What is "Bristol board"?
Bristol board is a smooth, thick, and durable type of paper often used for drawing and illustration. It is made from two or more layers of paper, giving it a stiff and rigid quality. Bristol board is commonly used with pencil, ink, markers, or colored pencils, as its smooth surface allows for detailed and precise work. It is available in different finishes, such as vellum, which is textured, and smooth, which is ideal for clean lines and flat colors. Artists and designers use Bristol board for creating sketches, final artworks, and professional illustrations.
