mattman - thanks for the question (and your kind words). I used animation bond for this drawing. Specifically . 12 field Ingram bond (12 field refers to the paper size of 10.5x12.5 inches) is simply a paper type that is good for using on a light table, as it has a very uniform translucency. Some paper appears blotchy when light is shown through it which can cause problems when trying to see through multiple sheets at a time. It also has a beautiful surface that is great to draw on. Not too rough for fine pencil work, not to smooth where a pencil will skip. It's almost silky. I use a few types of animation paper (mostly of the same weight, but some are less expensive) so when I refer to animation bond, I'm just saying it's on animation paper of one kind or another. Oh! Another great thing about the Ingram bond is you can get a really nice inked line out of it as well.
