Eh...*confused* I don't get into the technical stuff, like knowing what types of paper, or things like that. I know what the pencil type is, and that's about it. I'll just splash random stuff across my paper, and if it doesn't work, then I'll just erase what I can and cover it up with something else.

were there are several alternatives some people use to get the extreme darks if you dont want to go with 9b. Personally i wish they graded mechanical pencil leads that soft, but unfortunately they dont. Ive heard of some people using prisma color black, but im afraid the pigment in that may be a bit too oily for the type of blending required of graphite. Another is charcoal. After messing around with it and experimenting, i personally think it is horrible to use it on a heavy soft grade surface (strathmore 200lbs). I think charcoal is only useful when you have a large tooth and a tint to the paper. Is charcoal considered black chalk, or is there such a thing as black chalk? Oh well, ...ramble ramble;....
