What tracing paper is the best???
There is a tracing paper in my country but it's super thin. (I use it for making tissue foil )and i can't fold anything with it except for the Robert Lang's praying mantis. So what's the best tracing paper there is?

Re: What tracing paper is the best???
Okay so you posted this thread twice..? I think you should delete one of them
Anyway, to be honest, tracing paper sucks. I know some people can make beautiful works out of it, but I would try to look for a good type of kraft paper or such. I have "speedball Tracing Paper" Google it, and you'll easily find it. it's the same stuff shuki kato uses if you want a comparison

I would rather fail trying than fail without trying....

Its difficult to use, but it certainly isn't the worst. I've made some really good models out of it.
I use canson tracing paper, simply due to availabilty.
Anyways, to get a good result, you should wet fold it once you finish the base. One limb at a time. Make sure the you do any small details before wetting the paper (fingers, claws, etc)
