Sketchbook advice please!
16 years ago
Yes, as usual, I'm in need of ADVICE. XD
I'm enjoying traditional art much more than digital lately, and my favourite thing to use at the moment is this brown recycled paper. I've never liked using WHITE paper to draw on, off white and textured paper is always preferable.
However I colour quite heavily/thickly with pencils. The paper I'm using is 110gsm, and it seems to mean that when I colour heavily like this, the paper gets crinkled up, like this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2946739/ so I have to stick it onto some card or something.
So I'm just wondering, what kinda sketchbooks do people like to use? And does anyone know of a brown or off white paper that is thicker to avoid this kinda crinkling? Maybe I just need to get some markers for the bold kinda effect I go for? XD
Thanks for your help :3
PS. If you don't know already it is

I have inking paper that is..well paper thin, but it holds washes and ink better then bristol.
However if you want color and a slight texture do the canson paper or even Pastel paper like This. They will take markers better then watercolor however. So if you want to experiment with watercolor use watercolor or inking paper :3.
Hope that helps.
And, eee. Thankyou for the little birthday mention, even if FA didn't want everyone to see ;)
