"I've been working on Mellotex (formerly Ivorex) for over 30 years and in that time I've never found an equal." MIKE SIBLEY
 
If you detest the texture of your paper interfering with what you are trying to depict, you'll love Mellotex. Mellotex is a double-sided plate-finish paper with virtually no detectable surface texture. It's tough! You can crisply indent Mellotex, and erase almost endlessly without destroying the surface. It's very smooth! Although very dark tones will need to be applied with some pressure, you can gently lay down a light tone that will blend or layer to produce seamless skin tones and faultless skies.
