The paper does half the work. A toothed surface catches and holds pigment where a smooth sheet lets it sit loose and fall away. Soft pastels blend readily and shed dust; oil pastels grip harder and will not erase. Anything unfixed needs storage that will not smudge it, so plan where finished work goes before the session. See art paper, crayons and drawing supplies.
