Great sketchbook

I got myself a sketchbook to start with and fill it enthusiastically with drawings. The XL brand is known as a big brand for sketchbooks. I also think this is the best and I LOVE my new sketchbook. Constant Problems/Cons: I was known as the person who always had a sketchbook. Since I'm constantly drawing and posting on my DeviantArt. One of the main consequences of such a large sketchbook is trying to travel with it. Which was certainly to be expected. Another disadvantage is that the metal spiral device has to be constantly adjusted to keep the paper from falling. Same problem as with my last XL sketchbook. Positive ^.^: First of all, what I love most about this sketchbook is that it's made of paper. The paper is just right for me. Neither fat nor thin. Paper is in the goldilocks zone for me. I also think that the XL brand made a good choice as it is paperless. 30 pages is definitely enough (don't get greedy) as I make detailed ink drawings of anything I can draw. Another positive thing about a sketchbook is when you use painting materials that don't spread too much. I use copics that bleed. Luckily they are not bleeding as much as I expected. Downsizing also comes with something extremely positive. SPACE. When I draw in a full-size album, I usually have to bend down and squint. With this sketchbook I can make drawings of any size I want, usually they are quite big. Now I don't have to blink anymore, I can just think big. All in all, this is a great sketchbook. Stop looking at this review and buy it. It will be worth your time.
