Ok this might sounds odd but let me explain.

WIth my last picture finished, my last paper block got empty so i had to get myself some new paper to draw on. I got some paper, the kind i normally use since ages (literally) and began to draw a picture on my new block today.

As for some infos, im using the "Pilot V5 Hi-Tecpoint" to draw and "Faber-Castell super polymer 0.5 HB pencil pen" for my sketches i do on paper and later scan them and clearn them up for the digital colors.

As for Paper, i NORMALLY used "Herlitz 732404 Blanko A4" but it seems like they changed the kind of paper they were using over the year.

How so you might ask?

Easy: my Pencil lines seem to "brush" a bit thiccer around than normal and, most importantly, my inc pen, the Pilot V5, seems like to...how to explain...doesnt "dry" as fast as it used to be on the paper - even SO bad that the lines begin to smear if i went over them with my hands (i mean sure its normal that lines/inc smear if youre drawing them and went right over them with a finger or like but after 5 minutes still???).

So the last picture i drawn on this new paper is REALLY freaking smeared and i have to clearn it up somehow. gladly for me i went digital so i can save it but the sketch itself look...yea...terrible.

It really seems like Herlitz changed their kind of paper so i need some other paper to draw on.

It WOULD be nice if you guys could tell me some paper blocks (please blankos and maybe with some links) you use to sketch on. Im sure willing to try new stuff but i dotn think i wanna draw on said paper again since...well...if i would still be drawing on the FULL traditional way i guess i could have thrown away the sketch tbh...

thanks in advance for every help.
