Tip-Off Tuesday 24
Welcome back our fellow artist's!
This week we wanted to focus on a crucial element that will make or break your next piece. Paper is oftentimes one of the most overlooked elements to a charcoal piece. In this episode, we are covering our favorite paper that we use after years of trial and error using other drawing paper. Pick some up at the link below!

    Wait, so I tried mixed media paper and paper that says charcoal or drawing paper and its not working. Can someone give me advice on what paper I can use to draw different shades with charcoal, where I can apply white color charcoal and it will show white color on hair, eyes pupils, lips etc. I seen an artist on youtube with one charcoal hand gesture gets half of a head done with hair... is that a paper that he uses that is so good? I mean I have all the tools he has but nothing works..

    Yes I have used it before, and I liked the kind of finish that I was able to get with my charcoal but I have since moved to Mix Media paper. That is my drawing paper of choice right now.
