Review on πŸ“ Strathmore Gray Drawing Sketch Pad, 400 Series, Toned Paper, 5.5x8.5 inches, 50 Sheets by Jess Gunderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Thin paper, great for trying out new media

At $7.50, this isn't a price I regret. This book is small but if you're a practicing artist it would be nice to have 50 sheets so you know you're allowed to make mistakes and it won't cost you an arm and a leg even though the pages are pretty thin. I have no issues with my pencil hardness showing on the next page if I press too hard, but it's a very brittle piece of paper, it's not cardstock at all, so bear in mind I've also noticed some inconsistencies since the texture only goes when i make pencil marks as if i'm writing on the previous page, but i haven't done it, for me this issue is not a make or break issue and i would say it generally isn't bad deal for the price you pay

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
