Hiya Tugg mate, get yourself back to tesco and buy a reeves cartridge paper sketch book, about £3.50 oop north, it is a vast improvement over printer paper. you will notice the difference instantly bud, great sketch by the way!
Hi Casey ,tried my tescos and they don't do it , must be a northern thing like mushy peas. ;)
Not a fan of mushy peas Tugg brings me ferrets out int rash!:) This is the stuff, never use anything else for my pencil work https://www.craftyarts.co.uk/acatalo...x-9-16530.html suppose theres other makes just as good out there.

Attachment 10716Attachment 10717Attachment 10718Attachment 10719Attachment 10720I hadnt touched a lead pencil in 30 yrs. Someone turned me onto Prisma Ebony's and I went crazy with them one week. Its the plain old printer paper that works the best for me. Seems to have more than enough tooth. I will try and post a couple of portraits I did that week.
Man some of those look like photos!! If that's 30year rusty then I can only imagine warmed up. Awesome job:)
