The main problem with tonal drawing (for me) is to keep it loose & free-flowing whilst darkening the image with successive layers of shading. A lot of the subtlety has been lost, of course, between the scanning & the Photoshopping, but I guess it's the elusive lightness of touch that is hard to maintain...
