QOTD: Have you ever tried drawing on toned paper and if you have what did you think of it? 😊
That sounds great Haider 😊 I love it too!
I've never done this or really even knew of it existing, I just knew there was white and black paper/canvas. Kinda feel silly now :)
I’ve just watched your video and I purchased some tonight!
I used to draw on it with cheap glass marking pencils which hardly costs about 5 rupees in india
I drew a picture of Korosensei on toned paper but the paper was so brown that barely any of the pencil colours were vibrant enough
I really appreciated the value scale in this video. Values have always been difficult for me to understand, but I think finally I'm starting to understand them better and videos like this help me improve.
Thank you Ella 😊💕
My neighbor who I am very good friends with gave me a bunch of toned paper for my birthday and since my dad’s birthday is coming up, I decided I am going to draw a portrait of him while experimenting using toned paper as a gift. Thank you for this very detailed video about toned paper and I believe it will help me hugely with my dad’s birthday gift!
I’m really glad this video helped you! Have fun drawing! 😊
@@AmyLouiseArt aww thank you so much ❤️
I haven't try yet toned paper Amy. He he too many art materials that I need to familiarize and use to expand my knowledge about art.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial Amy.😊
Thank you Jett 😊👍🏻
Thanks to this video I have finally found out what that weird metal pencil thing was. A pencil extender. Oh my god you are an angel.
Haha! No problem, I'm so glad this video helped you and pencil extenders are definitely a lifesaver! 😊
Great video. I like your detailed and systematic style.👍
Thank you so much 😊 I'm sorry for my late reply, I'm currently fighting breast cancer 👍
I'm sorry to hear that Amy. I'm writing this while in the hospital myself with colon cancer-A second bout with it. It's a journey. I'm not a gushing "positive" type by nature, but the best thing I can advise is absolutely stay positive. It's essential. New treatments, developments, and options are abounding. Best wishes.
@cliffberry1900 Oh Cliff, I am terribly sorry. I truly am wishing you all the best and I hope you are okay.. sorry, I'm sure that is a silly thing to say considering you are currently in hospital but I hope you understand what I mean. Cancer is a dreadful disease that rips so much away from you but you are right, staying positive is absolutely essential. I appreciate your encouragement and reassurance, especially as someone who has been through this terrible journey and is facing this disease yourself. I'm currently undergoing 6 months of chemotherapy- I've had 4 rounds so far and will be having my 5th round on Thursday. 🤞 it's been very tough and it's only now that I'm fighting cancer myself that I truly understand and appreciate how tough this journey is. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers - I'm not sure if you are religious or not (I respect everyone no matter what their beliefs) but I will be praying for you and I am wishing you all the best 🙏
Now that is one thing i have not used a lot of, toned paper. I usually use white. I will have to look out for some nice toned papers for some of my up coming ink drawings. Great informative video Amy :)
Thank you Davy 😊👍🏻
Thank you for this! I just ordered a toned paper sketchbook a few days ago so this will be helpful!!
That's great! :) I'm glad this helped :)
thanks for the cool tips Amy 😁
Thanks Alina 😊👍🏻
You are so right Amy. I have a toned paper sketchbook which sits largely untouched. From watercolour I am so used to working on a white surface so it is a challenge in thinking. Your tips are very helpful, thank you
Thank you Kerrie 😊💕
Really helpful tips 😍 Always admire the way you record videos❤ Completely watched it and liked 👍
Thank you so much😊💕💜
Awesome drawing‼︎ Fantastic‼︎ 🌼🎨✨✨
Thank you 😊👍🏻

I think toned paper makes all of the difference! xoxo
Thank you 😊👍🏻
Great video. Loveli! 🖤❤🖤
Thank you 😊💕💜
Amazing!
Thank you :)
Brilliant info😁👍
Thanks Jonny 😊👍🏻
Very useful tips
❤️
Thank you 😊👍🏻
gorgeous art work thumbs up
Thank you 😊💕💜
Great demo Amy! I use gray and tan toned paper when drawing to get the best highlights and mid-tones. I agree that it brings out the the tones and depth much better than straight white paper. It certainly pops! PS: I also use the Derwent pencil sharpener that have you shown in this video : )
Thank you Rick 😊👍🏻 it’s a great sharpener, isn’t it? 😊
@@AmyLouiseArt is the best pencil sharpener I have ever used hands down!
Awesome drawing.... friend
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks l will have to give Strathmore Bristol smooth a try
Nice tutorial! :D
Thank you 😊💕💜
so lovely keep it up
Awesome info
Thank you so much 😀
You can start with just black and white (or brown and white).. Any dry medium like conte, charcoal, colored pencil etc. Toned paper is amazing.
