Krafty Soft Cover Blank Notebook Journal, Spiral Sketchbook Pad, Drawing Book, 60 Sheets/140gsm (A4)/120 Pages

I didn't expect much and I got it mostly to sketch in, however I don't recommend it if you plan on using it for illustrations. The paper is okay with graphite, bleeds ink though, and I haven't even dared try marker or paints. Just don't.But for my needs, it worked perfectly. I needed a sketch book to just burn through with while studying perspective and anatomy, and it works just fine for that. Also the fact that it is hardcover is a plus considering even more expensive sketchbooks only have flimsy plastic. Giving it 5/5 stars just because it worked for me and my needs.

My daughter loves this sketch/paint pad! She is 12 and was highly pleased with being able to decorate the cover. She loves the thickness of the pages which enables her to sketch on one side and paint on the other with no leeching through of the paint nor any deformity of the paper due to wetness of paint. These art notebooks are fantastic! I highly recommend and I will be purchasing again!

I wouldn’t use watercolor paints but it’s great to write pens and pencils in.

Good quality and fine thick sheets

I really liked the paper texture. Its nice for pencil work. The cover is also nice and hard. It's overall a nice sketchbook to have in my experience.

I use these book for my Bible Studies. The cover is really sturdy and doesn’t bend. I’m on my 4th one.

This is just what I was looking for. My toddler uses this as a sticker book.

I bought this "sketchbook" for its size and neutral cover. It is because of those things that I give this the 3 stars. I do like the brown cover, it is sturdy, the size is what I wanted, the wire bindings are a decent size, and the paper thickness is fine for me. I am not pleased, though, that the pages are not white; they are a cream color. To me, it is a better scrapbook page than a sketchbook page because of this color. Also, quite a lot of shavings, perhaps from the area where it was wired/bound, fell out as I turned the pages and used it. It was surprising how MUCH of these tiny paper shavings came out of the notebook and stuck to my pant leg. It did come in a cute, thin cardboard box with a small die-cut heart on the front making it look very "gift worthy", however, I would be extremely hesitant to gift this because of all of the shavings (I can imagine an unhappy friend cursing me as she vacuums the mess). I am not sure I would buy this again.
