Review on Artway Studio Hardcover Sketch Book - 11" X 14" - 170Gsm / 105Lb Drawing Paper (92 Page Sketchbook) by Corey Bigglesworth

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wibalin cloth is actually paper.

I love the size and page thickness but I was more than disappointed to find out the "wibalin cloth” it’s covered with is not cloth, it’s a type of paper. This would’ve been just fine but I tried personalizing this book for Father’s Day using heat transfer vinyl (which you use on cloth) and it not only completely ruined the cover, it started smoking because of the high heat! If this had been properly labeled as "wibalin paper” (which if you google it, all wibalin comes up as a type of paper) I wouldn’t have ruined my book and almost burned my house down. I will say the paper has a cloth-like feel which is why I didn’t think twice to look it up before trying to apply the vinyl.

Pros
  • Way beyond what I was expecting! It’s huge and the quality is A1! Will be buying several more
Cons
  • With 92 pages, this sketchbook is designed to last for a reasonably long time, but it can be frustrating if you want to replace it more frequently to experiment with different papers or styles