Thank you for your comment 😊
Very informative content In this video
Thanks 😊👍🏻
Great video! This is a very important question. I’m thinking about buying The shuffle art brush pens, I just wanted to check with you if those will turn out completely visible on toned tan paper or will the colours look translucent if I use it on the paper.
Hi! Thank you so much for watching 😊 I’ve never personally used brush pens or watercolors on toned paper so I don’t know how they would turn out. I think there’s some other videos on CZcams though 👍🏻
thanks for info
Thanks 😊👍🏻
Thankyou for for replying, that was helpful, l have tried many store brought drawing papers some are detter than others, l have never tried strathmores papers yet. It seems to be the paper most artists use, l try drawing faces in graphite, derwent and faber castle and a black pencil for really darks,. Thanks again for your help
Strathmore is a really good paper to use for portraits. I really love the Strathmore Bristol smooth series paper for portraits & dry mediums. I think you will like that paper! 😊
Thanks for sharing
🌻🌼🌸🌷🏵⚘🌹🌱💗💗
Thank you so much 😀
great job! toned paper is gerat
Thank you Steph 😊💕
I have been using toned paper but it seems that every time I use it the paper doesn’t really hold up for long and stars to create holes. The problem is that every time when I add layers of colour for drawings it doesn’t take long for the paper to rip or get really fuzzy and rough on the surface. I’d really like it if you could give me any tips on how to stop this issue because it ruins my drawings:( Thanks
That is so frustrating that your paper is ripping and ruining your drawings! There's nothing worse than working so hard on a drawing and then it gets ruined. A couple of things I would suggest is looking at your paper thickness. I'd recommend a paper thickness of at least 100lb, especially if you are doing a lot of layering. If it's thinner than this it will be more prone to ripping/ tearing. The second thing I would do is try and build up your layers softly, use light pressure to do this and avoid applying too much pressure when burnishing. To do light layering it's best to hold your pencil further down the casing (near the end) and hold your pencil more horizontally to avoid applying too much pressure. I really hope this helps! 😊
@@AmyLouiseArt thank you so much for your tips I will try them out! ❤️ ✍🏻
Thanks that was great info on the paper, I've been nervous to start using my art pad, I'm always worried about wasting paper on something that won't turn out good. Do you have anything on more tones other than the 5 values you used today? I'm wanting to do a character in space, who's been in battle but without the space as background 🤔 great video 👍
I’m really sorry for my late reply! I’m really glad this video helped you! Once you get used to drawing on toned paper you will see that it’s actually really similar to drawing on white or black paper - just the tones are the opposite way round. On white paper, you would focus more on adding in mid and dark values as you are starting with a light value paper, whereas with black paper you would be focusing on light and mid tones… With toned paper you are starting with a mid value first. So I would focus on getting in your light and dark values to get enough contrast in your drawing, and then bring in some more mid tones. Think of where your highlights and shadows are, and use mid tones to transition light and dark tones in together. I hope this helps!
@@AmyLouiseArt I have a Grey tone pad that I'm using as well as a black paper pad both from Strathmore series. My drawing that I was doing doesn't seem right so I haven't finished it cause I don't want to waste my prisma cp, I maybe just over thinking this process 😅 thanks for getting back!
Hi Amy,
toned paper looks very intriguing to work on. You presented some great information about it!
Thank you Brenda 😊👍🏻
good
Lovely voice, by the way
Thank you so much Rio! 😊
I love toned paper, I have a couple of Strathmore toned tan and toned grey, but my absolute favourite is my clairefontaine Paint-on Gris paper. Such a great multipurpose paper for ink, marker and coloured pencil. If you get a chance please check it out it is worth it.
I have never used that paper! Thank you for the recommendation! 😊
@@AmyLouiseArt take care of not using to much markers because it is damaged the paper and become hard to put others layers after while on multimedia Clairefontaine tone paper! 😊Canada Québec
are the drawing papers in the stores any good or not? or is it just strathmores and arches papers for drawing, l am finding hard to find a suitable paper , l have used derwent , micador and born to draw papers andvother cheaper papers. I need some advice Thankyou
Hello Karen, thank you so much for your comment. I think the most important things to consider to help you find the right paper is two things - the type of paper & paper thickness. Some types/ thickness of paper suits certain mediums and styles of art better. For example if you draw a lot of portraits in coloured pencil I would recommend using a smooth surface paper as this will help you create smooth textures, and I’d recommend a paper thickness of at least 100lb/ 200gsm approx so you can create enough layers without damaging the tooth of the paper. If you were using a solvent or paint thinner with coloured pencil a solvent is considered a wet medium so I’d strongly recommend using a watercolour paper of at least 140lb/ 300gsm approx as it is thicker and able to absorb the solvent. Any paper brand can be suitable for your art - even a store bought paper/ cheaper brand.. just make sure it is the right type of paper to suit your drawing medium & style of art. I really hope this helps but please let me know if you need anymore advice!
