Today we're going to talk about the Coquille board and terms of using it with drawing.
The coquille board it's basically, it's paper but it's called coquille board and not too
many people use it anymore these day. I liken it to drawing on a really fine piece of sandpaper
because it has a certain texture to it and so when you use prism-color or pencils it
gives you a lot of freedom in the range of things that you can do as far as shading and
your line quality. And you can get a lot deeper with your textures and your values in terms
of going from super light to one of the blackest blacks that you can get. Even as opposed to
using an eight and a half sheet of paper from your copier or printer or whatever. This actually
has a grain to it and I don't know if the camera's going to be able to pick it up but
when I start drawing, you'll be able to see the difference. And the final product we're
drawing you'll be able to tell that this paper is worth it. It's about five or six dollars
a sheet. So, I really like it. You can take your time and do really detailed drawings
with this paper. It's awesome. And that's Coquille board. It's C-O-Q-U-I-L-L-E and you
can get that at pretty much any art store in your neighborhood.
