After the pencil work is done, I use black markers to make an overlayer on the drawing’s pencil parts.

Lawrence Kohlberg was an American psychologist best known for his theory of the six stages of moral development. Most people will not make it through all stages in their lifetime and it is rare for anyone to make it to stage 6.
