I'm getting back into my artwork, and I have some pencils floating around. I can't get over how different the quality is

No, because it's a bit of a self-portrait with a goth edge.

I swear every Canadian kid had a pack of these while in school. They were cheap, but actually pretty decent to use.

I draw also but only with Faber-Castell graphite pencils for b/w sketching.

I just purchased some and also just got some new heavy bond paper.
I've been commissioned to create a piece of art, and the parameters are pretty wide, so I need to think of something "neutral" since it's going to be in an office. My "style" tends to be pretty dark, so I have to tone it down. Way, way down. I have to tap into something new for this. This should be interesting.
I'm open to suggestions.

I would think it would have to be something that would complement the office decor. It wouldn't matter if you were using grayscale only.

I totally agree.
I'm a bit out of my depth because I have a very particular and specific style that is not very family friendly, so when asked to complete something more "normal", it really takes a lot out of me. It's more challenging than you'd think.

Give it to your subconscious then let it go. An idea will come to you while you're distracted.
