Some sketches I did while I was waiting for my friend to finish with another call on Skype!

Background on the paper: I bought some paper from Staples last month thinking it was a much thicker cardstock like I’d purchased at Office Depot…only bigger dimensions. Unfortunately, it was glorified art paper being passed as a cover/cardstock. I was so disappointed I’d never used it. Tonight, I gave it a whirl, and was surprised to find out it’s a nice balance between the tooth of a Series 300 sketch paper and bristol. Pretty decent clarity for pencil sketching. I felt some good, solid pencil control unlike a lot of other sketch papers, which just eat the lead and produce very little detail. Then, considering the unit price is pretty dang low, this will be good for doing layouts.
