What's this, Work? In PENCIL!?

When I was 16 years old my art teacher at the time and now mentor Mr Welbourne banned us all from using pencils in his class. I can't thank him enough, for pencils are shit. They make you precious about your work, they scan terribly and they are just...weak.

However, I'm doing some work for a friend who wants me to a cover for his ethnobotanical's catalogue. I was sitting at home when I was over come with the desire to start drawing, and had no pen in the house. It's the first time in a long time I've drawn with a pencil, drawn a naked woman or worked from home.
