Canson 100510850 Pro-Art Artist Series Universal Sketch Pad, 5.5 x 8.5 Side Wire

It was a gift for the niece. She seems happy...

Best for sketching as well as water colors

Soft and holds color pencils and pencils very well. I would 100% recommend this. Marker does bleed through though so Id recommend a different paper for markers.

gift

I love this sketchbook so much! The paper is a nice quality and ink does not bleed through to the next page!!

Havent used it much, but so far is working great. I have been using lined paper and this is better.

Was a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. She seems to love it, and says the quality of the paper is great for sketching. Im obviously no professional, so rating 5/5 based on her liking it + saying it worked well for her artwork.

I bought the wrong size :c But its still a nice sketchbook. DONT BE LIKE ME. CHECK YOUR CART.

I love this little notebook. Its easy to carry and I can use it anywhere. The paper is just the right weight and I love the texture of the pages.

Im now at a point in my life where I have more time than before. I can finally pursue my love of the visual arts. Ive always loved pen and ink with watercolor washes. It always amazes me how a court reporter artist can capture the essence of a situation within just a few minutes. While I dont expect to reach that level of skill, I enjoy taking this sketchbook with me and capturing thoughts, ideas, motifs. Combine this with a Sakura Pigma Micron Black pen set and a Sakura Pigma Color Brush pen set and Im ready to take on those sketches. Some things that set this product apart from other sketchbooks: * First, it costs less than a lot of other sketchbooks. Always a good thing. * Second, it has more pages than many other sketchbooks. * Third, using my Sakura pens, I dont have any bleed through to the next page. * Fourth, the paper is micro-perforated. This allows you to quickly and neatly remove pages. * Fifth, the paper is acid-free. While it might not be archival quality it should last longer. * Finally, its not just a cute size, its VERY portable. As I said, I take it everywhere. So, I recommend this sketchbook. Your bank account will thank you as well.
