Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, 11x14 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students

I'm using Strathmore Charcoal Paper in a drawing class, and I needed something smaller for an assignment so I got this book because it was the size I needed (5.5x8.5 inches). The paper is a lighter weight than my 18x24 paper, and has somewhat less "tooth," but it would still be suitable for charcoal sketches (I'm using graphite because it's less messy). The pages turn easily because the metal coil is a good size, but the pages can also be torn out since there's a very fine perforated edge on the sheets. I'm a drawing "newbie" so I showed it to my art professor, who verified its quality.

This is a great professional sketch pad for my kid to use when drawing her characters. The quality is solid, and it holds up well to various types of drawing materials. She’s been really happy with it, and it’s perfect for her creative projects.

Good product

favorite paper for sketching

Awesome size. Just exactly what I needed. Does smudge but I think it’s the pencils. Either way i really like the style. You can even tear out the page due to the perforated edges. I’ll buy another when I’m done with this one! Thickness is not as thick as other sketch notebooks I’ve gotten and the paper is totally smooth with no real teeth in it. It’s just right for practicing and sketching though. I like the spiral notebook style. Made me dive back into sketching! Does smudge though

Good quality, sturdy and easy to carry, very good for any age. The price is also decent.

Thisn ws perfet, exactly what I needed.

Very interesting, I liked it.
