Drawing paper

What is drawing paper?

Drawing paper is a versatile and reliable surface for sketches, illustrations, and mixed media projects. It is usually smoother and lighter than specialised art papers like watercolour paper, making it ideal for pencils, pens, charcoal, or markers. Drawing paper is a must-have for artists, students, and hobbyists who want a clean, practical surface for everyday use.

Different types of drawing paper

At Vaessen Creative, drawing paper is part of the paper & cardboard collection. A popular format is drawing paper A4, which is the standard size for quick sketches, school projects, or practice drawings. Another essential option is white drawing paper, which provides a crisp, neutral background that makes colours and lines stand out clearly. Both types are available in pads or loose sheets, making them easy to use at home, in the studio, or on the go.

Creative hobbies & projects with drawing paper

Drawing paper can be used in many hobbies. In watercolour painting, it can serve as a base for light washes or mixed media experiments. In children’s crafting, drawing paper is perfect for doodles, colouring, or simple collages. Another inspiring use is in summer crafting, where white drawing paper can be used for sketching holiday memories, designing posters, or creating bright, colourful decorations. Drawing paper adapts easily to different creative styles and techniques.

Why choose drawing paper for your projects?

The main advantage of drawing paper is its accessibility and versatility. It provides a smooth, clean surface that works with many mediums, from pencils to ink. Because it is available in different formats and qualities, it can be used for both professional studies and casual crafting. Whether you are practicing, experimenting, or finishing a project, drawing paper offers a reliable surface to work on.
