Thanks for the feedback Jimmie. I really enjoy your drawings and keep your work in mind too when I'm doing this one and the new one I have on the board.


Yeah, the yellow paper has really started to bug me too. I'll keep in mind about the greys. How about a nice medium tan color?

I was surprised this was the wrong side of the paper too because that's the way it came in the package, rough side up, so I figured that was the way to go. The Canson charcoal paper is that way too but the texture is a much subtler laid texture, and when I started a drawing on the smoother side, it seems so smooth I'm not sure how much graphite it will accept. So hey. Live and learn I guess.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Linda, I think those toned papers sound like an addictive pleasure. It seems like one wouldn't so much suffer from blank canvas disease if the paper (or canvas) were toned. Maybe I should try that too!

Best
Lisa
