After some talks with BeoWoof in the comments here ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/63550155/ ), I decided to try to draw some sketches in common printing paper, with more trivial pens and pencils. The results are not the same of a sturdier paper and softer pencils, of course; the work with layers is more limited, and the colors more diffuse. But it is still possible to do nice gradients! And results can be very pleasant, if you consider the strong and weak points of the materials, plan accordingly, and take advantage of those more atmospheric effects!

Love this exploration on different material. I remember back when I started, how much it always frustrated me that I could not achieve certain looks with coloured pencils like I saw other people do before it dawned on me that most of the time, what kinda abuse a paper can take makes a world of difference.
Though, I learned also early on that even the cheapest coloured pencils can also be worked well on printer paper when used in tandem with alcoholic markers or baby oil. The effects you can pull with mixing some stuff certainly changes a lot as well.
Either way it looks dope and soft and lovely but I am not surprised because you did it so of course this looks amazing as always.
