U.S. Art SupplySet of 4 Different Stylesof Sketching and Drawing Paper Pads (242 Sheets Total) - 2 Each 5.5" x 8.5" and 9" x 12" Premium Spiral Bound Sketch, Draw, Charcoal Pencil, Mixed Media Pads

I ordered this pack of paper to try different weights/thicknesses with my sketching and lino prints.Here are the reasons I am unsatisfied with this set:-All paper is the same weight-All paper is same thickness-All paper has same texture (Sketch pad should have a different texture than charcoal paper)-Spiral bound with NO PERFORATION (You need a straight edge or paper cutter to make a clean line)Overall this pack is basically the same type of paper, disguised under different titles and in an offering of sizes.You are much better off ordering individual pad of paper from a reputable art supply store.

Is it the best quality? No. Is there a huge difference between each pad of paper? Nope. Is there a noticeable difference between them? Yes. Are they different weights? Yes they are! Is the quality good enough for day to day art? YES! You will not be using this paper to hang your art in the Louvre, but for under $10 for the entire bundle it can't be beat!!

Various sizes, great quality paper. One binder has spiral rings on top which is excellent for left handed artists.

When they were received, there was a large gash that went 16 pages deep and then still had marks even further. This was to be a Christmas gift, so there was no time to return it.

Great value and variety, good quality for non professionals
