morning!...the derwents i might go for a stonehenge very slightly textured....i wouldnt attempt plate finish, the smoothest surface for paper, only because its very tricky when getting numerous layers down....save that technique until ya feel more comfortable with layering....but you could get a slightly toothed/textured paper of any brand and it would react well together...
i like thick paper because it holds up well, though i am very careful about the surface of the paper....dont have your pencils dig into the surface...
not sure first attempt at posting these will work....i have resized them small but eh...around here one has to realllly resize small!....
these are twoworks,and a close up, from the farrr farr distant past...where i would sketch out and work in graphite first...AND, put another layer of graphite over the top when i was done with cp work!....
the tiger, course, is an unfinished piece, i had created it for head study..the owl is a finished piece.... |
