Canson XL Series Drawing Paper, Black, Wirebound Pad, 11x14 inches, 40 Sheets (92lb/150g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Colored Pencil, Ink, Pastel, Marker

The pages are thick and nice quality, they dont warp, and they held up nicely when I used spray adhesive on them. Charcoal and graphite work great on the surface and I love that the pages are serrated for easy removal. Overall, this is a great, inexpensive large drawing pad.

Thick beautiful paper. I love this book and the fact the pages tear out is amazing. It’s almost like a weighted card paper. Super high quality and all types of inks glide smooth. I just started to try and draw and this is really fun to work with. I don’t like white paper. Will be buying more when this one is full.

So, absorbs the paing a bit too much,suggest using it for something drier

Excellent quality paper! I have always trusted Canson when it comes to paper:) lately I’ve been doing some scrapbooking and the paper is divine! I tried looking at other “scrapbooking” brands, but I thought to myself wait this is black paper and I know the quality of the paper is better than any brand. So my go to for scrapbooking!:)

Wonderful satin texture and the colors really pop. Smooth enough for detail work with just enough grit to take the color in. Great with pencil gel pen, craypas, and pastel; I use colored pencil and a fancy aquarell crayon. Not good with too much water but can take some paint; experiment I say. Also try both sides of the paper for all media to see which you prefer.

Once you go black, you may never go back. Everything is more exciting. Depth. Vibrance. Coverage. Perforated. Convenient tablet. Just love it!

The book is everything I was expecting. I just wish the packaging was better. Maybe put in a thin foam sleeve of some sort.. The bag it was in was tore and its snowing where I live so it would have been wet if I wasnt home to get the mail. No major damage. A fuss to return for an exchange. But its a gift for my son so it is a little disappointing. Lesson learned.

Got it for school

Fun, your art just pops. Great with gelly roll pens

Love the size, but the dimensions were a bit off which is kind of annoying. Still good quality paper though, I’d recommend.
