Review on 🎨 Grafix P05DC0912: Ultra-Clear Film Pad (9 x 12") – 25 Sheets for Coverings, Stencils, Color Separation, Window Applications by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Tried it for colored pencil work

Probably haven't tried it yet - interesting surface to work with on both sides. Color pencil layers can only be applied a certain number of coats and apparently with more than a few washes the entire "tooth" is lost and literally can't hold the color pencil (oil or wax based). I discovered this the hard way and had to put some ink and paint in several places to save my parrot drawing. Experts refer to this particular surface as the "classroom," so be aware that it's great for ink but well-suited for serious colored pencil use. This seems fine for less detailed work like cartoons and illustrations. Most often, a carrier sheet is used to either add color or highlight the design. Art film is much more expensive so ok for learning!

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
