What the SuFly Tracing Paper (100 Sheets) is

SuFly Tracing Paper is a pack of 100 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of translucent vellum. Each sheet is 38 lb (60gsm), acid-free and translucent, so you can see a drawing or image underneath.

The listing suggests it for sketching, layering, overlaying, correcting and transferring designs. It says the paper takes pencil, ink and markers, and that its smooth surface allows crisp lines.

Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

  • 100 sheets of translucent vellum

    Plenty of sheets for tracing, layering and corrections.

  • 38 lb (60gsm) weight

    Thin enough to see lines through, and SuFly says the sheets are made not to tear or curl easily.

  • Takes pencil, ink and markers

    The listing says the smooth surface allows crisp lines, so you can ink a clean version over a rough sketch.

  • Acid-free

    The paper is acid-free, which helps traced drawings and overlays keep from yellowing in storage.

  • Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches

    Standard letter-size sheets.

  • Uses beyond drawing

    The listing also suggests it for rubber stamping, overlays and other paper crafts.

Who the SuFly Tracing Paper (100 Sheets) suits

  • Artists transferring sketches. Trace your rough drawing, then transfer the clean lines to watercolor or Bristol paper.
  • Illustrators and designers. Layer overlays to test changes to a composition without touching the original.
  • Kids and beginners learning to draw. Tracing over images is an easy way to practice shapes and line control.

Look elsewhere if: you want a bound book of sketch paper for finished sketches. The Strathmore 400 Sketch Pad 11 x 14 has 100 wire-bound sheets.

Before you buy

  • These are sheets, not a bound pad, so keep them in a folder or clip them to a board while you work.
  • The listing gives the weight as 38 lb (60gsm). It does not rate the paper for wet media.
  • For a graphite transfer, shade the back of your tracing with a soft pencil, then retrace the lines on top of your good paper.
