Cheap colored paper for drawing on? I want to draw on colored and gray-scale paper with charcoal and pastel. However, all the paper I see is sold by the sheet at more than $1 for a sheet of 18 X 24! Strathmore had some pads of colored paper, but the price was far too high. Canson Colorline Art Papers are a little cheaper, but appear to be more for rough crafts and less for drawing on.

Colors I'm most interested include muted earth tones, demure blues, and gray scale.

I hope this is clear and appreciate any help.

Can I get "big paper" for drawing and crafts at Lowes? My 4-year old really likes to draw and is asking for "big paper". We have some errands to run at Lowes, anyway, and I'm wondering if you think they might have something like that and what department I should look in. I prefer individual, poster-sized sheets, but if a roll is the only way to go, I'll get that too... So... does Lowes usually carry paper suitable for drawing with markers & crayons? Thanks! I'm not asking where else I should go, but where at Lowes (large home improvement store) might I be able to find it. I have some merchandise credit from lowes already and need to go there for other stuff too. Just trying to be efficient. I don't want to drag my kid around to multiple stores if I don't have to.

Drawing lines on paper for school projects? Ok, this might sound like a stupid question, but hear me out. I get a whole bunch of projects to do for school every year, and since the presentation has to be really good, I usually use handmade paper for these projects. For each page, I have to draw lines in pencil so that my writing doesn't slant, and then erase them out later... This takes a long time and is very annoying when the projects are more than 20 pages long.. Is there a quicker method for this? The paper I use is too thick to put a ruled sheet underneath and write...

Drawing Requirements for Rhode Island School of Design? Okay, so I've looked at the 3 drawing requirements for RISD recently and they've changed it from before. They still have the bicycle drawing, but instead of the interior/exterior setting and a piece of your choice, they now require a two-sided piece and one of an altered piece of paper...? RISD's description on their website is a little confusing to me: "The first drawing must represent a bicycle; the second drawing may be of any subject or situation but your finished drawing must utilize both sides of the sheet of drawing paper; for the third drawing, begin with a sheet of paper, alter the form of this paper in any way you wish and then make a drawing of this altered form." I understand the first two, but for the last what on earth are they saying...? Am I supposed to alter a piece of paper and then draw that altered paper ON that sheet? Or just alter a piece of paper and then draw it on a separate sheet? If anyone could shed some light on this or even provide some [preferably successful] examples I would greatly appreciate it!!

Any ideas on what I should draw today? So I am home sick today...ugh. And I have a clean sheet of drawing paper, freshly sharpened pencils, charcoal and absolutely no idea what to do with it all! I want to draw something...out of the ordinary, but not impossible. For example: my friend drew a hand and attached to each finger was a string that was tied to a simple puppet type thing. It was epic and simple. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

How can I calm myself down? I just can't seem to take things easy... I started taking up art because I like the idea of creating my own figures and am excited at the thought of making them beautiful like all those other artists draw them. But every time I pick up a pencil and hunch over a sheet of drawing paper I start to get nervous... Every time I draw, I'm always erasing my lines. I spend several minutes drawing the same line over and over and over again. My artist friends keep telling me that I'm being too hard on myself, that I shouldn't expect things to look perfect at my level, that I can't expect to improve overnight, yada yada. Nothing they tell me helps, their advice just doesn't sink into my subconscious and I continue to fret and fuss over my drawings to the point where I yell at myself and break pencils. How can I train my mind to just accept making mistakes? I've always been trained to make things perfect so that obviously doesn't help me. What can I do to calm myself down? I've already tried listening to music, drinking chamomile tea, watching funny cartoons and playing video games in an attempt to wash away my stresses, but I still turn red soon after I start drawing. Do I have serious issues or something? Soadzombi: But that's just the thing, it's more frustrating rather than fun. I'd really like to someday be able to be in the same crowd as my artist friends, but seeing how I can't get myself out of a negative attitude toward learning something new, I feel it'll never happen...

