, flat brush and the mechanical pencils, I applied the succeeding layers, smoothening them out as best I could. Using an 8B Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencil, a few strokes are applied to the shadows on the center petals.
