Loved following along the Getting Sketchy tonight! My take on Canson XL Sand Grain dry media A4 98 lb. ![IMG_5451](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/9/98dda3f9af3056dc60ed6802496b4990c4c1160d.jpeg) ---

WOW Sonia - you posted that really quickly and well done. I just caught the last 5 minutes of Gettin Sketchy, so I’ll be watching it later. Terri Robichon ---

Very well done. It will be interesting to see what else comes up. I’m going to post mine here in a minute. Great job! ---

That is so awesome, Sonia! I didn’t try to follow along since I didn’t have the paper. I do have some Pastelmat that might have worked. Great job!!! Brenda ---

These both look great! i tried to do on charcoal paper - but made more of a mess than anything! I am very intrigued by that paper - it is on my wish list ---

This paper may not be as good as the stipple paper but it’s much cheaper and I happen to have it to hand, ---

That looks really great!!! I think you did a super job. I’ve ordered some of the stippling paper from Blick. I hope I still want to do the drawing when I get it. Brenda ---

@jcfuller, You did super on your drawing. Mine turned out a big head with little hands. ---

I finally got around to this. It was a real challenge for me! My proportions are off – hat too small for his head, hand to large, face and head too thin, but I did notice he had glasses on. I added those. I did it once with charcoal, and what a mess that was. The Nu-Pastel seemed to be harder and more dense than the charcoal I had. I need to get some compressed charcoal. I thought that’s what I was using, but it was way too soft. Anyway, I’m glad I did the drawing. It stretched me for sure. ![IMG_2647](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/6/6546d0056332dc6ed0a5dbb666fa400401107469.jpeg) ---

Excellent! Looks like you got the Stipple paper too. ---

Thanks, Jane. Yes, I got the paper! I really like it, and I think compressed charcoal and Nu-Pastel sticks will work best on it. I want to test oil pastels on it as well. I’m wondering how pan pastels would do and will probably try a sample to see if the paper will hold on to the powder. I love playing with new supplies. 🤪 Brenda ---
