I'm looking at a competing Strathmore toned product that is 80 lb paper. Thanks.** A: This one is an 80lb as well. **Q: is this sketchbook good quality** A: Yes, this sketchbook is perfect quality for color pencils and graphite pencils. I have two sketchbook from Strathmore toned and they are amazing and they last very long. I recommend it **Q: If I use alcohol based markers (copic,ad chartpak) will it bleed? How good is it for blending?** A: Copics blend well on this paper but will definitely bleed noticably onto the back of the page. But unless you go super intense, the page after the one you're working on should be fine! **Q: These sketchbooks are amazing for copic markers, do they by any chance make an ever bigger Size?** A: I've seen an 11x14 on Amazon! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great color drawing pad *by M***I on May 30, 2026* Beautiful Renaissance type color. Gives a good contrast when using white charcoal pen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just right *by A***E on July 10, 2026* Not enough brands offer this shade. The size is just right and the tone is good. Would buy again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for sketching, doodling, and inking (but avoid the white and gray in this size) *by A***R on June 27, 2017* This review is for the three colors of the 5.5" x 8.5" 400 series Strathmore sketchbooks because although they are marketed to be identical with only a color variation, they are completely different. Gray, Strathmore Spiral Toned Sketch Book 5.5"X8.5"-Gray 50 Sheets Tan, Strathmore Spiral Toned Sketch Book 5.5"X8.5"-Tan 50 Sheets White/Off-White, Strathmore Sketch Spiral Paper Pad 5.5"X8.5"-100 Sheets Gray: 1. 50 sheets, yes 2. NOT perforated like the other colors 3. NOT 80 lb weight although it claims to be, much thinner 4. Darker than quality gray art paper in the larger sizes--markers and pencil don't show well Tan, hands down my favorite: 1. 50 sheets, yes 2. Perforated sheets tear out easily 3. 80 lb heavyweight paper, ink and marker do not show through to the other side 4. Perfect darkness for ink and marker to show up well and bright 5. Perfect amount of "tooth" to sketch with pencil or marker White: 1. 100 sheets because it's only slightly thicker than plain printer paper (20 lb) 2. Perforated sheets but they tear the entire sheet because the paper is so thin 3. NOT 80 lb paper, supposedly 60 lb but it's so thin it's more like 26 lb weight 4. Pencil, ink, and marker show right through this thin paper 5. Unusual color with little to no tooth I would NOT recommend the gray or white, although larger sizes might be fine (the larger gray in particular is better quality than this size). The tan is heavenly. I love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Tan, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Gray, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Blue, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/4684436-sketchbook](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/4684436-sketchbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
