What type of drawing pad is best for beginners?
As a beginner, consider a versatile sketch pad. This will help you decide on what you do and don’t like as an artist. Sketch pads are great for practising different techniques and are often more affordable, allowing you to explore without breaking the bank.
Is there a difference between sketch pads for drawing and painting?
Yes there is! The important difference is in the characteristics of the paper. The choice of texture depends on the artist's preference and the drawing medium used. Using heavy materials such as paint or inks on a sketching pad can cause bleeding through the pages.
