Observational Drawing: Boot

I have chosen to draw an old boot with graphite pencil, I normally use a pencil just to make a quick sketch. Really this is the first time I've used it correctly for shading but it took a few days to complete. There is still a little bit more work to do in this drawing, I feel the highlights and shading on the top of the boot needs more contrast and hopefully I will get around to it when I have a few spare hours, other than that I’m happy with the outcome. The original drawing is done on A2 Cartridge paper, the below is a photograph.
