Since yesterday the topic of various materials for drawing has come up and the word "craft" has sounded, then I think it will be relevant to touch on this topic (craft paper) in today's post.
And so, as I learned later, the word "kraft" in German means strength, that is, it means that the paper is special, stiff and strong, designed to wrap various goods and objects in general. Initially, this kind of paper was intended for such purposes, while the artists did not decide to try it in a new genre. It seems to me that it was after experimenting with paper that the artists decided to modify it a little, at least for convenience, because a full-fledged craft is rather dense, it's problematic to apply it in a sketchbook. Therefore, the craft paper can now look like this:
In a similar craft it is hardly worthwhile to wrap something, but it's very pleasant to paint on it. Especially good looks on it an ordinary ballpoint pen and a rapidogram. With a ballpoint pen, everything is clear, I note only one important thing - the handle leaks, on the sketch you can see small spots, such spots have the property of penetrating through the paper, that is, they are noticeable from the back of the sheet. Another thing is the rapidogram, it seems that this tool is ideal for work, but again if you pursue the goal of a neat figure. I use Faber-Castell 0.4 and 0.1. It looks like this:
It looks very impressive on the craft of the white marker, especially cool they can highlight highlights, and in general to allocate various items, I have the most ordinary thin brand:
I rarely draw on paper, more often with a graphic tablet, so I share old sketches:
If you have any questions, as always write in the comments, I'll try to answer!
