My thoughts
This pad of paper I had wanted to give to my kids who like to draw manga style. But I will admit that this would not work for either of them. I really am not sure if I'm just using the wrong writing utensils (it says it is for ink pens, permanent markers, and all pencils). Every marker I used smeared. I tried give them adequate time to dry but it didn't seem to matter. All smeared.
My son is a lefty and has a difficult time already with smearing and smudging. My daughter is a bit of a perfectionist so I would imagine she would do better but I think this would be a cause of frustration for her.
The paper is semi glossy on both sides but more so on the front drawing surface. It is very smooth. The size of the paper is 9x12, with 24 sheets to the pad. It is suited for markers with a 60# weight, and doesn't absorb the ink so that it doesn't bleed through. But this semi gloss, slick surface seems to prevent adequate drying.
It is good for use with pencils. It is very very smooth.
I really cannot say if this is something that is good or not! honestly thought it would be a good fit for what my kids like to do but it turns out that this would just make the illustrations messy. Overall I'm not really happy with my experience with the paper.
