HolePisser1982 posted:illustration of three levels of black pigment: lightest/glossiest is Pentel pigment black, middle dark is Platinum Chou Kuro, darkest is Faber Castell Musou Black (acrylic). the pentel pigment black is a totally good ink! but it's funny how quickly it can look like a midtone when placed against these super dark ones I don't have much to add with regards to the inks, but I like how you've used the different pigment levels to deepen the shadows. It really gives the drawing a sense of depth, so much so that at first glance I thought you'd actually layered a couple of pieces of paper.

Anyone have a recommendation for a top-bound (glued or otherwise), letter-sized paper pad that has a toothier paper than the smoothness of Rhodia?

I think Franklin Christoph makes a top bound spiral notebook. I can't stand Rhodia, but I don't mind this. Though it's not as good to me as Midori. So that probably counts?

Midori is my gold standard for now as I absolutely love the way their paper feels, but unfortunately their paper pads are lacking. Either they have glue on two sides or come in pastel colors, which are unfortunately features I don't need. This search started because I got a Life bank paper pad but only after the purchase did I learn that bank paper was discontinued by them years ago. I love the pad but now I need something different that I know won't run out.

are you looking for sticky note-type pads or just like, legal-style pads with Midori's paper? If the latter, have you ever looked into make your own? I think you can make some simple binders with just stuff from the grocery store.

Basically I'm looking for a letter-sized legal pad, which to me has always been called a 'paper pad' though now I realize that might be a regional word for them. Making my own is a good option that I haven't considered. I do like bookbinding so its something to think about. I'll have to see if Midori makes loose sheets of their gridded paper as thats probably my favorite. Edit: I should clarify: for size, I mean US letter size paper, or A4.

Letter-sized and A4 caused my brain to briefly short-circuit. On to the topic, but do you have any retailers around you who sell Oxford? I think that company bought out Clairefontaine recently, and while the one Clairefontaine notebook I got was glossy, shiny, and so slippery it made most of my pens slide right off, I've had a good experience with Oxford paper, in that it took ink pretty nicely, the page had a nice, hefty feeling and didn't feel as treated as the glossy polished shine of the clairefontaine. I would still advise you check one physically first, but that may be difficult depending on your location. e: although, looking on amazon, i'm not quite sure the Oxford in the US is the same company as that in Europe, so someone else might need to weigh in on that. mortons stork fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 10, 2025 |

A steno pad is a specific sort of lined pad, and I think they have a specific size, too. I think the generic term for what most people would just call a legal pad (regardless of size) is just "writing tablet," although that's probably been poisoned by tablet computers. But yeah, they're basically just sheets of paper, maybe with perforations to make them the appropriate height, stapled to a bit of cardboard (or I guess glued to the bit of paper that wraps around the top). Shouldn't be too hard to make your own, if you really wanted.
