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.
