Drawing paper , with a higher weight and cardboard is as paper type , a particularly suitable for drawing or sketch paper, cardboard as the paper is laminated as linerboard . Particularly high-quality papers result in final artwork .

Cardboard papers are thicker types of paper that are especially used for drawing and book covers .

The drawing paper is differentiated according to the standard sizes of the paper format (DIN 476 and DIN EN 216), the degree of whiteness (numerical measure of reflectivity ) and the square meter weight (grammage or the basis weight of paper). It is a wood-free or cellulose and rag-containing paper with a high resistance to erasure and wiping, and also scratch resistance in the case of cardboard. Depending on the application, it is offered in different grammages from 60 g / m² to 250 g / m², as cardboard from 250 g / m².

One application in painting is a drawing on strong paper as a preliminary drawing on a smaller scale for a mural .

Drawing paper is available individually as sheet or roll goods, but there is also packaging as a drawing booklet with central stapling, often also to be torn off along a perforation ; as a sketchbook then often with ring binding. And there are drawing pads in which the stack of paper is glued on up to three sides so as not to slip, and in which the sheet is detached from its binding with a knife.
