How do I choose the right multicolour storybook sketch pad from this Fabriano range?
Start by aligning your drawing needs with size, weight, and color variety. In this multicolour range you’ll find coloured drawing sheets offered in two main sizes: 21 x 29.7 cm (roughly A4) and 25 x 35 cm, each pack containing 12 sheets with a sturdy 180 gsm weight, all in multicolour. There is also an A3 option in the Elle Erre line featuring 180 gsm, 12 sheets, and colour variety. Pick according to your project scale: smaller sizes for quick studies, larger surfaces for bigger scenes.
What does 180 gsm mean for these coloured papers, and how should I pick a size?
180 gsm describes the paper’s thickness and sturdiness, giving a solid surface that resists buckling under light pressure from pencils and some markers. For this range, choose 21 x 29.7 cm or 25 x 35 cm when you want more drawing area or comfortable handling, and consider the A3 option if you plan larger illustrations or more expansive colour work. The 12-sheet packs are convenient for ongoing practice and keeping a steady supply on hand.
Which option is best for children or classroom use?
Children and classroom projects benefit from the multicolour surface because it helps with visual planning and storytelling. The Fabriano coloured drawing sheets are new and come in 12-sheet packs of 180 gsm paper, with two common sizes (21x29.7 cm and 25x35 cm) plus the A3 option in the Elle Erre line. Choose the 21x29.7 cm for desk-sized exercises, or the larger 25x35 cm when students work on bigger spreads and colour-combining.
How can I tell the difference between options in this multicolour line?
Look at size and paper weight first: the smaller 21x29.7 cm and larger 25x35 cm pads both use 180 gsm paper, while the Elle Erre A3 option also uses 180 gsm. Colour richness is indicated by multicolour throughout the range, and brands like Fabriano signal consistent surface texture suitable for sketching with pencils, markers, and crayons. The 12-sheet pack format keeps projects organized and lets you explore multiple colour combinations across surfaces.
What media work well on these papers?
These coloured drawing papers are designed for dry media such as coloured pencils, pastels, and markers, with the 180 gsm weight providing a sturdy foundation and reduced bleed-through on most common tools. The two primary sizes—21x29.7 cm and 25x35 cm—offer portability or surface area for bigger scenes, while the A3 Elle Erre option expands your space for more ambitious sketches. Keep experiments organized by grouping colours and saving leftover sheets for future practice.
How should I store and maintain the sheets after use?
Store the packs flat in a cool, dry place to prevent warping and colour transfer between sheets. Since these papers are new and come in ready-to-use packs, handle them gently to avoid creasing the edges. Keeping 12 sheets per pack helps you manage practice sessions without waste. If you plan to transport the papers, slide them into a protective folder and avoid bending or stacking heavy items on top.
