Just sharing my little drawing hack - I sketch almost everything on a separate piece of paper (in my sketchbook) in pencil. That way if I don't like my sketch I can try again and again without erasing so much on the final piece. Once I like my sketch I draw over the lines I like in pen so I can then trace my final outline onto the watercolor or mixed media paper using a light box.
Here's what a spread in my sketchbook looks like.
