what kind degree of toothage is your paper, is a higher toothage better for holding onto the varying degrees of tones?

I used to believe so but after trying out a decent variety variety of paper types I don't think it affects the tones that much. The texture of the paper does affect the overall look of the drawing but it also greatly affects how you go about applying graphite to the surface. The smoother the paper the more gentle you have to be when drawing. Drawing on smooth paper usually involves more layers.

The smoothest paper that I use is Bristol smooth. The roughest is regular watercolor paper. You might want to try Strathmore drawing paper though. If you go to finalprodigy.com and click on art supplies you can find all of the things that I use.
