How to Stretch Drawing Paper
In this video, I will show you how to stretch drawing paper, but before that I will explain why I decided to make this demonstration. In the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course (https://lifedrawing.academy/correspon..., students learn how to draw from life by making various models, like this Doric order capital and drawing such models from various points of view. Apart from this paper model, students also receive different templates they can use for making sculptures from paper and clay. They also get step by step instructions on how to draw different things using constructive drawing principles. There are 100 drawing tasks in this course, and every task teaches something new, so by the end of this personal tutoring course, a student will get the advanced level of drawing skills.
To prevent paper buckling, go for a good brand 300 gsm heavyweight drawing paper. Fix it to the drawing board with some masking tape or bulldog clips. However, for long-study tonal drawings, when you will render tonal values for several hours, buckling might become an issue because it would prevent smooth hatching. To avoid buckling, you may staple a big paper sheet to the board. Watch this video to find out how to do it.
