Ok, I began a new drawing yesterday... on a new kind of paper (Arches hot-press watercolor paper).

And... I'm hating it! :(

I was afraid to find it too smooth and... well it is! Maybe I gotta get used to it, but at the moment I find it very difficult to work my way on this paper.
I also tried to use a carbon pencil on some areas I had covered with graphite and, the carbon slipped away without letting any trace on the paper...
The areas covered with graphite are like waxed, so it's a bit hard to render them darker with carbon... I think I'll use again my black watercolor pencil for the darkest areas.

As soon as I get a bit satisfied with it, I'll submit here my first WonkInProgress.

I've never tried too many different types of paper, so I can't say I know how you're feeling... but good luck with it! Maybe it is not what you're looking for, but you can experiment and find a different purpose for it, and you never know, you might get something spectacular..
