I love flipping this particular switch, because you're right, with the dark paper you have to think in terms of light. It means I get to start with some fun features, like the light along the top of all those folds, the bridge of a nose, the forehead, lips, and cheekbones. It's a very different place to be than when using graphite on white paper, and I love the drama it creates!

I do spend a lot of time getting all those details in there, and trying to get them just right, so I'm delighted to know that you enjoyed them all so much!

Thanks so much for the lovely comment!! {{{huuuuuuugs}}}
