Review: Great addition to any art enthusiast - Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your art journey, the Strathmore 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad is one of those rare supplies that immediately changes how you think about drawing. It is a staple on my desk for several reasons. Why This Paper Is a Game Changer The Mid-Tone Magic: Starting with a cool gray background instead of a blinding white one does half the work for you. Since the paper acts as your "middle value," you only have to focus on adding your darkest shadows and brightest highlights. The Perfect "Tooth": The surface texture is smooth enough for fine detail work but has just enough grit (tooth) to grab onto graphite, colored pencils, and charcoal without it sliding around. Pop Your Highlights: This is where the paper shines. Using a white charcoal pencil or a white gel pen on this gray surface creates an incredible 3D effect that you just can't achieve on white paper. Sustainable Quality: It’s 100% recycled (containing 30% post-consumer fiber), yet it feels premium and acid-free, so your sketches won't yellow or degrade over time. Review: its ok! - i'd say get this if u are really into trying to do realism with colored pencils or wanting to try new sketch paper. I really liked it, the paper quality is ok, its a bit easily rip able but it was still good if u take ur time, not for my rushed drawers. Erasability on here sucks though I'm not going to lie it was really hard cause you have to be extremely fragile. ## Features - Strathmore toned sketch paper pad- this sketch paper is ideal for light and Dark media - This item is manufactured in United States - Strathmore toned sketch paper pad- this sketch paper is ideal for light and dark media - This item is manufactured in united states ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008D2TV70 | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,872 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #56 in Sketchbooks & Notebooks | | Brand Name | Strathmore | | Color | Toned Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (11,205) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012017412219 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 14"L x 11"W | | Item Type Name | 400 Series Sketch | | Item Weight | 0.42 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | STRATHMORE | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Finish | Smooth | | Paper Weight | 80 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Sketching | | Sheet Count | 24 | | UPC | 012017412219 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Strathmore - **Color:** Toned Gray - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Dimensions:** 11x14 inches - **Paper Finish:** Smooth ## Images ![400 Series Wire Bound Toned Sketch Pad, 80 lb.

Sturdy in all factors. *by I***R on February 28, 2023* This is a quality mid-tone sketchbook. I like it for quick sketches or urban sketching. I often use it with black and white charcoal and it works well with that. What I like: The tooth. This holds thick applications of charcoal or powdered graphite well. The color. This sits at a nice mid point, letting me evenly darken the shadows and brighten the highlights without anything seeming out of balance. The binding. This lays flat, as expected of a spiral bound. The binding does not catch on anything in my bag. The pages are sturdy and not prone to falling out. The sturdiness of the page. I am not very good and have to erase a lot. This tolerates that kind of abuse quite well. I recommend the Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser even so, as that's really gentle on the page, but either way, this paper can take a lot of reworking. I've had paper lose its tooth after too much rework. Not an issue here. The size. This is just small enough to carry around easily and just large enough to give me a good surface to work on. In this too, it hits a nice midpoint. I would normally put a "what I don't like" section in a review, but here I can't. It would be empty. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Gray, 11x14 inch, 24 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Tan, 5.5x8.5 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Blue, 11x14 inch, 24 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4684438-400-series-wire-bound-toned-sketch-pad-80-lb-paper](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4684438-400-series-wire-bound-toned-sketch-pad-80-lb-paper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
