Strathmore Medium Drawing Spiral Paper Pad 11"X14"-24 Sheets -400500

This drawing paper is a revelation for anyone who takes their sketches seriously. The surface hits that elusive "sweet spot" of texture—it has enough tooth to grab onto graphite and colored pencils for deep, rich layering, yet remains smooth enough for crisp, fine-line detailing. You won't have to worry about frustrating feathering or bleed-through, as the heavy weight provides a sturdy, professional feel that stands up to aggressive erasing and blending. It transforms the act of drawing from a simple task into a tactile, high-end experience, making every stroke feel intentional and every finished piece look like it belongs in a gallery.

I'm an artist and have been using these pads since college. Now I can get them at a great price the next day. Win-Win.

I love this paper for pencil and for ink drawing. It's acid free, which is great, and is heavy enough with a beautiful delicate texture. I use it constantly!

I bought this book twice by accident

I wish this drawing pad had a thicker front cover. Other than that everything was really nice about it. The paper thickness was fine. Nice texture to the drawing paper.

This is a pretty nice sketch pad for quick study drawing and practicing one's various sketch techniques. What is probably my favorite thing about this pad -(we bought this for one of our daughters)- is that it is spiral-bound, making it trouble-free to go back and forth between unfinished pages with very little chance of the paper coming out (as can be typical with glue-bound pads with repeated page-turning). The back of this pad is hard-ish and allows one to use this on their lap to do some casual sketching and practice -(at least until you get down to the last 30 or so pages, then it can get bendy and "iffy" from that point)- without needing a table or alternate hard surface to bear down on beneath. While the papers are sprial-bound, each page has a smooth line perforation in case the artist wants to cleanly remove any pages from the pad. The paper itself is good for this price range, it's got a very slight tooth, and is pretty sturdy for what it is, as long as it's not excessively erased or very heavily blended with blending stumps. The paper stands up well to normal sketching and with 100 sheets of paper, should bring any artist (using dry media) several hours of practice/sketching pleasure.

Got this pad for my brother for his birthday this year. He has just now started to draw and really enjoys working in it. It says it's just for drawing on the front but you can pretty much use it with markers, pen and ink, coloring, professional charcoal and drawing pencils...the paper itself is a pretty heavy weight so I wouldn't be surprised if you could use it to paint watercolor on. Anyways, if you're interested in purchasing a drawing pad like this...don't go to an arts and crafts/department store. You need to purchase it here on Amazon. I work in an Arts and Crafts store and we charge $15 EASY for a smaller version of this pad. Outrageously expensive compared to the price here.

I love this paper, it takes layers of graphite, and erases well, very stout, archival, heavy weight, been a fav for years!

Excelente

デッサンに使用。とても描きやすいし、表紙がカッコいいです。

Fantastic item , well packaged

Perfecto. Empaquetado con mucho cuidar. Los páginas son condiciones perfectas. Llegó con una cubierto plástico para protección.

Good quality paper with smooth and toothy sides. Easy to use with graphite. Handles multiple erasings very well. Can be used with aquarelle type pencils as long as you don't use too much water.
