Cedar Paonia: What is not to like about newsprint for drawing with charcoal? It rocks.

erin: I ordered this for my art class because I ran out of Newsprint. I was pleased to see that I could find the right size and amount of Newsprint I needed for class. It also came in exactly when it said it would come in right on time. If you are an art student, then you know how valuable supplies coming in on time is! I go through so much Newsprint in class and this is perfect for what I need.

Paola: En general el papel es bueno para el propósito por el que lo compre sin embargo el único problema que encuentro es que cuando llegó estaba dañado de la parte posterior aunque el papel estaba ligeramente arrugado (y personalmente no le di mucha importancia) me parece que por el tamaño del producto deberían cuidar mejor la manera en que lo envían ya que puede maltratarse fácilmente.

Carlos Al Sánchez Vel: Recibí lo que es un block de papel revolución, simplemente. Llegó un poco maltratado y mal empastado. Creo que será única compra de este ítem.

Grandavia: I was in need of something to put on the floor where my cat eats. He makes a mess when eating canned food and I finally got tired of cleaning cat food off tile and grout twice daily 365 days a year. First I checked out paper placemats but the price was outrageous. Then I thought of newsprint, found this tablet, and it's working out great. Nice big sheets so mister cat can drop all he wants. I just fold the carnage up in the paper and store in a bag in the freezer until garbage day.

AnonimoAnonimo: El paquete llego a tiempo y el block está en perfectas condiciones. El papel es tono grisáceo y un poco áspero por lo que es perfecto para técnicas con carboncillos. El precio igual es accesible. En conclusión muy buen producto.

A. Pfeiffer: There's a reason why newspapers use a specific kind of paper, which is because it's cheap to make. The reason this pad is so cost-effective is because it's made from the same material, which makes it an ideal purchase for practicing for the beginning artist. Keep in mind that jet-black ebony pencils do not turn out jet-black on this paper, rather a medium dark gray (HEX #666666 or so) which means your final product will not produce the same quality as on a thicker artistry paper. The quality of the newsprint is pretty good and the pad itself seems well-bound but flimsy due to its lightweight paper, so putting a board behind it is highly recommended.

I recommend this product for new sketchers that require a higher degree of practice, such as to practice their shapes (which are easily traceable on this paper - tracing shapes is good practice for muscle memory, but do NOT trace anything detailed, only cut-out shapes), lines, or object drawings before attempting them on more presentable surfaces. More advanced artists should purchase a more expensive pad with higher-quality paper as their drawings will have sufficiently better quality on it and tend to be more receptive to...
