Paper and supplies
Ordinary 20-pound printer paper is suitable for crayons and colored pencils. Water-based markers usually look better on 28- to 32-pound paper. Alcohol markers can bleed through, so use approved heavier paper and place a spare sheet underneath. Confirm your printer supports any cardstock before loading it.