What brand of color pencil do u guys use in toned tan paper? Pls reply asap
You can use any coloured pencils, it doesn’t matter 👍🏻
Hi im a young artist and im ver indecisive om whether or not to get the toned tan paper or the gray tone paper!!! Pls respond and suggest the best one that would work for colored pencils 💗💗💗
Hey it’s really up to you, I love both. I’d say I’ve used the toned tan one a bit more though 😊
You might like to try conté :)
Sorry 1 question I am already your student question are do I have to goo art college our I can learn from home if buy online courses please thanks for video jk from London 🤗🤗🤗
It’s up to you 😊 I never went to university and I am self taught
Should I buy brown or grey toned paper. Which give more town to a draw ? Pls tell me what helps you more because I wanna get one!
I really like both toned papers and I think it’s up to you which paper you get 😊 I like using the gray paper for drawings with cooler tones, so for example drawing a white cat, still life, and structures, and I like drawing on the tan paper if I’m drawing warmer toned drawings such as portraits, etc 😊
Thankyou. My drawings on some papers are grainy texture l can't get drawing to look smooth. Papers are so different..Thankyou again you are very helpful .
You are welcome Karen! 😊
What the name of color pencil, and how much is that?🥰
Very clear explanation thank you 😊
Hi Jojo! Thank you for your comment. The pencils I am using in this video are the prismacolor premiere pencils. I have a set of 72 pencils but you can buy much smaller sets - I think the smallest set they do is a set of 12 pencils. You can also buy these pencils individually as well. I’m really not sure of the price as prices may vary depending on where you live, but you can buy these pencils online from places like Amazon. When I bought these pencils, I paid around $50 for a set of 72.. but as I said, you can get smaller sets or individuals 😊
Can we use watercolours on this type paper..??
Hi it is thick enough for watercolours! 😀
YOU CAN USE WATERCOLOR?!
so wish one do you prefer..toned tan or toned grey...
Hi, I like both and use both 👍🏻
@@AmyLouiseArt owh thank you👌🏻
Love 867
Thank you 😊
Thank you 🤗
Thank you so much 😊👍🏻
Ummm where can I get that sharpener
Hi I got this from Ken Bromley Art supplies or you can get it from Amazon 😊
does anyone read these comments anymore, I'm looking for advice. I tried alcohol to blend and my portrait started to bubble and peel. I'm a new drawer and its my best work I'm desperate to save. any suggestions would be amazing thank you
Hello Laura, I always respond to my comments. I don't use alcohol to blend my coloured pencils so I've never personally had this experience before. However, I have had issues with getting blotchy results from solvents before and it was because I was using a smooth paper. If your paper is too smooth it doesn't absorb the solvent properly and then it sits on top of the paper and warps the paper. It is best to use a paper with more texture - such as hot pressed watercolour paper. I don't know if there is much you can do in your situation as it seems the alcohol has damaged the surface of the paper, but you could try weighting the paper down with paper weights or placing a tea towel over your drawing and very gently ironing over it to try and flatten the paper. I'm really sorry this happened and I hope you manage to fix it. Good luck!
I use toned paper a lot. I just made a new perfect bound sketchbook with coloured cardstock.
Additional types/methods
1) Use gouache. Gouache is amazing on toned cardstock. It’s super fun
2) cover the tone more than using it as the mid tone. Some of the tone will unify and ‘shine through’ (depends on mediaums opacity’s) this allows a more interesting solid background look AND as I stated the tone ‘shining though’ unifies the art
3) do paper tests and test mixed media on each paper keep these notes to refer to both colour examples and written details.
4) pay attention to how the colour of the toned paper will alter colours layered on top. Some colours like red really alter things. The vibrancy effects things
5) keep in mind the failure and chroma of the paper how dark S light and how vibrant the colour is. This effects everything!
6) get and use various coloured cardstock! Micheals and Staples are good (I’m in Canada your region may vary) absolutely JUMP on sales!
7) mixed media! Try various media and in combination.
8) three value scale option; Very opaque white with very dark black using the paper as the mid tones! This is excellent for composition, thumbnailing and studies of composition. Great for quickly ideation and coming up with environments, other illustration ideas, storyboarding, etc! In such a case use paler toned paper for ‘lighter scenes’ and darker toned paper for ‘darker scenes’!
Have fun everyone.
Thank you for your comment and great advice! 😊👍🏻
YOU CAN USE GOUACHE?!
*What art supplies you can use on toned paper?*
You can pretty much use any supplies on toned paper! the paper feels very similar to standard drawing paper.
