Choosing the right paper depends on your technique. For school projects, sturdy A3 or A4 drawing paper works best and can handle pencils and colored pencils. If you paint with watercolors, choose paper with a higher weight, over 200 g/m², so it does not buckle. We offer special sketchbooks from ARTMiE, Art Creation, and Phoenix for sketching and markers, helping you get great results.

At ARTMiE, you’ll find a wide selection of products, from school drawing paper and professional sketchbooks to special watercolor and mixed media pads.

How to Choose the Right Paper
- Choose your technique – 90–120 g/m² sketch paper is enough for pencil, while watercolor requires at least 200 g/m² paper with texture
- Choose a format – A5 for travel sketches, A4 for studies, A3 and larger for finished work
- Choose a binding – a glued pad holds sheets in place for wet techniques, while spiral binding makes it easy to tear sheets out
- Check the weight – the wetter the technique (watercolor, gouache), the higher the paper weight you need. Paper under 200 g/m² will buckle with wet techniques

Frequently Asked Questions About Drawing Paper
What paper is best for pencil drawing?
For pencil drawing, we recommend smooth sketching paper with a weight of 90–150 g/m². Hahnemühle Sketch and Rosa Studio offer an ideal texture. Pencils glide smoothly across the paper, and erasers leave no marks.
What paper do I need for watercolor?
Use paper with a weight of at least 200 g/m² for watercolor, ideally 300 g/m². Texture matters too: rough paper is best for loose paintings, cold-pressed paper is versatile, and hot-pressed paper is suitable for detailed work.
What is the difference between a glued pad and a spiral-bound pad?
A glued pad holds sheets firmly in place on all sides, making it ideal for watercolor and wet techniques because the paper buckles less. Spiral binding makes it easy to turn and remove sheets, so it’s more practical for sketching and dry techniques.
What is mixed media paper?
Mixed media paper (200–250 g/m²) is designed for combining different techniques: pencil, watercolor, acrylic, collage, and pens. It is sturdy enough for both wet and dry media and has a versatile texture.
