Review on CONDA 9x12 Black Paper Sketchbook - 40 Sheets (90lb/150gsm) - Double-Sided 📒 Spiral Sketch Pad - Durable Acid-Free Black Drawing Paper for Drawing and Painting by Kim Sanchez

Sometimes sketchbooks are a bit flimsy and difficult to work with. I have to say that this pillow came as a surprise to me. Just take a look. HOW IT WORKS It's wrapped in plastic (mine at least) and spiral bound. The cover is thin but the back is solid and solid. PAPER QUALITY The quality of this paper is quite good. It's a smooth surface, so you won't get a lot of teeth here. SURFACE It is a smooth and matte surface, therefore it absorbs most of the light, although it reflects a little. as long as I didn't spill a lot on it, it warped a bit, but that's not a big deal. GEL pens This is ideal for gel pens. That means you can take the watercolor, put it in the indentation of the pen and write with a thin line. I did it on this paper too with great results. It dried fairly quickly but still gave it some time to work before it dried. PHOTOSI has made for you some photos of different materials that I took on this paper. I made pastels, metallic pastels, watercolor patterns (metallic) and also drew lines with a pen. I believe that gel pens are pretty easy to use on this paper, so you will want to see other mediums that you may not be familiar with on this paper. The size is good and gives me plenty of room to play and explore with sketches. He took watercolor well, a crayon and pastels quite well, although she had no teeth to grasp. MY RATING IS FIVE STARS. This is a great sketchbook and I plan to use it often as I explore different materials and design pens. It's not necessary for the finished artwork, but I can do tricky things with it and also practice a lot.
