Review on Art Alternatives Sketches in the Making Very Big Hardcover Sketchbook: Giant Black Sketchbook with 600 Pages (300 Sheets) by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this sketchbook

Wife received it as a gift. When you receive it, the most notable aspect of the sketchbook is its size; it's huge! I usually carry it with both hands to avoid hurting my spine. In terms of page quality I've used all of my ink brushes from Kuretake, Pentel, Zebra Brush, Micron Ink Pens and many more and these pages are holding up great. The only thing I haven't tried yet is Sumie ink drawings and I haven't tried Indian or Chinese ink on the pages yet but I'm sure they will last. What I draw ranges from anatomy, cars to random cartoon illustrations. I tend to rummage through my sketchbooks with sketches and exercises I call "art space," so I'm rough with my pages. You can't be too rough on the quality of the sheets in this sketchbook. Turning the page is like looking at a new book. Things do not shine through and are barely perceptible. I recommend it to anyone who is an avid illustrator or draftsman, or if you want to impress that artist in your life, this makes a fantastic gift. My wife gave me a random set of random stickers, and one of those stickers was Gundam's wings. I saved this sticker for a special sketchbook and couldn't resist taking this sticker and placing it in the center of the cover of this giant sketchbook. i really like it I call this sketchbook "Frank".

Pros
  • Notebooks and drawing pads
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