For this question you will need to plot the following data on a graph. Simply use a blank sheet of paper, draw For this question you will need to plot the following data on a graph. Simply use a blank sheet of paper, draw an x- and a y-axis, label the x-axis as "sarcomere length" increasing from the origin to the right, and the y-axis as "tension" increasing from the origin up. The units for this graph are arbitrary and for simplicity can be from 0 to 5 units on both axes. Please begin by plotting the following points on your graph: point A at (1,0); point B at (2,1); point C at (3,2); point D at (4,3); point E at (5,0). For those of you rusty in mathematics, the first coordinate in the series is the position left to right (x) and the second number is the position up or down (y). For example, your first point, A, lies on the x-axis (since y=0) and just over 1 unit (since x=1). Your newly drawn graph depicts the sarcomere length-tension relationship in the average skeletal muscle. Now answer the following questions: Why is it that the sarcomere exerts maximum tension at point D on your graph? Why is it that the sarcomere exerts no tension at point A? Why no tension at E?

Finding/Ordering Oversized Printmaking/Drawing papers? I've been working on some rather large wood blocks and ink paintings and I'm trying to find places that I can order extremely large pieces of paper to print, paint, draw on.

how do i print one image to 4 sheets of paper? My mother does quilting, all by hand and draws her pics to the fabric before stitching, and I wanted to know if there is printing software that will allow me to make an image take up 4 sheets of paper, so when she lays the paper on the floor and puts each corner together she gets one big picture. She's done it before years ago on my dads old computer, but she cant remember the name of the program she used. Any help would be great. Thank you for your response, I have a HP printer its the 1210V all-in-one, I'll look around HP's website and see if they have something. Thanks again

Kimberly Clark is now offering a new type of toilet paper designed to train kids on how much toilet paper? to use it has doggie tracks printed on the toilet paper, and at roughly every five sheets is a cartoon drawing of a dog. Parents are instructed to teach their children to follow the tracks and then tear off at the dog. Otherwise, the toilet paper is the same paper used in other Cottonelle products. Do you think this is a good idea or no so good? And if your children use this system do they like it?

Find the inscribed circle? For a given triangle ABC find the inscribed circle (by construction, with compass and unmarked ruler), but there is a problem: A, B and C are out of the drawing paper sheet, so you have to use only the parts of the 3 sides. This is a follow-up question, inspired by a resent Dragan's question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap1nzhb9N5KzdIGjCeAXhDTsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090330043133AAfTsZa&show=7#profile-info-9VvlPShsaa Construction of the bisector of <A: Draw two parallel lines to the sides AB and AC, each at the same distance from AB and AC. Let they intersect inside the given triangle at the point A'. The bisector of <A'=<A is a bisector of <A, too.

what are some ideas of things to draw on a big sheet of poster paper? maybe some ideas of highschool art projects?

Another math puzzle: Find the middle point of the line segment!? Let a and b be converging straight lines, intersecting in the point S, which is out of the drawing paper sheet. Let P be a point between the two lines. Find the middle point of the line segment PS, using only a compass, an unmarked ruler and one sheet of drawing paper! I know the solution. So don't waste time explaining in details the particular elementary constructions! I have found it much easier than my previous question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArAg43eNnoBmhwBFOVeev4zsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090326074328AA9rJG1 @ Dragan K: Near as fast as light (ili brže?). Thanks. It works, although it is different from the solution given in my book. Here's the answer from my book: Draw a line parallel to the line a through the point P. Let it intersect a at the point A. Draw a line parallel to the line b through the point P. Let it intersect b at the point B. The middle point of PS is at the middle point of the line segment AB. The above is obviously wrong. It have to be: Draw a line parallel to the line a through the point P. Let it intersect b at the point B. Draw a line parallel to the line b through the point P. Let it intersect a at the point A. The middle point of PS is at the middle point of the line segment AB.

