Awesome Sketch Books

Great little sketch books if you are starting out on drawing. And with the hard covers you can customize it to your liking.

Pros
  • Buen soporte para lรกpiz y tinta
Cons
  • Poor quality

They have placed a large sticker on each sketch book that tells you details of the sketch book. Even if you remove it slowly it peals the cover off and instantly ruins the Beaty of the sketch book.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • May not be suitable for creating rough drafts or sketches

Binding doesn't last long.

I was excited to try out some new notebooks. I like the wide pages and the paper quality. However, the binding is already coming apart. I've been using this notebook daily for most of February as a journal and it is definitely not holding up. I'll have to use some duct tape to hold it together so it's not a complete loss.

Pros
  • โค๏ธ
Cons
  • The binding immediately broke, and I had to return them.

these are my go to sketch books

I love these. they last, they are such a great size for me. I like the quality of the paper. I like the sturdiness of the covers. I can take them on trips. I have filled 5 or 6 since 2013.

Pros
  • Acid-free paper ensures that the pages won't yellow over time
Cons
  • May not provide enough space for extensive note-taking or annotations

Weak spine, good sketchbook

The spine is wearable. And when brand new the pages don't turn easily. Otherwise this is a good sketchbook I'd recommend for the price it's at.

Pros
  • I got these for my son, who likes to draw. He seems to like them.
Cons
  • May not be environmentally friendly

Binding seems weak on my review.

I've bought different brands through-out my life. On these the binding wiggles and feels very weak. But since I cover bind these with leather, it's not an issue in my case. Should be nicely adequate.

Pros
  • Includes 3 sketch books in one pack for maximum value
Cons
  • Pages may be too stiff or rigid for certain techniques

Great but sticker ripped the front cover

Great for drawing and love that it is hard backed but when i took off the sticker on the front part of the front ripped off. Hardcover may not protect pages from moisture or spills.

Pros
  • Hardcover sketchbooks
Cons
  • Hardcover may not protect pages from moisture or spills

Bad Stitching Pages Barely in Cover

The size is perfect but the quality leaves a lot to be desired.It is not a Cost Value if the pages are not stitched correctly into the cover.

Pros
  • Can be used by students or professionals alike
Cons
  • May not be practical for quick sketches or doodles

Perfect for markers!

Very nice weight paper, my son is able to use his comic book markers without bleeding through the paper! Very sturdy binding, very heavy cover. He loves these!

Pros
  • I completely recommend this to anyone. It is so sturdy and well made. It is great for travel.
Cons
  • Hardcover may not bend or conform to certain positions

Pros
  • Just the thing for those quick sketches and drawings, in the studio or in the field.
Cons
  • Hardcover may warp or bend in extreme temperatures

Gets a star for having blank paper inside, that's about it

I never leave Best Buy reviews, but this one frustrated me so much that I'm not only leaving a review, I'm attaching photos. I ordered a three-pack of these small hardbound sketch books. One for my desk, for my bag, for my nightstand. I got a two-pack of a larger size of the same brand. The sticker labels were a triangle in the lower right corner of the cover, pretty standard. The larger books, the labels came off fine. The smaller books, not so much. The label did not remove freely. And if itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The perfect size for quick sketches, doodles, or taking notes
Cons
  • Pages may not have enough tooth for creating texture

only received 1 not 2 as listed

There is no solution on here to get the 2nd one sent when I only received one. Paper inside is nice quality but first and last pages were bent and folded and ripped.

Pros
  • Good sturdy artist books
Cons
  • Graphite may smudge or smear on pages

Was a really good sketchbook overall

Itโ€™s was a good thick sketchbook and it was a pretty good price, this is so much better then paying the same price for one at Walmart that just isnโ€™t as good.

Pros
  • Easy to transport itโ€™s Easy to put in a bag in carry with you everywhere
Cons
  • Its decent paper. However the hard covers rip easy.

Good to travel with. Perfect size to put in a small bag.

Small enough to put in a bag like a backpack or somethin, makes more space in a bag, perfect for putting stickers on, good for smaller sketches, paper is a little more thinner than i thought it was gonna be but still pretty decent :)

Pros
  • My 9 year old niece is in love. Heavy duty, and perfect. Had it out drawing before I knew it
Cons
  • Pens may bleed through pages

I bought these on accident one drunken night, and glad I dis! If you like to draw or doodle this is a nice way to have a little self portfolio

Pros
  • Makes a great gift for artists of all skill levels
Cons
  • Binding may not be strong enough to prevent pages from falling out

Great for travel good for me

I got these, one for my book back, one for the office. Love the small size. I can pull the sketch book out when I get bored in public.

Pros
  • Lightweight design makes it easy to pack in a bag or backpack
Cons
  • Hardcover may make sketch book less portable or convenient
