These pads contain versatile, cream-colored drawing paper for sketching and most finished work. The paper is ideal for working with pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, or sketching sticks to achieve a great depth of tone and uniform areas of halftones. It features the same cream color as the top-selling 400 Series Drawing papers; however, the medium surface of this extra heavyweight 100 lbs (163gsm) paper has slightly more texture than the 80 lbs sheets found in the 400 Series Drawing pads. Each spiralbound pad contains 24 perforated "actual size" sheets.
