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

Good as a practice sketch pad for pencils and charcoal and okay for a little ink sketching. It is only 65-lb. weighted paper (Id recommend 80-lb. or greater for more in-depth drawing; 65-lb. isnt thick enough for extensive drawing, erasing, and blending). This is perforated, which is fantastic. (You can tear your sketches out neatly. I always tear the paper trying to take out a sheet of non-perforated paper.)

I got the half-letter size pad to carry with me in my bag, for random Eureka! moments. This is perfect for chicken scratches and quick notes. The paperweight is decent--definitely beats copy paper, and there are plenty of pages for me to fly through. Very happy with the purchase, and will definitely buy more!

Good Experience

I purchased this as a gift for Christmas for our son-in-law, who is a fabulous artist, tatoos being his favorite thing to draw, but I have seen him draw wonderful pictures of his kids, which would be my favorite thing he draws. He was happy with this sketch pad. The pages feel nice and it is a nice weight of paper. His drawing would mostly be in pencils, but he also uses some gel pens, when he is getting more into designing. This works perfectly for his needs and I would purchase this again. Im very happy with it. The pages are perforated so they can be removed tidily and the paper feels very nice and workable with good erasure, when necessary. Very nice and perfect for his needs.

Even for simple sketching this paper is a bit thin and not sturdy enough for my liking. It is definitely not high-quality paper. Wouldn’t recommend it for “serious” artistic use. Good enough for amateur artists like myself though.

Good for drawing yoai
