I have this spray from that i got from an art store. It works great. I've heard Hair spray works too, but it might make your paper turn a little yellow.

Yeh, what nismo4banger said. I use it on all type of techniques. It is called Acrylic Coating. There's Crystal Clear 1303. And then there's Matte Finish 1311. The Crystal Clear stuff when used on a drawing using heavy color pencil layers makes it look reflectivly glossy. I love it.
Any art store even something like K-mart should have it. I do not recommend Hair Spray as it might curl up your page just a little from my experience, but it does the trick. MALIX

Wut up Alex
I bet your new sketch book has more tooth to it than the paper you were trying to use originally. I ran into this problem when I tried to use pastel on computer printer style paper. I give props to ya man, charcoal is hard in my opinion. I tried to use carbon pencils (like charcoal) on my silvia and screwed it up. I guess i should say it is difficult to use charcoal/carbon for fine detail and that is what I was trying to do. Charbon + detail + small artwork = screw up I use frisket film to keep pastel under control. You can also use stumps to smear charcoal and it will set into the paper and not smear as easily. I should say that worked for carbon not so sure about charcoal. The last time I used charcoal was back in high school. So you might ask what about the full range of darks I mentioned. Well I am using a 2B mechanical pencil which allows for very dark lines and I am researching other methods for a near black look. I guess you know about fixitive now too, based on the above posts. Take care. alfred

If your going to use hair spray use Aqua-Net in my experience its the best hair spray to use. But of course the real clear coat works better.

Re: How do you charcoal from being lifted off the paper by the slightest touch?
Ok, I have to say Asaenz, for a guy who does work like yours, it is kind of funny to hear you say that you find doing anything (in Art) diffucult... Oh well, I use it, and it is not as hard as it seems, for me, anyway. I will have to buy a stump, which I asked for, for Christmas, but got a acid blender for Prisma Colour Pencil Crayons instead. I will also have to buy some Frisket Film... And actually my OLD paper had more tooth than the NEW paper does, not the other way around. No biggy...Yeah, I will have to finish my drawing of an Enzo, Diablo, and F50 Street Race scene...all in charcoal...
