Review on πŸ“” Pentalic Hardbound Sketch Book - 8.5x11 Inch Format by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect size, paper and hard cover

Excellent! Ever since I was a teenager, I've been going through album after album trying to find what "fits" me. Most were too large or the paper was too rough, too dirty, or spiral bound, which is a nightmare when you're carrying a book in your backpack. I discovered it in my sophomore year and fell in love instantly. 8 x 5.5 inches is a good size for my sketches, and the paper works great for a typical HB neck. For drawing I use Sakura Micron pens, feathers are not visible. I also use gray copies which look great in a nice solid color with a piece of note paper under the page I'm working on because it bleeds a bit, but that's pretty normal for anything under Β£90. I have completed 6 of these sketchbooks. and just ordered two online because the only store that sells them in my area sold out the last two times I checked in. A little more expensive than what my art store sells them for, but I think that's ok since I temporarily used a backup sketchbook that isn't the best. When I bought my very first wallet (aged 22 haha) my only specification was that it fit in my sketchbook which is a pretty standard wallet size. The only way I can get less than 5 stars is if Revane sends me the wrong item again.

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Doubtful

Great for sketching in watercolor/mixed media
