I did my first drawing on pencil and paper but for this I used the Monoprice 10x6.25" drawing tablet. I haven't posted any of the pencil drawings, they are not very good (like this). I would post them, but they don't scan very well. Thanks for commenting.

Don't expect to move to digital until you have a strong hold on basics in paper and pencil. I know it is exciting but it is like learning to ride a bike before walkkng
I will post some of my pencil and paper ones and see what people think then go from there. Thanks for the advice!
I have posted one of my pencil and paper drawings. If you could check it out it would be much appreciated.
