I want to buy a pad of "nice" paper for someone that is getting back into drawing portraits after a 40 year sabbatical.
This is all I know....they use pencil (a combination of hard for the rough outline, and soft ones for shading)...and they like to do them sort of large - thats all I was able to get out of him details wise {he mentioned that he was thinking about getting back into it while he is recovering from cancer - he hasn't done it since he was in highschool} - anyhow.....
I bought 14x17 inch 90 pound Medium tooth paper in "classic cream" (which if you ask me, looked very much like the white - but I'm no expert on the topic, ha ha)
Is this suitable for this application? or do you have another suggestion?
I was going to pair it with a picture frame and matt as a Xmas gift for someone who is literally impossible to shop for....
Thanks everyone - all input greatly appreciated.

I know - I should have asked before I bought it - but I didn't think of that when I was passing by an arts supply store, ha ha
