Comments about Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper:

This paper has a good surface for dry media like Conte crayon , charcoal, graphite, etc. I am trying different applications with surface prep for a bit more of a bite. Overall great weight, tint, and surface quality as sold. May purchase again.

It is great quality paper, can be used with drawing materials, charcoal, pastel(need to warm the pastel up to draw) not good for paints and I'm not quite sure on markers. Overall A+!

I mostly use these for quick sketches while I'm at school. My favorite thing about this pen set is how easy it is to transport. They fit in my bag neatly and I don't have to dig around for the color I want thanks to the handy little stand. They come in a decent selection of colors, and thanks to their design, they don't roll off of desks.

Comments about Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper:

Bought 3 rolls so far. Really exciting to use the big roll, 100 lb., which is a great weight -- you can really dig into the paper and do whatever you want. First roll was super tight (probably from the bottom of the bin). Next was really loose and sprang open by itself. In any case, take your time with the unrolling or the paper if its tight.

This drawing paper far exceeds my expectations. Its heavy duty to withstand a lot of abuse from my daughter and her artistic little friends! Its wider than most I looked at and comes in a nice length for the price. Thanks Blick Art!
