•  Use the side of the pencil lead

 •  Rub the pencil lead on fine grit sandpaper and apply rubbings to paper

 •  Scrape lead of pencil with exacto knife or other sharp object and apply to the surface of the paper with tip of pencil or other object.

 •  Find a fairly flat textured object and lay beneath paper and do a colored pencil rubbing onto the surface (known as frottage) of the paper in areas needed. The heavier the pressure from the pencil the more visible the texture.

 •  After layering many colors, try using an eraser, such as a battery powered one, to make different patterns on the surface of the paper.
