Smooth, heavyweight paper that erases completely without ghosting or surface damage, critical for drawings that evolve through multiple revisions. Canson formulates this 70 lb. (114 gsm) surface specifically to withstand aggressive erasing, letting you refine compositions and correct proportions without compromising paper integrity. The 14-point weight prevents buckling under repeated pencil layers while maintaining enough tooth for graphite adhesion.

Wire binding keeps the pad flat during work, whether sketching at an easel or drawing on your lap. Micro-perforated sheets tear cleanly along true-size edges, eliminating ragged borders when you remove finished drawings. That superbly smooth surface suits precise graphite work, pen and ink, and marker techniques that demand consistent texture without visible grain interrupting fine details.

XL pads deliver studio-quality paper at practice-friendly pricing. Build skills through volume work, thumbnail sketches, figure studies, compositional experiments, without hesitation about wasting expensive sheets. The surface handles everything from light preliminary marks to dense tonal rendering, making these pads equally useful for quick studies and refined finished drawings.
