New Art Board Test

I tried out a new brand of paper recently. Strathmore Bristol semi-smooth surface. I am looking for a new brand of comic size paper, so I got out the pencil and ink.
It was unsuccessful. I am used to paper that won't bleed when I use a Quill.
Maybe this board is meant for marker, because I could not be true to my own pencils because I kept getting snagged up.
I will keep looking for a good board.

Is that the 500 series stock? I used their 500 series plate bristol for a bit, and while I don't use quills it took brush work incredibly well. Try it out, it might work well with quills.

Yes, It's the 500 stock Ian. It's fine for brush, but I use a lot of technique on my art, so I need more.

Hi Don, HAve you tried Schoelerhamer boards and papers.
Very smooth, and no bleed. I used it a lot a few years ago when I worked in Europe. If you can find it, it may suit your work. Best of luck.
