Review on πŸ“’ Strathmore 400 Series Recycled Sketch Pad, 14x17 Wire-Bound Notebook with 100 Sheets by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Always my first choice for sketchbooks

I've received many different brands of sketch paper as gifts or bought them because they seemed like a good deal at the time, but I've never been with them another sketchbook as content as the Strathmore album. Better quality paper than most other sketchbooks I've come across and leaves me in no doubt as to why every art teacher I've ever had requested a Strathmore as the class standard. I personally prefer recycled sketch paper, but have not used recycled sketch paper and noticed no difference in quality. It just comes down to personal preference. This paper requires a lot more abuse than regular sketch paper. It smudges less when used with markers (depending on the type of marker of course), is more resistant to erasing and (my biggest pain) the pencil hardly smudges (almost completely in my experience) like other sketchpads. I would 100% recommend this product to anyone regardless of artistic ability. Can't love it enough regardless of level of knowledge. Can't love it enough regardless of level of knowledge.
