Pliers Study
Here's a study I just completed of my handy pair of paint-box pliers. First, the block in, massing the basic shape and major values. You can see the remnants of where I wiped the drawing away several times.

Here's the final study. Roughly two hours over the course of two sittings. 8x8, oil on gessoboard.
