Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Smooth Pad

A smooth Bristol surface is useful when clean lines, controlled marks and fine details matter. The low-tooth surface allows pens, fineliners, markers and pencils to move smoothly, making it suitable for illustration, technical drawing, comics and graphic artwork.

The range of sizes makes the pad practical for both smaller studies and larger finished pieces. Use it for detailed pencil work, pen and ink, marker illustration, lettering, comics and other artwork where a smooth, bright white surface is important.
