One piece will last for one drawing ... but the question only you can answer, is how long will it take you to make the sketch of that one drawing? It could last a minute or ten decades ... it's in your hands.
If you're asking if you found an old piece or book of sketch paper how long would it still be viable? It would depend on what it's made of, but likely a couple decades. Acid free will last for a century or longer.

Copic makes satisfactory markers. How lengthy they final relatively is determined by: - how so much you utilize them - how rough you're employed them (should you use them for hours at a time or deliver them a relaxation) - the way you retailer them (consistently horizontal) - how cautious you're at placing the lids again on (you can listen a click on). The fine factor approximately Copics as you'll fill up them in the event that they do dry out - for part the price of a brand new marker. The nibs also are replaceable - this makes them a satisfactory significance over different alcohol-situated markers. You can most commonly rejuvenate a dried-out marker (should you've left the cap off) via shedding a couple of drops of denatured alcohol into the barrel.

In order to expect sketch paper to last for ever (100 years or so) it has to be acid free. the pad should indicate if its acid free and archival quality. Otherwise you would need to store it in a location where there is no air. Our air is what damages paper and causes it to yellow and harden with time. Therefore paper that is not acid free / archival quality should be stored in a vacumm container to preserve it. Consider storing it in a sealed acid free vellum envelope.

May depend on the brand and what you're doing on the paper. It also depends on the weight and tooth of the paper. Heavyweight (thick) paper can take more grinding and media. Thinner paper will crinkle and what not. If you keep your drawing in a coverslip sheet or portfolio it should last a while.

Until you use it all is the easiest answer but if your talking longevity as long as it's acid free it will outlast you.
