Doesn’t leave smudges when erasing, but I use the white erasers used for art. Paper does not tear when erasing or pressing down hard (which I do when writing or drawing) I really love the fact permanent markers and paints don’t bleed through at all!! I highly recommend this art book, could be used for journaling if you so wish, I write my poems and thoughts after I decorate it with my artwork. I give it 5/5 stars and two thumbs up!
Great for beginner artists I’m not a professional or a beginner I make mistakes all the time and so I erase a lot, the paper is perfect for this because no ripping or tearing at all.
Again I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this it’s perfect for all ages which age range would be 3-99+ age range.
My “adopted” (my BFF daughter) is two years old and she loves to color and draw with me and she doesn’t get upset when I hand her a page or two out of my little art book because the paper doesn’t rip or bleed through on her and she smiles ear to ear when she colors with me more so when I hand her one of these pages.
Medias I have tried:
Acrylic paint - I have made a few color mixing charts which is juts small squares of blended colors of acrylic paint. The paint sticks to the paper well, but if you look at the back of the page you can see the distortions and warping from the moisture of the paint. I haven't decided if I am gutsy enough to do an entire painting on this paper. If I do, I will tape it down to help prevent warping.
Water colors and water color pencils - I am lumping this together since it involved adding a lot of water on top. This performs pretty well for these. But, again we have slight warping of the paper. It seem to work much better than standard card stock out of the package when using with water colors - significantly less warping. If you are applying a small amount of water colors you will probably be happy. If you are doing a lot and trying to layer up we, just buy watercolor paper. Taping it down should help as well.
Pencils and colored pencils - This works great for these dry medias! I also tried it with standard ball point pens and was happy.
Water based markers - I used some random target brand marks, Crayola, and Stablio markers on this paper. I liked how it worked. Again, like the other wet medias if you soak the paper with wet it can warp. But, its thick enough you shouldn't have any bleed through. My Stablio markers are super fine point and I use them for drawing and loved them on this paper. But, I am happy with them on most paper. The thicker school supply type markers performed pretty well as well.
Overall, if you need a multimedia pad or sketch book, this will keep you happy! If you are looking for use with a specific media, you may want to look into pads formulated for those specific medias. And, with the awesome prices on Amazon, I will be back when I need another one of these.
