Here is the completed pencil that will be used to do the final scratchboard illustration. Notice that this pencil doesn't have as much shading as the rough pencil sketch from the previous step. There is not as much shading in this pencil because; I knew there was likely to be further changes, and it is much easier to change an outline drawing than a shaded drawing; this pencil will be transferred to the scratchboard, and the fewer graphite lines transferred to the clay surface the better (graphite is difficult to remove from the clay surface); an outline drawing can be done faster and time was getting short; finally, an outline drawing can be drawn more accurately and makes a better guide for doing the final inking.

Notes about the clothing and texture to the tie and vest were added to the pencil with PhotoShop before emailing the pencil to the client for their approval.

I sometimes work on sections of a drawing, and then add those sections to the final pencil.
