Drawing paper is a specialized type of paper designed for artists and students to create drawings. It typically has a smooth or textured surface that allows for various drawing techniques, such as pencil, charcoal, and ink. The weight and thickness of drawing paper can vary, with heavier paper being more suitable for wet media like watercolor. This paper comes in different sizes and formats, including pads and sheets, making it versatile for different projects. Many artists prefer using Bristol board or sketch paper for their unique qualities, which enhance the drawing experience and final artwork.
