Coquille board cost about $4 US per sheet. They come 24 x 36 so you can get a few drawings out of it. Check your local art store or try http://www.dickblick.com
I don't know that your drawings would be better, but it is a highly textured surface. I have a drawing around here somewhere I did of a Honore Daumier drawing on it. (Daumier, and Delacroix are 2 of my favorites. Big ups to France for them 2 dudes). I just think that you have a good art eye and though the texture may cause you to lose some tight tight detail the way the grainy surface pulls from your chalk or conte crayon might work for you.
Maybe I'll get some and do a piece on it so you can see.
Oh I do most of my drawings on 11 x 14. I'll scan in 2 parts reassemble and then layout whatever it is I'm doin.

Ok, I see, you're talking about ink you buy in small bottles. I started to use recently INDIA INK ( the brand KOH-IN-HOOR: not shure of the spelling). Some of those ink are used in technical drawings pencils like the ROTRING ones. I have two Rotring, but I don't use them to draw cars. So I use the ink who is supposed to be in those pencils.
The Coquille paper is textured, but I don't think I will use it because I like a flat surface, but it would be interesting to see what effects it gives .
Drawing on 11x14 is it easier for you than smaller formats? Do you think I should try bigger drawings(I tought making a poster about 20x20)?
