Today, I bought a sketch book called, "Fine Art Scratch And Sketch." It wasn't some expensive art book, it was only $12.99. But, it had black coated paper, with a weird pencil ith no lead, and you just scratch the black coating off and it would be really silver, or glittery under the coat of the paper, and I found myself to be very great at this, I love doing it. But, I am almost out of pages, so I needed to know what type of paper this is. Like the actual name so I can look for it at an art store near by. Its black, and you can take anything thats sharp and scratch it off, and its very neat looking, you can make your own pictures on it. Does anyone have any idea what this type of paper is?

If you go into an art supply store and ask whoever is at the counter, they can either tell you where to find it, or show you some that they have right in the store. It's called scratchpaper, or scratchboard.

I thought I saw it at Hobby Lobby if you have one. It is usually near all the other art papers. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
