However, some users may find the paper not thick enough for heavy wet media like watercolors. Overall, the Universal Sketch Pad offers great value for anyone seeking an affordable and reliable sketching surface. Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced artists! Review: Great Quality Sketch Pad for Dry Media - Have used these sketch pads for many years. Heavyweight 65 pound paper with nice smooth fine tooth surface for drawing with dry media such as graphite pencil, colored pencil, pastels, Conté crayon, charcoal, Sanguine, and possibly some ink pens, although I have never used ink on this particular paper. NOT FOR WATERCOLOR or other liquid media. Acid free paper minimizes yellowing over time. Media erases well from this paper (I use Pink Pearl). Sturdy, heavy double wire spiral binding makes turning pages easy and keeps them flat. Micro-perforated pages facilitates page removal in case you want to remove and frame your masterpiece (I'd recommend pre-creasing the perforation before tearing to ensure it separates as designed). Ultra-fine Sharpie with very light pressure can be used but may partially bleed through to the back of the sheet. Thicker Sharpies or application of normal writing pressure will bleed onto next page. Pencil, charcoal and pastels will smudge when pages contact one another or from normal handling, so I'd recommend a workable spray fixative like Krylon Workable Fixatif 1306 to protect your artwork. I used cheap hair spray (Aqua Net) until they changed the formula and included more water which now wrinkles the pages. Comparable to Strathmore 400 Series sketch pads except the Canson sketch pad has slightly heavier weight paper (65 pound vs. 60 pound) and is a little less expensive. Happy drawing! ## Features - Developed for Professional Artists — The Canson Artist Series range features quality art surfaces required by professionals to complete showcase-worthy pieces; paper types include sketch, drawing, vellum, pastel, acrylic, canvas, mixed media, watercolor & unique templates for comicbook artists & illustrators - Dependable Sketch Paper — A finely textured surface for pencil, charcoal, pastel & graphite; erasable & smudge resistant - Convenient Pad — Wire bound with micro-perforated true size sheets - Multiple Sizes — Available in 5.5x8.5", 9x12", 11x14", 14x17", 18x24" - Acid-Free & Archival Quality — Rest assured your artwork will stand the test of time.

Great sketchbook especially for the price. It’s best for graphite, colored pencil and ballpoint pen. If you use fountain pens it will feather, markers might bleed through. Overall solid quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Canson Universal Heavyweight Sketch Pads, 9 In. x 12 In., 100 Sheets (100510851) (18686), White, 9" x 12" - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack - Faber-Castell Kneaded Eraser with Case, Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1096796-canson-universal-heavyweight-sketch-pads-9-in-x-12-in](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1096796-canson-universal-heavyweight-sketch-pads-9-in-x-12-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
