Yes. The 100gsm paper is acid-free, which helps prevent yellowing and extends the life of your drawings.

The surface is smooth with a light tooth that’s great for precise lines and shading with pencils, charcoal, and pastels. It’s not designed for heavy wet media, so media like markers or watercolor may not perform optimally.

The hardboard cover provides rigidity and protection for the pages, helping keep your sketches flat and protected when carried in bags or backpacks.

It’s well-suited for artists, students, and illustrators who prefer larger-format sketches and dry-media experiments on a sturdy, portable surface.

Use pencils, charcoal, or pastels on the 100gsm paper. Store the sketchbook flat to prevent warping, and consider using a protective sheet between pages if you’re working with softer pencils to reduce transfer. Keep it away from moisture to preserve the paper’s integrity.
