LARGE charcoal paper...?!

3/18/2008 at 6:47 PM

Hey everybody. I've been looking for huge charcoal paper to do a grand scale drawing with, but most stores don't sell anything more than thrity inches or so. I know they have rolls, but mostly for print and etching. I found some Canson MI Teintes (pastel paper) that comes on rolls of 59" x 11 Yards, has anyone ever used that paper for charcoal?! Does anyone know of a good large sized paper? Has anyone used charcoal on print paper? I wanted to draw a open door about 7 feet tall so that the viewer feels like they can just step into the drawing. Finding Canvas that big is easy, finding paper (good quality) paper that big is difficult. Please help. Thanks:)

Hmm, my unit is going to Afghanistan this year...but I'm not going with them. I'm getting out of the service for medical reasons, Bah, but I can still help train the new troops because I have alot of combat experience from Iraq. I hope they come home safe.

About me

So yeah, you're looking at my page, awesome. My names Carlos, but I sign everything with my middle (Margarito) name because there are 1.2 billion people with the name Carlos, haha. Hmm, I am new at this art thing actually.

I spent four years in the Army, been around the world, you know, Korea, Poland, Iraq, Kuwait, etc. Done alot of things, but still had no freakin' clue what I REALLY wanted to do with my life. So, I got out of full time service and now just serve part time, went to school. Still no clue.

Well, during Christmas break last year, I decided to buy some drawing and painting supplies because I was bored, I NEVER LOOKED BACK! Man, I love to draw/paint! So, as the story goes, I changed my major and will be taking art classes this year, go figure. Admittedly, my painting skills leave much to be desired, but hey, I'm working on it. Drawing is much easier for me, as I'm sure it is for many.

I love to paintball, play my guitar bla bla bla. There is me in a nutshell. I'm working on some new charcoal pieces that I'll post soon, enjoy. Oh, and please leave feedback, it would be great. Even if you hate my work, any feedback is good because it lets me know what people think, not that it matters, I love doing it....you get the idea.
