Strathmore 400 Series Recycled Sketch Pad

Purchased this for my son's girlfriend. She loves to draw & this is a perfect stocking stuffer for her. I was trying to find some things she might enjoy & this is the perfect size for putting in her purse. Great sketch pad for on the go. I found quite a few sketch pads but most of them have pages that are bound to the book. This makes them difficult to remove as the entire book eventually starts falling apart. This book has rings so the pages can easily be removed without compromising the binding. The paper appears to be a good quality thickness. It is the perfect little notebook for anyone who wants an on the go sketch pad.

Nice sketch book for the price.

Thick paper, durable, and easy to use!!!

Good quality

I was hesitant to purchase "recycled" materials for my sketch work, but this is nice. The backboard on the spiral is a little flimsy, but overall it's worth the savings compared to non-recycled 400. I will purchase again.

My granddaughter loved them.

I love this sketchbook. It has actually helped me improve my sketches. I usually use the Canson universal sketchbooks and after using this brand I won't be going back to Canson anytime soon. This book is a really nice midweight paper with just enough texture that is great for pencil, colored pencil, and marker use. I have used Crayola markers and it didn't bleed through to the back at all, I was so surprised. The pages are perforated so you can take a page out and the book has a solid cardboard back that is sturdy enough to sketch on the go or without using a hard surface like a table. I definitely recommend this for any artist.

Drawing in this sketchbook feels great for quick pencil sketches, as the pages are fairly large and have a slight texture, but a overall smooth feeling to them, which prevents the pencil graphite from snagging or breaking as easily as it does on more textured paper. I would not recommend it to anyone who wants to experiment and/or render with a lot of different art supplies, because the pages are a bit on the flimsy side and they don't hold pigment from dry mediums very well, because of their smoothness, and pen ink tends to bleed. I think Canson's mixed media sketchbooks are a much better alternative for that, since they can also handle wet mediums extremely well, but Strathmore is the best for quick pencil sketches in my experience.

I like this size. Lots of paper in it. Great for quick sketches or doodling.

Leider hat das Papier durchgehend sehr viele Falten. Auf der Seite 3 war sogar ein Riss. Hat ja 100 Blätter aber durchgehend die Falten ist nicht schön

My daughter's favorite travel sized sketchbook. She love the size for carrying around all day, easily, and the paper texture.

Este cuaderno es un tamaño poket para dibujar, yo lo uso para dibujo a lápiz y me parece perfecto para cargar a todos lados, es muy práctico y resistente. El papel es de 89gm (ni muy delgado ni muy grueso) y no he tenido problemas de transferencia o manchas entre hojas. Esta marca también cuenta con cuadernos de papel gris o sepia, para darle un toque diferente a los dibujos.
