Almost all the time, and especially for gestures, I use recycled paper from what the students have left behind. I just draw on the other side. I wonder if this counts as collaboration? In the case of the first drawing I would say indeed it does. I think there is also an element of collaboration in how the paper is treated, smudged or clean, surface broken or bent or straight, ripped or whole etc. If the drawing is real real light sometimes I'll just draw right on top of the existing drawing and see what happens.
