Sketching digitally in Brushes 3

When sketching digitally in Brushes 3, you can do so on a layer and choose a background to suit you. I took several paper textures as examples of what can be done. I adjusted the transparency of my stroke to resemble the hardness of a pencil. As I drew, I chose to reduce the transparency as I  might in choosing a softer pencil.

If I chose a darker background, I could also add a second layer in which I would draw in white to simulate white chalk. In doing this I only use white on the white layer to highlight and black on the black layer to resemble pencil. I always erase on each layer as opposed to using white to negate the black pencil lines. This keeps things clear and flexible.
