9x12 Sketchbook Spiral Bound with Total 200 Sheet, 2 Pack

Great sketchbook. Good value, looks great, and the size is true to advertising. The binding can get a little messed up and it’s tedious to deal with but it’s not the end of the world. The solid covers make it super functional since it allows you to draw on more surfaces. I’d say there is some bleed through? Not onto the next paper type, but definitely through paper. This is not really multimedia. I’d stick to pencil, charcoal, pens. Things like sharpies bleed.

Absolutely incredible! I’ve tried four different art pads for my Posca markers and this one knocked it out of the park! No bleeding. After multiple layers of paint, no pilling and zero shredding of the paper. It’s so thick and sturdy! The colors don’t bleed at all and there is zero leaking thru the page. I’m VERY impressed!!! There’s even an easy tear perforation at the top of the page. Highly recommend for paint, markers. charcoal, alcohol based inks, etc.

The paper quality is excellent with no bleed through with any medium you would use. The binding is durable. The size is big, yet portable . Good value for the price.

Got this for my son. He recently got a set of Posco acrylic markers, and they don't work great on regular, low-quality paper (ie Dollar Tree coloring books). The paper in this sketchbook is THICK, almost like an index card. Not only does it stand up to acrylics, but it does so well enough that you can draw on both sides of the paper. This paper holds up well enough to frame, and I have done so with several of my son's drawings. We have also made some paper dolls of his favorite Roblox characters.

Our 9-year-old grandson was extremely pleased with all three art supplies that we gifted him: Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, Faber-Castell Drawing Kit, and a top-spiral Sketch Book. I only buy Prismacolor Colored Pencils, due to their quality, and my grandson knows this and knows how to care for them. The Faber-Castell Drawing Kit includes drawing pencils and charcoal pencils and a booklet. Good quality. And I was thrilled to find a TOP-spiraled Sketch Book, as he is a LEFT-hander like I am! Most sketch books have spirals on the left side of the pad, which interferes with left-handers ability to write or draw. He started drawing and coloring minutes after opening these gifts.

Very nice binder and cover is excellent. My only concern is the texture of the paper. I would probably describe it as medium texture rather than fine. I included a few test sketches so judge for yourself regarding texture level.

This has become my go-to watercolor book. The thick 300 Grams Per Square Meter paper holds multiple layers and the spiral binding makes it easy to paint flat, and transference is minimal so we can use both sides of paper. It’s sturdy enough to take on-the-go and ideal for finished pieces.

Pro: I had purchased this bigger marker pad because of many reviews stating "no pilling" (Pilling = when your marker is drawing down too many layers where the paper itself will start to ball up with the marker strokes and it starts to denigrate). I can attest: the book does NOT PILL!!! Which is absolutely amazing for someone like myself who is constantly critiquing my own work and changing up colors. Currently, using an alcohol-based marker which glides smooth and blends phenomenally. I tested it out with about 15 layers of colors and even a little bit of pressure. Great for a heavy hand!!! Con: Now I can't really take away a star for this; when drawing with a light pencil, I will use a detailing pen / micron of sorts. Let that sit and dry, then start to fill in with the markers and blend. However, because of how SMOOTH the paper is, once my drawing is outlined it did start to bleed a little bit of the borders of the outline. I did experiment and wait 24 hours to test if maybe it needed more time to dry. It still was bleeding around / on the outline. If you take your absolute time you can get away with it - maybe even using a WHITE detailing marker to clean up the lines + retouching up with whatever marker you wanna use. *** Also, if you're using a regular pencil, it does take a little bit of time to erase it. Doesn't erase super easy. It seems that this pad specifically is great for markers, and markers only as the entire medium. Orrrr it could just be user error on my part, lol. But that's the fun in making art!!! Either way, definitely will purchase again.

Genial tal y como lo esperaba, muy buen material para trabajar cualquier tipo de pintura .

Arrived on time in good condition. Much appreciated by the recipient
