Can you ink on it without it warping (same for copic markers and water colors, too)?

You absolutely can ink on Bristol (Smooth & Vellum) without it soaking through or warping. I've even used acrylic paints on this paper. Even though it tended to buckle somewhat while wet, this paper will flatten back out when completely dry. I'm confident that if this paper can handle acrylic paints, it can also handle watercolors, gouache, and copic markers. No, I didn't stretch or size this paper before using acrylic paints on it.

are you supposed to draw on it like the way it's showed on the pic? Because it looks sideways?

No it has a layout in no photo blue. It is a comic pro setup so it's twice the size of s comic book with proper lines on each page. It can be sideways but it is an up and down setup like true comic Bristol. So you can use it either way. Also if you like you can use the black back if you are not looking to draw comics

Pages, not Covers.

Just received. In perfect condition. This IS the lined-for-paged model, not the covers one from the picture (which is what I wanted!). Glad I ordered.

Great Paper

Loved this paper, feels great with pencils and inks. I haven't tried markers yet, but it's good quality, and for my first comic board paper I was chuffed.

Gutes Produkt - Lieferung im beschädigten Zustand

Aufgrund von Empfehlungen habe ich mir den Strathmore STR-25-611 Block gekauft für meine Projekte, da es wohl ein beliebtes Papier ist. Selbst ausprobiert habe ich es noch nicht und möchte daher keine eigenen Erfahrungen hierzu schreiben - vielleicht in einer späteren Rezension. Richtig sauer war ich wegen des Zustands, in dem der Block, der doch recht teuer ist, bei mir ankam, siehe Bilder. Da sind erhebliche Beschädigungen aufgetreten. Das ist mit Sicherheit während der Lieferung geschehen, da der Block lediglich in einer Plastikfolientasche geliefert wurde und nicht in einer steifen Kartonhülle, die mit Sicherheit das Produkt besser vor Lieferschäden geschützt hätte. Deswegen gibt es drei Sterne Abzug. Es ist teures Papier, das für Reinzeichnungen genutzt werden soll, also für ein Endprodukt, in das viel Zeit investiert wird. Da will man keine Knicke oder Beschädigungen haben, selbst wenn diese nur am Rand sind.

Great beginners Bristol paper

The surface is incredibly smooth, making it ideal for pen and ink work. The blue lines are a helpful guide for layouts, and the 11x17 size offers plenty of space for large illustrations.
