It depends on your preference, but smooth, heavyweight paper is generally recommended for pencil drawing. It's a good idea to try different types of paper to see what works best for you.

Smooth, heavyweight paper like Bristol board or illustration board is great for pencil drawings. It provides a smooth surface for detailed work and prevents the paper from buckling when you apply pressure.
