Apologies if this has been asked somewhere before.
I'd like to get a commission but I'd like to have the right materials before I begin.
-What paper do people recommend for commissions? I'm assuming the answer is smooth bristol but there seem to be different weights online (300/400/500) and I'm wondering which is most ideal for a quality pencil/ink commission that would maybe be colored at a later date. If there's a different, better paper I'd love to hear thoughts, as well as a specific brand to use.
-How thick should the paper be?
-Are there resources to get custom sized paper? I'd prefer 14x20 paper but it appears as though none of the places I've searched have that size specifically so I assume you'd need to buy a larger size and have it cut down, but I'm not sure where to get it cut.
Thanks for any help provided!
