Hi Pals

A few years ago I moved to Mexico (my current location), and Iīm looking for some good paper to make some marker sketches, I canīt remember the names of the papers I used to draw when I was studying in the states, can someone give me some advice?

I have AD markers.

thanks in advance.

I use copicmarker paper for my marker drawings, works great for me, but if you are doing a proper drawing to be framed, might be better to use thicker paper.

the problem is that here in mexico I can´t get any copic markers or paper, any other suggestion?

I think I can get the bristol board, but as I recall it "sucks" too many ink from the marker, I need something less porous, I used to draw on heliographic copies, that paper was nice to draw in, but I haven´t seen a HGc copier since a while ago.

thanks for your support.

well, just as an update, I found a paper that is quite good for marker rendering, here in mexico itīs called "gallery", if someone else has the same problem as I in a place where you cannot buy copic paper this will help, thanks to all you guys helping me out.
