Second attempt at Verve

I received some tips from the amazing Eni Oken after my first attempt at Verve and shading Verve.  She suggested I go from using a shading pencil to a 2b pencil and here is the results.

Here are the 2 pictures I posted before, my originals on Verve that I used a shading pencil on, then switched to a black pencil crayon because the shading pencil wasn't doing the trick.
