2-Pack - Strathmore 412-109 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad, 9"x12" Wire Bound, 50 Sheets Each

Excellent choice for drawing

This paper has a nice weight and texture. I have been using it with soft, graphite, pencil, and white charcoal. The tint is a good balance on the grayscale.

This is the first time I've used a toned paper sketch book. I like the consistency of the paper quality and the sturdy construction of it. I'm a traveler, the actual construction quality is important. I'm happy with this purchase.

I'm pretty cheap so to me it is a little pricey for what is essentially paper. That said, it is cheaper than any other bundle of quality paper. It is really good for colored pencil work which I've done as part of an art class.

This is perfectly adequate toned drawing paper. It's especially good if you're planning to use a few different hardnesses of pencil or charcoal, and to use some white charcoal or pastel pencil for highlights.

I recently saw a video with Aaron Blaise (animator Pocahontas, Lion King, Brother Bear and more), and he talked about using these sketchbooks. He draws in them with Kuretake Bimoji brush pens as well as Sakura Gelly Roll white pens, the results he gets are incredible. I am attaching one of his images .... Not mine

The paper quality is excellent.

Kids love this paper and have been drawing like crazy during quarantine. Worth every penny as it keeps them off their electronics :-)

I paid for the 2 pack $50 and it literally says “2 pack” on the label and it only came with 1? Extremely disappointed
