Step 3: Jaw line finished, nose band and a few shadows added to face. Chest started. Blank spaces left for the leather on the neck.
This is what one could refer to as the ugly phase...
I can't believe the way I'm fumbling around with his neck muscles...I'm not getting the shape right.
No worries: I know what I'm looking for and I will get my (misbehaving) pencils to humour me:)
Step 4: chest darkened to help establish depth, neck mapped out and top line penciled out. Somehow I feel I've taken a wrong turn and have now found myself at a dead end...Only one cure: take a short break, find bearings and post new update tomorrow.
Cheers from a
frustrated graphite artist.

Hello Wizz, thank you will get there.
Arti, darker tones are just layers and layers. This drawing is done on Hannemuhle Nostalgie paper. It has very little tooth and is a nice off white.
