New art stationary (this week; #Augweek3)

The Bristols I had placed an order on Amazon, and Cart2India has arrived. Ordering online despite heh descriptions details provided has led to making wrong choices. Especially for pen and ink, paper thickness and surface quality both are crucial to note.

I prefer 270gsm, which is the 300 series Strathmore provides. My first pick and convenient picks are always the Strathmore brand. Though I keep looking around for comic book inking matters, Strathmore is recommended.
