>>5860053Besides this one and the gray one (I prefer the warm tone), I've tried the paint-on (I've observed it discoloring easily over a few days of partial sunlight; not a big fan of it as a drawing surface, but the paper is cheap and can take some acrylic & gouache), hahnemuhle cappuccino sketchbook (expensive, not spiral-bound, nice paper for drawing & ink, and it has a nice feel to it). Besides, I've tried some ingres from Canson IIRC, on various earth tones. They were alright, but I'm not a big fan of the ingres marks, especially for fine drawings.
What I'd recommend is to tone it yourself: buy some good 100% cotton paper if you can, and use some watercolor earth tone like burnt umber. I've experimented with a relatively large sheet of first quality cellulose drawing paper and brown shellac ink while stretching it with kraft paper on some plywood. It was decent for a first try, especially considering the paper. I expect 100% cotton watercolor paper+watercolor to behave better (e.g. the ink lift a bit from the paper upon erasing).
Toning it yourself allow you to control paper quality (if you want to sell later, better use good paper), value, hue.
