Mark paper and sketch paper are two commonly used drawing papers, but there are some differences between them. Mark paper is a painting paper specially designed for markers, it has high-quality paper and high water absorption, which can make the colors of markers more vivid and full. Sketch paper, on the other hand, is a kind of drawing paper suitable for pencil sketching, which has a thicker texture and has poor water absorption.
The main differences between them are in terms of material, paper texture, size, and use.
1.Material differences:Mark paper is usually made of wood pulp or other high-quality fiber paper, which has a certain strength and toughness, and has high water absorption, which makes the color of the strokes on which the marker pen is more vivid and full. Sketch paper, on the other hand, is made of high-quality plant fibers, has a thicker texture, and is less absorbent, so it is more suitable for pencil sketches and some fine drawings.
2.Paper texture differences: The texture of the marker paper is rough and has a certain glossiness, which makes the marker brushstrokes easier to show, thus making the painting more three-dimensional. In contrast, the texture of sketch paper is more delicate and smooth, making the pencil's lines smoother and easier to grasp.
3.Size differences: Mark paper usually comes in a variety of different sizes, including A4, A3, A2, etc. Sketch paper, on the other hand, is available in different sizes such as full-open, half-open, four-open, eight-open, sixteen-open, and thirty-two, and beginners can choose four-open or eight-open according to their personal needs.
4.Difference in use: Mark paper is mainly used for the creation of marker pen paintings, especially in the field of commercial and advertising design. Sketch paper, on the other hand, is suitable for a variety of drawing tools, such as pencils, mechanical pencils, sketch pens, water-based pens, and needle pens, etc., and is especially used in fields such as sketching and sketching.
Although mark paper and sketch paper are both painting papers, due to their differences in material, texture, size, etc., they have been widely used in different painting fields.
For example, in the field of commercial and advertising design, mark paper is more suitable for drawing with markers due to its high quality and high water absorption, while in fields such as sketching and sketching, sketch paper is more suitable for drawing tools such as pencils, mechanical pencils, sketch pens, water-based pens and needle pens due to its delicate texture and smooth surface.
