I bought a sketchbook at Action. It says it is suitable for ink, pencil, oil pastels and charcoal. I wonder how that works out and decided to test it. Well, it is hard to make anything visible on black next to fact it needs a different way of drawing.

I managed to draw something quickly but noted that it is easily wiped out.
I have no clue how to save this sketch. If I close book (yes it is a book) the drawing is gone.

I decided to use some hairspray instead. Well, that didn't work out well. Immediately I saw the drawing vanish before my eyes.

The question that remains is: for what else can I use this booklet? Perhaps for one phrase per day written with? As a blackboard or photo album?

Back to the drawing board...

I assume your drawing remained. What did you use? With me it is simply wiped out.

I love yours! Thanks for showing

White chalk on black paper with the help of brushes. Regards.

You know that drawing isn't my strong suit, well, but I like what you draw. Maybe it needs another pass with the brush, I don't really know, but I like how it looks.

The problem is that it doesn't remain on the paper. It can easily be wiped off and there is no way to save it for doing so.
I will see if I find a different type of black paper.

You already know what to do, but I like it

Wow I wanted suggesting an hairspray for you which will help you work in layers but hearing that it didn’t work out make it’s very difficult.

Try using Acrylic to paint on it that’s the only way out I think.

I guess it is an option.

I wonder if there's another way to save it.
