Great quality

Good book

On the positive side it's lovely and smooth and a nice tan colour. However, this is my fault in a way, as I'd read this was great for pencil artwork I bought it, but without really thinking about the gsm. And on reflection I'd say for my type of artwork, this paper isn't thick enough. If you work into the paper alot you'll find this paper gets dented and mishapen a little. I'm hoping once in a frame this won't matter. But it is slightly annoying.

Love this

These sketchbooks are perfect for coured pencil artwork. I have attached some imgaes of some drawings i've done. This book holds pencil very well and makes your drawing stand out. The paper is smooth and a great thickness too, even if you press hard the paper wont tear. If you do lots of coloured pencil drawings then these sketchbooks are a must. I love them and will continue to purchase them.

This sketchbook is amazing, the paper is the perfect shade so white shows up, but colours aren't distorted. The paper is very smooth and easy to put pencil on! It's a4 so it's nice and big. The paper is quite thick so if you are looking to trace onto it I would definitely buy some tracing paper!

I like the fact that this paper can put up with numerous erasures and is perfect for graphite, charcoal and coloured pencils, the last holding quite a few layers (I've done up to six). The colour also looks pretty, it is a slightly greyish biege that allows colours appear more luminous.
