Oh, yeah, Paddy! Cool stuff those sketches.
It's all practice & trial & error.
This last sketch I actually "layered". I started with a grey colouring pencil to get the really soft "glow" effect, then used a white pencil for the brighter areas and highlights. I really found it much, much easier to control the onto-black drawing this way. A bit like the reverse of drawing onto white paper where you start dark and then work down the softening shades.
It was almost 'spooky' when I laid down the grey after placing the stars!
