About Drawing and sketching paper

For drawing and sketching paper, it is important to know which techniques will be used on the paper. For example, smooth paper works well for creating clean lines. When working with colour and/or graphite pencils, having a bit of structure on the paper is recommended. This allows pigments to remain in the small dimples present on the paper. 

What is the difference between sketching paper and drawing paper?

The difference between sketching paper and drawing paper is that sketching paper is often lightweight and intended for sketching and experimenting. Drawing paper is of higher quality and is usually heavier than sketching paper. It is used to create works that need to be preserved for a long time.
