Hello. Recently I got my hands on a Staedtler Sketch Paper roll- http://www.amazon.com/Sketch-Paper-Roll-...B00016XMJE. Anyway, I opened it today to check it out. I found that is basically tracing paper. It works just as advertised and takes pens and even markers without bleedthrough. I was surprised, as it is so thin. Seems like fine tracing paper.
I got this stuff 'cause I wanted some not-to-special paper that I could do some more throwaway stuff on (ellipse practice, basic forms, etc.). Should work fine for that, but I'm wondering what else I can do with it. I'm not planning on tracing, but I know some artists use tracing paper. So what do you guys suggest doing with tracing paper? Other than drawing a whole bunch of ellipses so I don't waste my sketchbook paper? I have fifty yards of the stuff now, LOL.
