Review on πŸ“ Canson XL Series Bristol Pad 9x12 Inch - Heavyweight Paper for Ink, Marker, or Pencil Art - Smooth Finish, Fold Over - 100lb - Bright White - 25 Sheets by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dope, smooth, ideal weight for illustration.

This paper is tough. I've always preferred thicker paper, but bought this after testing all the Bristol smooth papers I could find in the US (I'm from the UK and use different brands of paper). It holds the ink damn well once it's cured. It retains the brightness of my Copic markers and doesn't take up too much ink like the thicker paper. The only downside is that like most smooth papers, the fineliners take about a minute to dry completely, so be careful with the working direction.

Pros
  • 9 x 12 inch 25 sheets
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
