The symbol 2018 is the Dog. So I suggest we draw such a positive lovely puppy — Welsh Corgi.

You need:

• ordinary waterproof sandpaper, grit 1000
• Rembrandt crayon set of 120 halves

Note: Don't spray fixatives on sandpaper after the work is done. Sandpaper can't stand it and covers with stains, the colours change.

So I don't fix sketches!

P.S. Pastel's afraid of mechanical damage, but once put under glass, it will delight you for many years. And will serve as a wonderful gift!
If you're planning to keep it, then cover your work with tracing paper or transparent file and put in a folder.

Wish you much inspiration and a nice watching!

Happy New Year!
