GrandviZion May.7th 2012: If you decide to rotate your paper to accommodate your best pencil stroke then remember to rotate your reference photo as well (unless you are not using one).
It is very helpful to know your best pencil stroke but it is also good practice to keep your paper in a fixed position and adjust your pencil stroke to suit - thereby learning a variety of pencil strokes.
