Step 11When you are finished
Admire your work! Good job dude or dudette. Place it on your easel and keep it on display for everyone to see. If you need to protect it, tape some tracing paper over the front of it. Just don't leave masking tape taped to the front of your sketch for more than a few days, or else it could rip and ruin your sketch when you go to remove it.
Also, some people like to spray their drawings with an aerosol called "fixative." I would highly DISCOURAGE doing this. That stuff is more for blueprints and stuff and mechanical drawings. I have seen people ruin their sketches by coating them with too much of that stuff. Very sad. Stay away. Art stores do sell special paper like wax paper that can be bought in large sheets to cover finished sketches. That is a good way to go.
If you ever need to send a sketch, I recommend using FedEx. They have free triangular tubes that work great for mailing.
Sketching is not as hard as most people think, and if you think of the computer as just another sketching tool, you can really make sketching fun and rewarding by doing your preparation thoroughly.
If you use my instructable to make some cool art, please do me a big favor and scan it in and email it to me. I would love to hear from you.

I have been using this technique in my drawings for almost 12 yrs now... I would never have thought to make an instructable of it though. Great job on the Instructions, very thorough.
