Give Me Something To Write On

From a sketchbook that dates anywhere between four to six years ago, it looks like I hit a run in which I was using pencil, some sort of heavy graphite type deal. These days, I hardly ever draw in sketchbooks with anything other than a technical pen or a dip pen, india ink directly on paper and no under-drawing. What little drawing I do in pencil before inking is for finished comic book pages in which various elements need to be in place before I commit ink to paper. I like the Elephant-Man quality of this character.
