Haha yeah, there's a ton of different paper. I read about the different kinds in my class. Some are really rough which is apparently good for pastels, they even teach you how to make paper rough with sandpaper. I also read once how to age your paper, if you want your artwork to appear like it was done years & years ago, take a bit of coffee & with a paint brush do a wash with it. I thought that was very interesting at the time.
My school didn't agree
But thanks (:
It was easier to do than I though it would be, i'm thinking about maybe doing my moogle pic in watercolor, not sure yet though.
