Hello all! I started to draw 2 years ago and it was just for fun. I always used simple school graphite pencil and paper for printers (normal paper). Now I decided to do something more beautiful. I think it would be a small picture (approx. 15x20 cm or something like that) in one color with smooth variations (something like greyscale). But simple graphite is too rough for this work - the filled paper surface is not uniform and smooth, there are tiny 'scratches' that are left white. I decided to buy more suitable instruments and bought Cretacolor NEGRO pencil, one of the smoothest. But it leaves even larger uncolored 'scratches'. Maybe I need some special very smooth paper? Or something else? So, I want to make a small picture, but it should be gradient-rich (I don't know the right term; it's grayscale for PC). Please, can you give me an advice on that?
