## Description

Canson XL Drawing Pads feature paper with a smooth surface that erases cleanly. These wire bound pads have micro perforation for an easy removal. XL Drawing is great for use with pencil and suitable for colored pencil, pen, ink, charcoal, and pastel. This 5. 5" x 8. 5" pad contains 60 sheets of 70 pound/114 gram acid free paper.

Review: Perfect for sketching! - Probably the best sketchbook I owned. Definitely will buy more!
Review: Excellent, as always - I like a lot of the Canson XL stuff, especially the sketchbooks and watercolors. This is my go-to travel sketchbook, that I take with me to work and carry around. It's small enough to fit easily in a bag and isn't as bulky as a 9x12, so much more convenient when out and about (as much as anyone can be, these days). I particularly like the smoothness of this while still feeling like the paper does have a little bit of tooth. The paper is thick enough that you can easily use pens, though something like alcohol markers or paints would be better on a mixed media paper.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: if you tear the paper out, is it still 8.5x 5.5 or is that the size of the paper including where the spiral goes through the paper?**
A: When you tear out the paper it is 8.5x5.5. The portion connected to the spiral is not included in the paper dimensions.

**Q: How well can this paper hold up to erasing? I plan to sketch mandalas in pencil then erase after using gel pens. What is durability for this purpose?**
A: I'd try their mixed media style paper & I'm purdy sure they carry a blk version tho I've never tried it but it stood up in white to a cupl light mistakes I would make nothing like this tho but I think it's one of their toughest style the mixed version but for this id be erasing all the time lol I can't draw whatsoever either so that PROBLY matters here :) I'd try that since they said it didn't hold well. They did point out the blk almost faded behind the erasing which I gotta admit doesn't sound style specific that sounds like maybe the dye in the ppr needs to be better suited maybe another brand is better for this specific situation even tho Canson is my absolute favorite for most stuff I love their ppr usually go with mixed cuz of it's extreme durability with any media I feel like depending on a particular day which can vary extensively so it's better for me but this is great for black metallic pens which i use it for but I'm sorry I didn't erase much on that. Good luck!

**Q: Do gel pens work on it?**
A: Gel pens work beautifully on this paper

**Q: does this paper have tooth?**
A: Yes, I found this to be an excellent brand of sketch paper, & it does have some tooth to it. It isn't super heavy grain, smoother than some, but definitely takes the colored pencils that I bought with the sketch pad very well. The colors lay down clear & vibrant & cling to the surface very well. Hope this is helpful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine sketchbook
*by W***E on May 15, 2023*

This is for sketching, not for masterpieces. The paper is pretty thin and won’t really stand up to getting wet. If you need this for a class or want something to have around to scribble in, it’s good
