Fig. 1

I have now got pencil to paper, at last, on the new project. This time I am working on bamboo paper which has quite a bit of tooth, but is also hard to scan due to the texture. It is unusual paper to work with as it can take a lot of erasing while holding together really well, but at the same time is quite fragile. I need to take care not to bend the corners or dent the surface of the paper. With this paper I also like to use soft Progresso graphite pencils, which come as graphite sticks.

Again I am using one of Veronika's reference images.
