Kind of odd on grey. But whatever works for you. **Q: Is this grey paper dark, medium or ljght grey?** A: Medium gray. Dark mediums still visible on this paper. White really pops on this paper ^^ **Q: Arw there 50 sheets or 22? Reviews said they only have 22 but description says 50.** A: 50 is correct. Beware they sell also packages with paper sheets. **Q: Can you use colored pencils on here** A: This sketchbook is mainly for pencils and it's amazing with my prismacolors so yes 100% ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product ! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 January 2026* Really good quality toned paper. I have never tried drawing on toned paper before and was curious to try it. It really brings my drawings to life as it enables you to bring out more depth with white highlighting.For portraiture it creates a really unique a pop to all the details.You also get a good amount of sheets so I imagine it will take me some time to get through it and I will most certainly enjoy doing so. I will definitely be repurchasing! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth paper *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 July 2026* Really nice paper, best for crayons ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Impessions *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 October 2013* Ordered this after watching a youtube vid of someone using it.I have tried tracking this paper down in the UK but could only find one supplier and they only sell books with 25 sheets for about the same price as I purchased this book of 50 sheets for.!!Its not 100% clear on the Item page that this is coming from the USA, but the 3 week wait was worth it.The paper is a very nice mid grey and comes in a very sturdy spiral bound pad. Each page is perforated for easy removal is needed.For my needs the paper is great, its not super smooth but there is not as much texture as I was expecting. As a comparison its about the same as a Daler Rowney hard back sketch journal if you want to check one out at your local art shop.I have done a few sketches today to test the paper and it stands up well. I mainly use B to 6B pencils then use a Fabber Polychrome white pencil to add high light.. I have all so used some Touch and promarker art pens as a test and was surprised to find that the pens don't appear to bleed, but of course you have to take into account the colours look dull on the grey paper, but there good as base colours for using coloured pencil on top.Over all im very pleased with this purchase even with the wait, although the expected delivery date was set as the 2nd November it arrived today 21st October. Whether that will be the case next time I don't know ? But I will be ordering another pad this size and the bigger size too. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Gray, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Tan, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Blue, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://capeverde.desertcart.com/products/47986209-strathmore-toned-gray-sketch-pad-9x12](https://capeverde.desertcart.com/products/47986209-strathmore-toned-gray-sketch-pad-9x12) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cape Verde* *Store origin: CV* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
