I had this commission last summer, and these photos take you through the steps it needed to finish with a rich, velvety black coat. 
There is so much under layering that it felt like two drawings. A brown dog with a black one on top! But without that underlayer, the colour would not have been rich enough and it would have look a bit flat.
I mostly use Caran d'ache colour pencils, and work on Bristol board which is lovely and smooth and holds the pigments well.
