Coloured Pencil Sketch - Marble

Created using Prisma Premier Pencils just for practice and fun.  I didn't have any tinted paper designed for coloured pencil, so used the reverse side of some grey pastel paper.  It was still a little too grainy for a smooth finish, but the results were not too bad.
