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

Handy size. Good quality paper, although when I use it with Sharpie markers there is slight bleed through. I think 70 lb paper might be more appropriate for those markers... this is 65 lb. I love the micro-perforations which make tearing out individual pages easy and not messy (no spiral-binding tear-off pieces all over the place). One potential downside for some buyers might be the barcode stickers stuck on the front cover - these cant be removed without tearing the cover surface. The price was GREAT though, and more than makes up for that downside, in my opinion!

Its not a regular sized sketch book, bit its not super small. Its great fir takong on the go. I purchased for my son whos 9 and he adores it.

Perfect size for a carry around sketch book. I carry it everywhere so whenever I get a chance I can make a quick sketch. Nice paper, thick but not too thick. Only problem I had was with shading, if I put a lot of shading in a sketch and closed the sketch book the pencil would transfer to the back page. Overall a good sketchbook.

Great sketch book for children.

Good paper.

Such a nice sketchbook! Really easy to take around.

arrived on time and it was just what i needed to make my drawings! the notebook is just great! love it.

Love the quality of this sketch book!

Beyond my expectations. Highly recommended

Ive been using this to sketch out ideas for digital designs, and it works well. At 65lb its light, but not too light. Perfect for sketching. Stands up to erasers and does not transfer pencil indentations. The paper also scans well, if you have the need. The wire binding allows it to be laid flat, and the perforation allows the paper to be fairly easily removed if you so desire. Though, I will say that I felt the need to go over the perforation with a knife before removing. Just in case. If you are looking for an affordable, but solid sketch pad, this fits the bill.
