Hello Artists? Do you use pencils most of the time?

I love using my sketching pencils! I have been using them ever since I was 6. 

But ever since I started using copic markers, as much as the transparency they provide as well as how great they are for mixing colours, it's so ugly when the pencil markings show up. 

So tonight, as a little challenge for myself, no pencils! What's drawn on the paper is what it is.
