Description
The Strathmore 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad 118gsm is an indispensable studio and field sketchbook designed in the USA for portrait artists, animators, concept designers, and fine art sketchers across Pakistan who work with light and dark dry media.
Available in 9 x 12 inches for Rs. 4,200 and 11 x 14 inches for Rs. 4,750, this wire-bound pad features medium-weight 118 g/m² (80 lb) acid-free drawing paper crafted from 100% recycled fibers (including 30% post-consumer waste). The cool, neutral gray background eliminates bright paper glare and functions as an instant mid-tone value.
The fine drawing tooth provides balanced drag and control for graphite pencils, colored pencils, charcoal sticks, white pastels, and gel pens. By using the gray paper as the middle value, artists can rapidly render deep shadow values and crisp, luminous white highlights.
Constructed with sturdy double-wire spiral binding and micro-perforated sheets, the pad opens 360 degrees for comfortable lap sketching, while pages detach cleanly at full specified dimensions for framing.
