Review on ๐ŸŽจ ArtBin 6838AG Sketch Board: Portable Drawing Surface with Built-in Art & Craft Storage, in Grey by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The photo looks nice but unusable.

So after reading the reviews I bought it anyway. Was hoping it was just a few of them with a casting error and maybe they are. But I had a dimple on the outer work surface and the inner work surface. After speaking to Kristen at Artbin, she didn't seem to care or think that a countertop dimple should be a problem. She also informed me that the inner clip is not for holding the paper while drawing, just for holding the paper, so that's not a problem either. I can't believe a company makes a product like this. Nice pencil case, unfortunately not suitable as a drawing pad. Since it's plastic, it would have held up to water colors as well. Very unfortunate they didn't supply unformed artboard, anodized aluminum, plastic sheeting? At least Revain got my money back. So I went and bought a $10 plastic cutting board. Very nice plastic smooth surface, you can draw on it or paint with watercolors. Great, just pop it in my backpack with my supplies and you're good to go. And cheaper than this POS.

Disappointed. Still need to carry a separate supply case.
