Smooth paper is great for graphite, but it doesn't hold charcoal or pastel as well as drawing paper with a rougher texture. It's called charcoal or pastel paper. It will have the texture you want. Canson Mi-Teintes, Canson Ingres, Strathmore 500 Series and Fabriano Tiziano are popular choices.

What is real meaning of drawing?
Drawing is what you see, process it, give it your own thought and add things. Drawing is never rudimentary. Drawing is going with the flow of thoughts and giving meanings.
