Masking tape tears paper off! Well, I thought masking tape is used for painting on paper because it can come off easily. I simply put masking tape on a drawing sheet and just to see whether it comes off easily or not, I started peeling it from paper - slowly.
It tore paper. A layer of paper came off with the tape.
Is there some particular way of putting masking tape on drawing sheets?
There are a few tricks of the trade for using tape on drawing paper. Here are some of them:

Use good quality paper.
Try using different types of tape to see which kind works best with the type of paper you're using.
Stick the tape to your pants one or more times before sticking it to the paper.
Don't leave the tape on the paper for more than 24 hours.
Remove the tape slowly, pulling away from the illustration instead of straight upwards.
Use a blow dryer or heat gun to heat up the tape slightly and soften its glue before removing it.
