At Print MKE (Southern Graphics Council conference in Milwaukee) back in March, I scored a packet of paper samples from Legion paper and finally have decided to use them.  

 

When I get the urge to draw, I typically go straight for the figure (much of my figurative work is about personal awareness, identity, etc).  I plan to start one of these pencil sketches on each piece in the sample packet before finishing them with other media, tbd.
