With other papers, skin tones were particularly difficult because you need to layer several different colors in order to achieve a nice, rich color (and then layer in even more for shadowing and accenting)... and most of the other papers I tried started to show the globbing and balling of the colored pencil wax after three or so layers

Ink does not smear dries nice and holds color well

Nice tooth and bright white color

High quality, great weight for color pencils all types and water color

Heavy stock with bright white color.

I like the weight and feel of the paper, and the color.
