These are fantastic. May I ask how you preserve those? cos these drawings smear out easily....

For portraits at Sea World, we actually used hair spray - Aquanet, to be precise. For the sheer volume of drawings done there, it was the only cost-effective solution; we went through cases of the stuff. For economy, you can use most basic brands of hairspray, or if you are more concerned with the archival aspects, you can purchase fixatif at your local art supply store. Fixatif is more expensive.
