Red lines, I simply use a red checking pencil like the ol' teachers used to check your papers with. Really cheap and really usefull, I also tend to use a non-photo blue pencil for sketches as well. It dates back to when I was highly interested in animation and it just seems to have carried over. MAkes for a good underlay/sketch and going over it and refining the drawing using a 2B is usually the icing on the cake.

Well, that makes all of us then. I can't live without my .3 mech. pencil that I aquired when doing some drafting a couple years back. That thing rocks and when I don't have that handy I do exactly the same, grab a plastic .5 bic mech. pencil. Thou I do find that for some reason if you step up to a slightly more expensive mech. pencil like a Zebra brand one for example the drawings do turn out a smidge differently. Its like they are a little more precise for whatever reason *think it may be becuase it holds the lead in place better*. Anyhoo, nothing beats the good old mech. pencil. That was the devise I used most for that "Inner City Outcast" pic. Just mix it with the usual lead pencils and you can really kick some ass

You have to remember its your drawings and way of approaching them and whatever your most comfrotable *I know I butchered that word* with. If you feel the need to try what I do thats cool but it isnt a ness.

.3? thats so thin....i have a really heavy hand which i damn to hell and back, im lucky if my .5 lead lasts all day .

i do have quite a few normal pencils *4H, 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B* but i havent tryied mixing them with mechanical pencil yet, thanks for the tip

i know i iuts all about how i feel COMFORTABLE ** with my draweings, but i do like trying things for first timers.

What's wrong with a .5 mechanical pencil? I still use the same type of bic pencil i've used for years to do all my preliminary sketches because a) they are cheap and I lose them, b) they have a soft lead which is ideal for sketches, and c) I don't ever have to sharpen them. Using the colored pencils (red and blue) is pretty well commonplace to do, it seems, but have never found much use for it myself. But I'll defend my mechanical pencil to the death.
