What's a good kind of paper for sketching, and where do I get it?
I would like it to be pretty big. I've looked through local craft stores and all they have is little sketching paper.
The so-called "sketching paper" you seem to dismiss is called that for a good reason. A good quality drawing paper is textured, so that it catches the drawing medium, such as pencil graphite, charcoal, conte' crayon or whatever. This texture is called the paper's "tooth." Cheaper papers have less tooth than the more expensive.
If your final image is to be some medium on paper. THESE are the best papers to use.
For practice sketching and drawing, a very good compromise is a paper called "newsprint" It is similar in texture to regular newspaper, but, of course blank. Most newsprint tablet papers are not bleached, so that there is a light brown tint to it. Newsprint has a reasonably good tooth, so makes for great practice paper.
Still, I always suggest for budding and even accomplished artists to practice drawing from life as often as possible, so, virtually ANY paper is good for practicing. Before any professional assignment, I do dozens of "thumnail" sketches. For this, I use up a lot of scrap paper, such as the back of my test prints or any used copy paper.
When you do, finally, get ready to set down your final drawings, be sure to invest on a good quality, acid free paper. These are for keeping your drawings for generations.
Keep practicing!
