Review on ๐Ÿ“š Stillman & Birn Alpha Series Hardbound Sketchbook Review: 9"x6", 150gsm Heavyweight White Paper โ€“ Best Medium Grain Surface for Artists by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It depends on what you want to use it for.

S&B is a good magazine. This is a good quality book and there are so many varieties out there that trying them out to see what works best would be a huge hit. This is ideal for pencil and ballpoint pen. I mainly use fountain pens and watercolors. although you can do light watercolor washes in this one - it flexes and is not suitable for watercolor. I would love to try one of their real watercolor magazines next time. The only problem is that it will be difficult for them to compete in price with the Pentel magazine in my book.

Pros
  • HIGHEST QUALITY. Exceptional features make Stillman & Birn albums a popular choice for artists of all levels.
Cons
  • Some mistakes
