Toned paper changes how you sketch. Instead of building every value up from white, the grey base already sits in the middle, so you can push into shadow with charcoal or lift highlights with white pastel or chalk, getting a fuller tonal range faster than on plain white paper.

This approach is especially useful for portrait and figure studies, where mid-tones make up most of the drawing and only a handful of true darks and lights are needed to finish the piece. The 120gsm weight is sturdy enough to take repeated erasing and blending without tearing.

The compact A5 size and 20-sheet pack make it easy to carry for sketching on the go.
