Drawing On Toned Paper

Drawing on Toned Paper is a bit of a challenge. For the most part, the paper acts as your mid tone, while you use a dark pencil for core shadows and white pencil for your highlights. You can use markers, pastels, charcoal, ink and graphite, and if applied lightly watercolor. If you do a search on YouTube, you’ll find some great videos demonstrating how to drawing on toned paper. 

Below I’ve attached some sketches I’ve done on Strathmore® 400 Series Toned Sketch
