Most of my recent drawings, including this one, have been on Strathmore recycled paper 400 series, acid-free, 80 lb medium Probably cold press but it doesn't say. I just like it because it's the closest to pure white I have on hand with enough texture for graphite layers. I prefer Strathmore over Canson from what I've tried so far. Since I can be pretty rough with the paper. I'll experiment with others when I run out of this one.
