## Description

The Strathmore 500 Series Sequential 2-Ply Plate Surface Art Bristol Pad is the ideal pad for experienced artists. Designed for comic, cartoon, and graphic novel creation with an unsurpassable ultra-smooth finish; the 11"x17" size creates an optimum surface for those art styles. The Strathmore 500 Series Sequential 2-Ply Plate Surface Art Bristol Pad works well with pen and ink tools, specialty pens, specialty markers, and airbrush. Although not recommended for traditional watercolor techniques, the ultra-smooth finish is excellent for precise and detailed works. Paper is our art form, and we celebrate artists. We have kept the tradition of creating beautiful, high-performing papers alive for over 125 years. Choice of paper is one of the most important decisions an artist makes in determining the outcome of their work. No matter your choice of medium, you can be confident Strathmore paper will enhance your artistic efforts.

Review: Smoothest paper Ever - Siply love this paper.
Review: Interesting paper stock for comic creation - The pros: Easy to draw on, inks well. Great weight and durability for inked line art if you work at a decent pace. Finished originals look great. The cons: Very toothy surface *not smooth at all*, can have some ink bleedage if you work slowly. Especially when filling black areas with brush *compared to other professional grade comic book boards*. This particular board does not work well with color markers. Also had some odd issues scanning in pages, lot of texture from the paper scans in when zoomed in, but easily correctable if you understand and use level adjustments in Photoshop. I use a 4H lead holder for pencil rough work and this paper is pretty difficult to erase after finish inking, however I am a bit heavy handed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smoothest paper Ever

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best drawing paper I've used
*by R***B on April 6, 2023*

The thickness of the bristol is perfect for final pieces, especially for my commission projects. The Vellum surface has great tooth for holding down layers amof graphite and charcoal. This allows great blending and gradients. The 500 series is archival and made to withstand the test of time. This paper is great for erasing and reworking areas.
