I like the delicacy of the line, which I guess you did in pencil. You asked on my blog about what paper I used on the squirrel: I used my other (non-Moleskine) sketchbook, a Montval Field Watercolor Book by Canson. I like it because its size is nice (10 by 7 inches) and the paper isn't too toothy, which means that the nibs of my Micron pens don't catch and get ruined, like they have on other watercolor sketchbooks.
