Beautiful traditional stuff.The water color is lovely.

The graphite drawing look to be made on some kind of paper that as somewhat of a grain to it.If you want to practice shading you should get a paper that smoother that paper for charcoal or use a charcoal stick.

Is it the same paper you use for both work?

An other option would be to get graphite pencil from 2B to 9B, the higher the number the softer the pencil and therefore the more graphite will transfer to your paper and the darker your line will be.

This way you can push your darker in the graphite drawing and get a smoother result.Otherwise the grain of the paper poke and you get grainy shadow.You can afford this grainy quality in the light sometime depending on the texture of object it depend on the texture.Thing can get very grainy also when an object only receive bounce light.

So being aware of your tool can help you get the right set of value to read correctly.

Perfection is unmeasurable therefor it impossible to reach it.
