Strathmore Colored Pencil Spiral Paper Pad 9X12-30 Sheets -62477900

Great quality paper, it would be nice if it had perfs so you didnt have to tear out the sheets. Also be aware there are not that many sheets so keep that in mind.

Like quality

Great drawing paper.

If you plan to use this as a concept sketch pad, go for it. If you plan to do lots of layering in your CP work, Id stay away. Its heavy paper, but it does not lend itself well to layering and the use of solvents. Im just using it for a sketchpad. Edit 6-22-16: If you plan to do burnishing and not excessive layering with solvents, you CAN actually accomplish a finished piece on this paper. But its still only going to be a concept pad for me.

I liked the surface texture and color (white) just fine. It is a strong paper that takes a lot of abuse if you have to erase or burnish over and over again. However, truthfully I did not see any difference between this and my many other multimedia sketch tablets of the same paper weight. Im new to colored pencils, so perhaps I am missing something, but I dont see why they bother to call this Color Pencil Pad.

I use this paper to print copies of my coloring pages (both copies from books or digital copies) which I color using Prismacolor colored pencils, Ohuhu Markers, Posca pens and gel pens. It is much better quality than the paper commonly used in adult coloring books. Just make sure to put a sheet or two of paper underneath my work to catch any bleed through. The paper in this notebook measures 9” x 12.” I have to cut it down to 8 1/2” x 11” in order for it to fit my printer. That’s my only issue with it. I save the scraps and use them to test other media which I plan to use on this paper. I definitely recommend it.

Great for sketching. Nice thickness.

Fanrastic, fast shipping

This isnt too bad and thankfully is on the edge of the pad, but you can definitely see and feel the dent on the paper.
