I prefer smooth, thick paper as well, which is why I used card stock the first time(my main medium is pen/ink). I wanted to be able to use a bit of watercolor and ink washes in my sketchbook though, and card stock doesn't hold up well with those mediums, despite its thickness. Also, a lot of the card stock I've seen has this strange... shininess to it? It's also hard to find it in ivory or cream colors, which are warmer and easy on my eyes.
​
That being said, I still have no problem using it. I've just been on the quest for/fantasizing about the perfect paper for so long(such is the life of an artist). Ideally, it would be something similar to Moleskine's paper, since it is the perfect color, soft, smooth texture, not too thick but thick enough to not show through, and somehow still supports wet media without much of an issue at all.
​
I found out that it is 120gsm FSC paper in ivory, and I think that yesterday I finally found a match. It's pretty cheap, too($6.32/100 sheets), and I can't wait to try it soon.

Crescent rendr sketchbook, completely bleed proof, watercolors, spray paint, you name it. It's great and cheap. Like 12 bucks on Amazon.

Peter Draws has a really cool video of this sketch book, he uses a lot of ink in it so if your skeptical just check that out.
ive used many different metallic pens, one brand im currently obsessed with are these. they don't smudge easily, they're opaque, and they're cheap. i actually originally bought them from wish, loved them so much i bought again from amazon. if you look into the brand you might be able to find more colors, but these are fine for what i do regularly.
I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077SML6N5/
It's cheap, and has 112 sheets of 350gsm paper. A5 size. Lies flat when open.
I haven't tried water color on it, but it takes pen and pencil just fine, and my wettest fountain pen inks show no feathering or bleed through. It's great.
Thank you! I finished over the course of a few days. Shading isn't bad if you have the right tools
