Great review of this and a million other artbooks at parkablogs.com. I have reviewed many books and love the durability and quality of this mixed media book.

    • Sketchbooks and Drawing Pads

    • Slightly Crumpled

    The best sketchbook for its versatility

    Where to start? This notebook embodies and exceeds my idea of a notebook. The versatility allows me to use every damn tool in my bag. This in turn frees me and limits me. I can confidently handle multiliners and brush pens. Because the paper is hot pressed, the watercolor paint is clean and crisp. It can even work with bright acrylic paints! (Though, for obvious reasons, you'll have to prod it with a book opener to dry it.) Quality also affects how casually I work on this sketchbook, it allows…
