Works great, but hardly differs from other character blocks.

I really liked the structure of the surface and the color (white). This is a durable paper that can withstand heavy use if you need to wash or polish over and over again. But to be honest I didn't see any difference between this and many of my other multimedia sketchpads with the same paper weight. I'm new to working with crayons so maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why they call it "crayon notepad".

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Not smooth enough for me and too small

Paper is not good for colored pencils in my opinion because it is not very smooth everything I draw has loads of "white space" like that that the color feels lighter not lighter, I think it will work for layering many colors but I bought another smoother paper afterwards because this one is too rough (or rough?) for me. I also made a mistake buying this size because it is too small. After that I bought 9x12 inches. You can check my giggle drawing, it's fine but it contains "white space" due to…

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled

This paper surprised me because I found it very bad but in the end I liked it really liked it. It is important to remember that this paper does not work with solvents. An artist on YouTube reviewed this paper and the artist was very dissatisfied. The artist tried to mix the crayons with thinner, but the paper ended up deforming a lot, and the worst thing was that the paper didn't come out completely flat. So if you want to use thinners, try mixed media (or hot-pressed watercolor paper)…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Piggy bank price
