White really pops on this paper ^^ **Q: Arw there 50 sheets or 22? Reviews said they only have 22 but description says 50.** A: 50 is correct. Beware they sell also packages with paper sheets. **Q: Can you use colored pencils on here** A: This sketchbook is mainly for pencils and it's amazing with my prismacolors so yes 100% ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Gold Standard *by on Reviewed in the United States September 5, 2025* This pad of paper is fantastic! I used it in a drawing class and it was excellent. Our instructor shared that this brand and style of paper is as good as it gets. I’ll buy Strathmore forever. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition to any art enthusiast *by on Reviewed in the United States March 30, 2026* Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your art journey, the Strathmore 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad is one of those rare supplies that immediately changes how you think about drawing. It is a staple on my desk for several reasons.Why This Paper Is a Game ChangerThe Mid-Tone Magic: Starting with a cool gray background instead of a blinding white one does half the work for you. Since the paper acts as your "middle value," you only have to focus on adding your darkest shadows and brightest highlights.The Perfect "Tooth": The surface texture is smooth enough for fine detail work but has just enough grit (tooth) to grab onto graphite, colored pencils, and charcoal without it sliding around.Pop Your Highlights: This is where the paper shines. Using a white charcoal pencil or a white gel pen on this gray surface creates an incredible 3D effect that you just can't achieve on white paper.Sustainable Quality: It’s 100% recycled (containing 30% post-consumer fiber), yet it feels premium and acid-free, so your sketches won't yellow or degrade over time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Draw more *by on Reviewed in the United States June 20, 2026* If you love working on toned paper this is right for yo u. Perfect size for larger drawings, but can also cut down to your required size for a drawing. Paper weight is perfect, quality is excellent it’s expensive but worth it. I primarily use pencils and charcoal. This is gray tone which I use if I want a cooler tone. There is also tan version for a warmer drawing. At this time in my artistic journey I prefer a tone paper versus white paper I’ve also purchased the 11x14 size. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Gray, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Tan, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Blue, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/4684437-strathmore-400-series-wire-bound-toned-sketch-pad-80-lb](https://www.desertcart.es/products/4684437-strathmore-400-series-wire-bound-toned-sketch-pad-80-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
