Textured paper like newsprint, toned paper, or rough sketch paper (e.g., Strathmore 400 series).

For a charcoal sketch, you'll want a paper with a rough surface that will hold the charcoal well.

Canson Mi-Teintes or Strathmore 400 Series. These papers have enough texture to hold the charcoal and allow for layering and blending. Choose a medium to heavyweight paper (at least 80–100 lb / 130–160 gsm) for best results.

Do drawing classes also have you make your own art, instead of just drawing what's around you?
Of course. First we practice drawing which helps us recognize and draw the form of all the things around us. It is those forms that later shape our art practice.
