This #drawing is based on a still of a scene from the #Japanese movie Tokyo Story, made by Yasujirō Ozu in 1953.

This is one of my favourite scenes in that movie, where the mother, Tomi, bonds with her widowed daughter-in-law, Noriko. The scene is when they're about to go to sleep.

As usual, I used rough paper (Fabriano Artistico, 300 gsm, NOT), about 50 cm x 70 cm. I set up the drawing in ordinary pencil and worked it in Conté pencil (from HB to 3B). I don't sharpen the Conté pencils to a point. I also used kneaded putty and a piece of soft rag for blending.
