Admin Post: Drawing Challenge #34 - Toned Paper

[goss]

This month's drawing challenge is all about materials and technique, so the subject matter itself is completely open. Many thanks to mekare for sharing this prompt at our Prompts and Ideas post. :)

Challenge #34 - Toned Paper

Create a drawing on Toned Paper, using black and white only.

Your drawing's background should be mid-tone (any colour), and try limiting the colour palette to only black and white. Explore creating a variety of values with black and white pigments, using pencils, ink, paint, etc. This challenge can also be done digitally by adding a tint to the background before drawing.

What is 'Toned Paper'?
Toned paper is any paper used for drawing that is tinted. Toned paper, or Mid-Tone paper comes in a variety of greys, browns and other shades of colour (blues, greens, etc.). As an alternative to sketchpad paper, you can use brown packing paper, coloured craft paper, or any type of paper that's not purely white.

Happy Drawing, everyone! :)
