Hello! It's very cool! I like this style! I have two questions, what is the paper size you usually use, for example for this sketch? And how much time did you spend on this work?

Hi. Thanks. This was drawn on A4 paper. The time I spend varies considerably, but with this one I didn't really do any preparatory work and tried to keep it loose and quick. I think it took me about six hours.

do you use a ruler ?

I never use a ruler for the line-work, but if I rough out an image in pencil I might use a ruler for narrow, vertical objects such as lamp-posts if they extend for the full height. I don't usually wish to have perfectly straight lines.

Thanks. A Pilot DR pigment pen, pretty similar though.
