How to use

Work on a stable surface, hold the book at a slight angle for comfortable hand movement and use pencils, charcoal sticks or pastels that suit the 80 g/m² weight. For heavier charcoal or multiple pastel layers, consider placing a protective sheet under the working page to reduce transfer to subsequent sheets. Tear or cut pages cleanly along the glued edge when you need to remove a sheet for framing or scanning.

Recommendations

Store the drawing book flat or upright in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve paper quality. Use fixative spray cautiously on completed charcoal or pastel works to avoid buckling; test on a corner first. For archival purposes or wet media, choose a heavier-weight or specially treated paper instead.
