Review on Articka Note 8x8 Inch Square Sketchbook - Spiral Bound Hardcover Hardbound Sketch Journal - 120 Pages - Elastic Closure - 180GSM Acid-Free Paper - Ideal for Pencils, Graphite, Charcoal, Pen by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ideal for drawing with pen and pencil.

Nice little sketchbook. An affordable option given the page count and binding quality. The paper is incredibly smooth and has virtually no curl, making it great for drawing with ink pens.* The only downside I found was that the paper didn't pick up liquid/gel material without tearing. I tried watercolors and gouache, but both thinned the paper so much that it became extremely brittle. Too bad because it's just the right size for city sketches/drawings. I would recommend it for its value as a quality pen/pencil drawing book.

Pros
  • Art paper
Cons
  • Crumpled
