Tissue paper looks good for "roll roofing" - i.e. tar paper. Use the kind you'd wrap gifts in, or sometimes comes with shirts. Cut to a suitable scale width (24 to 48 inches) and length (rolls are probably 20 to 50 feet, given the weight).
I then paint my roof substructure with a generous coat of black paint. Lay the tissue right in the paint, gently working it in with the paint brush. Let it dry, then paint again with the same paint. If you want to detail patches or seams, use a sharpie marker or even a glue syringe filled with the same paint to outline the patches or seams.
Hope that helps.
