Newsprint is an excellent medium for drawing practice, favored by artists for its affordability and versatility. The large surface area it provides is ideal for quick sketches, warm-up exercises, and exploring new ideas without the pressure of using expensive paper. Its slightly rough texture also adds a unique quality to charcoal and pencil work, making it perfect for capturing dynamic lines and gestures. While newsprint may not be archival, it’s a fantastic choice for studies and practice sessions, allowing artists to focus on technique and creativity.
