Artists Sketchbook Hardcover 200GSM Very Thick Paper Large Spiral Sketch Book for Drawing and Mixed Media Sketch Pad

High quality smooth paper that is good for mixed media (I used pencil, pen, acrylic marker, and watercolor.) Paper is thick enough that the pen and markers don’t bleed through. Only criticism is for some reason the pencil doesn’t erase as completely as other sketchbooks I’ve had do. Paper is strong; while water does warp it, I was able to do several passes with my wet brush with no degradation or ‘pilling’ of the paper. The attached photo is what I mean when I say the water warps the paper. This is the back of the page after applying many layers of watercolor to the front Overall great sketchbook for the price. Will be buying again. Read more

This sketchbook came in super quick and the paper is good, thick quality. I strive to find sketchbooks that have thicker paper for media that bleeds easy and this paper does not bleed through. It has a good amount of pages and it is large enough to give me room to sketch but small enough it's easy to carry around. I love drawing on this paper. It is a great price and I would recommend it to everybody who needs a low cost but high quality sketchbook. Read more

Absolutely love it. The spiral spine makes it very portable and not taking up a lot of room because instead of having to unfold the entire two pages, you see one at a time and it doesn't break down as easy as hard-spined sketchbooks do. Easy to use, just pull it out any time and it is perfect size. My colors, whether it be markers or watercolor, come out perfectly. Worth the money, the paper doesn't bleed, and when you're drawing on it, it has a nice, textured paper that personally helps my abilities to form my shapes. Drawability: 5/5 Read more

This is an absolutely beautiful SketchBook. I love the hard bound back and front. It helps it to be sturdy and long-lasting. The pages are great! Very thick at 90 lb. Perfect for all sorts of mediums! And a great value for the money. Super affordable. Read more

As a self-taught artist, I really like this sketchbook and think it's good quality. Yes it's a little more expensive than others you might find, but it's worth the price. So far I've only used graphite pencils and some pens on it. The pens don't really bleed through (there is very slight bleed if you look closely but it's not a problem), and pencils don't leave too much of a mark after being erased. It's a good size, so great for multiple drawings, although it's not the easiest to carry around (you'd need a decent sized bag to fit it in). Overall I'm very happy with it! Read more

I like it so far, I love that you can draw on the cover. When I first opened it though, I didn’t realize it only had 40 pages, so I was a bit disappointed. However, the paper quite nice and thick even though I haven’t used it yet. Very sturdy cover and easy to use. Read more

I'm using this sketchbook for a lot of different reasons but I have been doing art, drawing and sketching, painting, etc since I was in high school and I am 49 years old now. This high quality paper and is perfect for many different types of mediums. I am using graphite and charcoal and Penn currently and it's been great. Absolutely love it and I love the black cover because I was able to design my front with the right colored pencils! Read more

This is my third purchase of this item. I think the quality for the price is exceptional. So far, I have only used with ink, colored pencils, and markers. The markers (Sharpie extra fine) bled through but for ink work, I love the smoothness of the paper. My usual watercolor journals are no longer available, so I will try these out with wet media and see how they do. I would definitely recommend Read more
