Sketch freely on affordable newsprint that handles pencil, charcoal, and ink

Newsprint's rough, absorbent surface accepts charcoal, graphite, and conte crayon with immediate tooth, no slipping, no fighting for coverage. This 30 lb. weight strikes the balance between economy and durability; sheets handle aggressive mark-making and erasing without tearing, yet remain affordable enough for daily practice and quick studies. Natural color provides neutral warmth that doesn't compete with your marks.

Pacon manufactures these sheets in multiple sizes to match different working scales and formats. The 500-sheet ream structure means fewer interruptions restocking paper when you're working through gesture drawings or developing ideas across multiple iterations. Stack a ream beside your easel for figure sessions, keep another at your desk for thumbnail compositions, or tear sheets freely for experimental techniques without calculating costs per page.

Newsprint remains the standard for foundational drawing practice because it encourages volume over preciousness. These sheets support the repetition and exploration that builds drawing skills, hundreds of attempts at capturing proportion, value, and movement without the psychological barrier of expensive paper.
