Drawing & Illustration

I want to buy a pad of "nice" paper for someone that is getting back into drawing portraits after a 40 year sabbatical.

This is all I know....they use pencil (a combination of hard for the rough outline, and soft ones for shading)...and they like to do them sort of large - thats all I was able to get out of him details wise {he mentioned that he was thinking about getting back into it while he is recovering from cancer - he hasn't done it since he was in highschool} - anyhow.....

I bought 14x17 inch 90 pound Medium tooth paper in "classic cream" (which if you ask me, looked very much like the white - but I'm no expert on the topic, ha ha)

Is this suitable for this application? or do you have another suggestion?

I was going to pair it with a picture frame and matt as a Xmas gift for someone who is literally impossible to shop for....

Thanks everyone - all input greatly appreciated.

I mean like the classics and others.. such as Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo, Tarzan, ect ect.

They only seem to make 3D movies, which all look the same =/

i'm curious about getting into graphic design, and i found this at wally world. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5996533 my question is, would this work for what i want to do? i want to get my artwork online like users on deviantart, but other than scanning or taking a picture (which doesn't look that good) i'm at a loss. thanks for your input. i'm not interested in software answers, the hardware is what i'm interested in. thanks!

and there's a good chance that the original illustrator (who is hard to track down) may be dead, how would I go about doing that?

The original illustration appeared in a document published by the Dept. of Interior in 1971. I suppose I could contact them..

Not sure where to post this one...

I'm an English teacher in France and working on Northern Ireland with my students, and more specifically murals in Northern Ireland.

I've found quite a lot of pictures of murals with 6-pointed stars.

Am I right in thinking it represents the 6 counties of Northern Ireland?
Or am I completely off the point?

The only thing I can find is rotate the entire canvas which I do not want to do. I just want to rotate one specific thing in the picture slightly.

I'm using full Photoshop 7.

I want to learn how to draw human pictures, that actually look something similar to the real person. Are there any steps, techniques or anything you can teach me about ?
