Strathmore 300 Series 11" x 17" Tape Bound Bristol Sketch Pad, 24 Sheets/Pad (STTP3421703)

I bought it for my adult son because he's a proficient artist and he loves it!

Always great

Best substitute I could find for real comic book boards. You won't regret it.

great papper for markers.

This is the Strathmore comic board that doesn't have bluelines, making it PERFECT if you have developed your own comic book blueline margins to print on them. So the two reviewer's who remarked upon it's bluelines were reviewing the wrong product. That being said, it's a good board that is smooth, bright white and absorbs ink well without bleed. As for the reviewer that complained it had no blue lines, the description never said it did. They're blaming the product for their failure to read. I prefer this paper because it's sturdier, being a 300 series. And also a brighter white than Strathmore's blueline boards. It's a really great surface to do pencilling or inking on.

I thought I would try this pre-lined paper. I usually use unlined paper but figured I would save some time with the pre-lined. It says the blue lines don't reproduce, but they do in standard printers and copiers. I found myself having to use white ink to cover them when finishing some of my larger panels, also I would have liked the paper to be a bit thicker. The paper in general is sturdy and tolerated erasing well, but the lines are a deal breaker.

strathmore bristol is one of the best these are a little thin,and if you dont like the blue lines you can just buy plain,or buy these and flip them over and use other side
