Good drawings start with the right surface. Different projects need different media. Vellum behaves differently than tracing paper. Marker paper handles ink differently than bond paper. Choosing the right surface can make drafting, sketching, printing, and presentation work much easier.

Drafting Paper & Drawing Media
The wrong surface fights your pencil, bleeds your ink, or falls apart the moment you erase. The right one disappears underneath the work. We’ve been thinking about that difference for a long time.
DEW built its reputation on technical drawing media. We know drafting vellum the way most suppliers know copy paper: the weight differences, the tooth, which grades hold up under technical pens versus lead, which rolls work with large format printers and which ones don’t. Brands like Clearprint and Dietzgen have been part of what we carry since the beginning, and our team has used this stuff on actual drawings, not just stocked it on a shelf.
Over the years we have expanded that same approach into drawing and illustration papers. Sketchbooks, bristol, charcoal and pastel paper, marker paper, mixed media. The selection has grown because the people who draw by hand, whether professionally or purely for the enjoyment of it, deserve a source that takes the material seriously.
What you will find in this category runs from highly technical to purely expressive. On the drafting side, that means vellum sheets and rolls, mylar drafting film, layout bond, graph and grid papers, and large format CAD and inkjet media for plotters. On the drawing and illustration side, you’ll find sketch pads and sketchbooks, tracing paper, bristol boards, newsprint, charcoal and pastel paper, watercolor paper, and mixed media surfaces. In between there’s tracing paper that serves both worlds, presentation and mounting boards, foam boards, and specialty films and barrier papers for protection and overlays.
If you’re a drafter or engineer who has always bought vellum here and never explored the rest of the section, it’s worth a look. And if you’re an artist or illustrator finding us for the first time, know that this isn’t a general art store that happens to carry a few rolls of tracing paper. The depth here is real.
Fast shipping, real product knowledge, and a team you can actually call with questions. Same as it’s always been.
