Review on πŸ“” Pentalic Illustrators Sketchbook 8x5 Espresso: A Versatile Artist Essential for Capturing Creativity by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ideal for on the go

This sketchbook is ideal for on the go. The elastic band keeps the book in place and the pouch is great for storing small notes and notes. The hard cover keeps the pages perfectly straight and when the spine is curved the pages lie flat. A smooth tooth will add smoothness and smoothness to the pattern. However. This sketchbook is for sketching only. The paper is quite light, so the designs on the previous and next pages show through the paper. The pressure of a ballpoint pen or pencil often results in graphite abrasion marks, which cause the graphite on the previous pages to "copy” itself onto the opposite page. Also, the pages are difficult to remove without damaging the entire book. In short: I highly recommend this travel sketchbook, but I urge you not to draw page by page and use this book for sketching only. Sketch Scan Tip: Unless you've drawn on both sides of the page you can use an extra sheet or two of white paper to hide the "shadow" of the patterns on the following pages.

Pros
  • pocket sketch
Cons
  • old
