The drawing paper you choose can either make you a millionaire or put you in the poor house!! OK. Not totally true but it does effect the end result you will get. Some papers have smooth finishes while others are rough. Some are thick with a very high density and some are thin with almost no integrity but they all serve their purpose somewhere or another. All art papers are labeled for specific uses; but I can tell you that while some papers are more suited for certain projects, it doesn't really matter what paper you use as long. | Drawing Paper Have You Been Using The Wrong Kinds The drawing paper you choose can either make you a millionaire or put you in the poor house OK.
