Copics, Prismacolor (I think that is the name) colored pencils and Zig Watercolor brush markers.
I know this has probably been asked a million times, I just googled best paper for (and put the item) and I really didn't get much.
Thanks peas!!

I do not have experience with all those mediums, (only Copic) but I am pretty sure "the best" would require different a type of paper for each of them. I recently watched Jennifer McGuire's favorite things videos and I think she said why she liked each type of paper. Paper and adhesive |

Nina Solar White is one that Jennifer McGuire uses a lot. I got some too and I like it a lot. It holds up really well.

Neenah 80 or 110 LB Solar White for Copics and Ranger Watercolor paper for your Zig Brush markers - I think Kristina Werner uses Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper for watercoloring too but I haven't personally tried that one.

I tend to get confused with this stuff too. I took a class for Spectrum Noir markers (which are also alcohol based) and really liked the paper they sell. It's Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir ultra smooth. I've bought watercolor paper for use with anything waterbased and results differ based on the grain of the paper. I'm still trying to find what I like here. But I think the only conclusion I've ever really made is the more expensive/higher quality paper is better! Here is some info from their site that may help you: www.spectrumnoir.com/coloring-and-paper-faq/ |

hi erica8! Looks lie a lot of awesome advice here. Thanks for asking the question! I am not a colorist. But friends who DO use a lot of copics have strongly recommended Neenah paper for those. |
