Vellum or Tracing Paper

 

Vellum is a coated paper that allows inks to sit entirely on the surface like glossy paper. The best vellum will allow you to completely erase your marker work without leaving any specking.

Vellum or tracing papers are transparent, giving you two surfaces where your coloring will show up - either the front or the back. Layering and blending on vellum is different than on more absorbent papers, but you can still get some really neat effects.

Papercrafters like to stamp on one side of the vellum and color from the backside so it won't mess up on stamped lines. Remember to always clean your blender completely after working on vellum or tracing paper.
