Drafting and Layout Papers


Used by technical artists, architects, and graphic designers for creating technical drawings, drafting paper (also called drafting vellum) is typically made from cotton and wood pulp. It is also used by artists and crafters for creating fine line drawings, invitations, formal correspondence, and calligraphy.


Blick also offers many types of layout paper for sketches, preliminary drawings, or finished comps done with pencils, pens, and markers. These strong, transparent papers can be used to trace over a previous drawing or as an overlay. For getting (and staying) organized, Blick offers a wide range of choices, including Leuchtturm1917 bullet journals, Rhodia notebooks and note pads, Paper Source list pads and notes, and themed journals for gift-giving.


Drafting Vellum or Paper Vellum has a smooth surface like that of parchment vellum, traditionally made from calf-skin, but it contains no animal products. It is used for fine line drawing in both pencil and ink. It takes erasure well.
