Strathmore 400-8 400 Series Drawing Pad, 18"x24", Ivory/Cream, 24 Sheets, Medium

The heavyweight, acid-free paper handles sketching and shading well, making it great for beginners. Its large size and spiral binding make it easy to use, and the quality ensures a good drawing experience.

I purchased this art paper for a class and have been really impressed! The weight is perfect…sturdy enough to handle multiple layers of charcoal without tearing, warping, or buckling. It has just the right amount of tooth to grip the medium well, but it’s still smooth enough to allow for subtle shading and blending. It came packaged neatly and flat, with no creases or bent edges, which is always a plus.Highly recommend this paper for any artist working with charcoal, graphite, or even pastel. It’s held up beautifully through erasing, layering, and heavy shading, as you can see in my still life drawing. Great value for the price and easy to use. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!

Good quality item. Good lightweight paper for drawing, watercolor or acrylic painting.

The media could not be loaded. I have used this brand of paper for years. I absolutely love their drawing paper because it can handle more than just charcoal, graphite, pen ink. I like to spray my graphite drawings to get a dripping effect. This paper handles quite a bit of spray water. The performance of this paper is exceptional and the weight is comparable to like brands. The value for the price is only one of the reasons I love it. I also love how well my graphite pencils blend on this paper. I can get really beautiful shades color. It also handles my aggressive erasing of mistakes.

Not the quality they once were.

Very nice pad

Great drawing tablet. Sturdy texture makes it easy to draw on using various mediums.

I use this product and others from the same company. Quality paper, horrible packaging. Corners are always damaged. Fortunately for me, I don’t need the entire page as I always account for a couple inch border when creating my drawings. The price is right but keep in mind that the corners will probably be bent. That being said, the smaller sketch books have always arrived perfectly, but this large one is poorly shipped.