Math puzzle: Construct a straight line!? Let a and b be converging straight lines, intersecting in the point S, which is out of the drawing paper sheet. Let P be a point between the two lines. Construct the straight line defined by the points P and S, using only a compass, an unmarked ruller and one sheet of drawing paper! I've found it in a book, in the part for preparing fifthgrades for Math competitions. Edited in East Europe. The solution in my book is very elegant. Sorry, the problem was intended to sixth grade pupils (supposed to be 12-13 yo at the time the book was printed - 1998). Really. @ Track P: If Mom=Clever one, then Son=Clever guy @ Track P: Yes, the construction could be made by using only a pencil and a straightedge. But it is just because the solution itself consists of 3 successive elementary constructions of right angles. BTW, I think it's better to reverse partly the order of the steps of your solution. Thanks for the nice Wiki's link. Here's the solution given in my book: Draw a line perpendicular to the line a through the point P. Let it intersect a at the point A. Draw a line perpendicular to the line b through the point P. Let it intersect b at the point B. The point P is an orthocenter of the triangle ABS, so the perpendicular to AB through P passes through S. Here's the solution given in my book: Draw a line perpendicular to the line a through the point P. Let it intersect a at the point A. Draw a line perpendicular to the line b through the point P. Let it intersect b at the point B. The point P is an orthocenter of the triangle ABS, so the perpendicular to AB through P passes through S.

Help with my drawing? Ok, so, as of now, I have a pile of peiced-togehter photographs of 1/2 of a window drawn on the left side, and 2 eyes on a diagonal , pretty much in line with the corner of the window, in an upwards direction. There is space left on my paper in the bottom right corner, and the top left one. Everything I draw is on torn sheets of paper, so I was thinking about having a quote or something on the bottom, and maybe a picture of a leaf in the top.... and I need something, like rope, or ink spots, or something to put in the background to tie it all together. What do you think? Do you think that w/ your help, i could make it into the school art and poetry publication, providing it is drawn well?

How can I make a tower out of a piece of paper? In art class, we have to use a single sheet of 9" by 12" drawing paper and glue to make a tower. It has to be 6' for an A, but I will pretty much be ridiculed by my friends if I don't go for a record so it needs to be around 13' 5" The previous record holder supposedly used 1/4in wide strips of paper folded into a V, but I don't think there would be enough paper to beat him. (and he doesn't remember completely so who knows what he really used...) Would it be too unstable to use any less than 1/4in? And are there any other techniques besides just a tripod and a thin piece of a paper on top? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is an example of the work http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/7918/aicc113w4a31wl0.jpg On a single sheet of paper, draw a series of subjects in two-point perspective, which are each illuminated by a single light source. You may use a single light source for all four subjects or use a light source for each subject. Be sure to draw the shadows they cast correctly. Draw the horizon line, vanishing point, guidelines, and light source in gray. Consider the arrangement of the subjects on the page (composition). Then, go over the object edges and shadows in black. Leave all of the guidelines in the drawing. Attach your work and submit to the discussion thread for the class to critique. Oh my gosh , all your answers where wonderful, thank you so much.

Where can I find the cheapest printer paper? (8.5 X 11)?

is there a program that overlays "tracing paper" over the desktop, above any other window, to draw over it? i have a drawing tablet and often any ideas i get of things to draw fizzle before i can get to a sketchpad, and alt+tabbing between windows to check poses or structure for drawings is tedious and doesn't always end up proportioned well on my end. i was wondering if there's a program that lays a "sheet" of "tracing paper" you can draw on over whatever is currently on the desktop, with the ability to save (at least) what you draw on the paper. any information on a program that does something like that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

The relationship between a person's random drawings and her natural abilities? For example, if one looks at the shapes or objects that are more common in a person's random drawings (like while talking on the phone, or doing something that does not require a lot of focus), what does that say about her natural talents or psychological traits? I've seen people who like to draw houses, others that draw animals, or suns on the corners of paper sheets. And others that just fill a sheet of paper with arrows in several directions. Do you know a good reference about how that relates to their talents? To Lindsey: But why does one's mind choose to draw the same objects when doodling? Perhaps that's where we can find any correlation between the drawings and one's inner-self.

Can someone explain this dream that I had right before I woke up? The dream was about me and this girl that I use to have a class with during college. We was in a classroom and she was teaching or showing me how to draw. We had many sheets of whit paper and she kept showing and telling me how to draw. She would not let me leave until I got it right. After some attempts, I finally started drawing and after that, the dream was over. Can someone tell me the meaning of this dream. Only serious answers please. The dream was about me and this girl that I use to have a class with during college. We was in a classroom and she was teaching or showing me how to draw.
