I basically layer different graphite pencils on top one another.

so the paper won´t break? I use good watercolor papers, because they are fattier(but i cannot get decent black color) , but should i draw on special paper for pencils?

It depends on the texture of the paper usually. Rough, but not too rough. I use Strathmore 400 Series Premium Recycled Paper Pads, [link] , which are really good for dry media like graphite, charcoal and pencil color.
It really depends on the person's preference.
I'd practice shading on different kinds and compare. Then you can decide for yourself which shading you think is better.
