Bellofy 200 Sheet Drawing Pads for Artists - Sketch Pads for Drawing Kids & Adults - Small Sketchbook 5.8 x 8.3 Inch - 64 IB 95 GSM - Top Spiral Sketchpad for Artists - Sketch Art Paper for Dry Media

This was bought as part of a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. It's small enough for her to carry around in her mini backpack if she wants to sketch while out with her parents, but large enough for her to be able to sketch whatever she wants.

Simply put the paper quality does not allow for an heavy hand when drawing, erasing is iffy, inking a drawing is not too easy. I got these to make quick character designs on with a mech pencil and simple inking . I tore thru the sheets every time . The paper is rough , supposedly for "preliminary drawing" the coarseness isn't overwhelming but enough disrupt drawing a smooth line or small detail. These pads aren't bad to do thumbnail / character / detail sketches but little else.

My two grandsons, 10 and 9, have used their sketchbooks--along with a tin of colored pencils--on long airplane trips (5-6 hrs) and for creating an art "journal" of their vacation! The notebook is sturdy--bound well--and the paper thick enough so if they were to use colored pens, the ink would not bleed through the page. I intend to purchase more of these!

It is a handy size and easy to carry around. I like the surface of the paper as it takes well to pencil shading, ink pen and sharpies. This was a good purchase for me. It says dry media on the cover but I think watercolors would work on it too.

The pages are not as smooth as I'd imagine they would be. Also one of the notepads had printer dots in same through half the pad. I like my pens, pencils to flow smoothly and the surface was quite rough for my taste. Besides this, they arrived well packaged and in great shape.

you want a sketchboook to just put ywhat ever you feel like on it with out the pressure of wasting an expensive page in an expensive sketchbook? You can get this guy. I spend hours practicing and sketching in this and it feels good to not have that pressure. It erases well and feels smooth. Just great to put all of your ideas and quick sketches in it. Also it is inexpensive compared to other sketchbook brands.

I got this for two of my grandchildren for Christmas. The pad is much thicker (more pages) than it I thought. The paper is nice quality and it has perforations to tear their art out nice and neat. They love it.

nice texture paper, price a bit steep as compared to the "mart" ..bought for son-in-law, who seems pleased
