@DaveyDo Sure! For this drawing specifically I used a reference photo and sketched out the details with a mechanical pencil, I then went over it with a micron ink pen. I wanted to fill in some of the blank space so I dusted some graphite powder over the empty spaces. The texture you see is really just the paper itself, it is from a sketch journal with handmade paper which can be purchased at art stores like Hobby Lobby. Lastly, I enhanced the photo a bit with a cellphone and just played with it until I found a filter that looked decent to me. The original looks pretty washed out so that is why I do that.
Let me know if there is something specific you would like to know how I did!
Thanks again for your support! It really means a lot to me! :D

@Rayedrgn Could you explain your technique? I do some works similar to this and would enjoy knowing yours.
