Cold Press Surface Built for Layering: Crescent's cold press illustration board has just enough tooth to grip coloured pencil pigment for smooth layering and deep blending. Unlike smooth hot press boards, the slight texture gives graphite, oil pastel and coloured pencil the resistance needed for controlled mark-making. Ideal for detailed illustration, technical drawing and portraiture.
Medium Weight, Rigid Construction: The buffered, pH-neutral board is firm enough to draw on without any backing support. Lighter than museum board but far more rigid than drawing paper, making it practical for both studio work and plein air sketching. Acid-free construction prevents yellowing over time.
Works With: Prismacolor, Faber-Castell and Derwent coloured pencils; graphite pencils up to 6B; oil pastels; Copic and water-based markers at light pressure; technical drawing pens and fineliner ink. The buffered surface holds multiple layers without fibre lift.
Professional-Grade Art Board, Trusted Since 1893: Crescent boards are used in professional illustration studios, commercial art departments and art education programmes across North America. The same board quality used by working artists, now available in a 3-pack for students, educators and freelance illustrators.
3 Boards Per Pack, 16 x 20 Inches: Each pack contains 3 full illustration boards. Suitable for framing in standard 12x16 frames with or without a mat. Perfect for individual portfolio pieces, class assignments and gallery-ready finished work.
