Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great rug for my purposes!

As a student, I like to organize and transcribe my notes on nice, clean, orderly worksheets using colored and black gel pens (G2, if that matters). I can't do that on regular printing paper because it's so thin that the ink just bleeds through, and printing paper is thin so it's not as comfortable to constantly look at or endure repeated touches while browsing. At the same time, I don't want to use my nice thick drawing paper or notepads because it seems wasteful and very expensive. Enter solution: this notepad. It's only $10 for really big, thick (enough) pages to fill your heart with gel pen notes, make Krebs cycle diagrams, or organize virus families in trees. I don't have to feel guilty because I use super high quality and expensive art supplies and also have decent paper which is great for my purposes. Will I use this for my final artwork? no Will I use this for artwork I want to keep? Probably no. BUT for doodling, rough sketches and general practice or if you are a beginner and quick to sketch and burn sketchbooks this works great and cheap!

Pros
  • Art Paper
Cons
  • Requires a power outlet
