Many novice friends think that sketch paper and A4 paper are not much different, for the convenience of the picture, they directly use A4 paper, notebook paper, homework paper, etc. for sketch learning, so sketch paper and A4 paper are the same? The answer, of course, is different! And Xiaobian does not recommend novices to use A4 paper to learn sketching, the effect of these two kinds of paper is really completely different, and then Xiaobian will introduce to you what is the difference between these two kinds of paper.

The characteristics of sketch paper are thick, but also relatively rough, wear-resistant, very easy to know the color, there is a unique texture, the paper has a certain hardness, the pencil is very good to color, and it is easy to modify and not easy to break when rubbing back and forth. Sketch paper is divided into two sides, the rough side is the front, sketch paper has different sizes and weights, generally speaking, the higher the unit weight, the thicker the paper, the better the quality. You can choose the right size of sketch paper according to the content of the drawing, whether it is a still life or a figure.

The paper surface of A4 paper is smooth and neat, and the paper is very thin compared with sketch paper, which is suitable for printing and coloring with dyes such as ink, but then drawing a sketch on A4 paper is easy to slip and difficult to modify. And the size of the A4 paper is fixed, so we don't have enough to draw larger content.

Therefore, students who want to learn sketching should obediently buy sketch paper, do not use A4 paper instead, and use professional paper for painting can make you have a better drawing experience.
