Final rough sketch before the illustrator page was put together. I don't like to draw too clean, it kills it for me. This is as good as it gets for me with pencil and paper. Everything I draw is on cheap throw away pads.

I like to use good pencils and cheap paper, works out much better than cheap pencils on good paper.

Tombou 4B's are my favorite, I have a huge store of them. Started putting them by a few years back after getting caught out in the Great Pencil Famine of '97.
