The paper has a great texture for color pencils and charcoal. It is smooth and the colors blend easily. However, there is little space for mistakes... the smooth texture doesnt allow the use of a rough eraser. I like the letter size, it is portable and easy to put in a backpack. I wished it had the possibility of detaching the leaves, but nothing that a sharp knife and a piece of cardboard couldnt do... I am very happy with this purchase. It not only looks and feels very professional... it is a pleasure to use.

But it stops there. Very disappointed doesnt erase well, doesnt take water well, will use for mixed media I guess but just bummed

I had to buy these for my daughters sixth grade art class and did not want to spend a ton of money on something that would possibly get thrown away at the end of the year. The hard covers are nice and do hold up to being tossed around. The pages are very nice for the price as well. I am happy with what she received for the price point.

Ive been looking for something just like this to release my inner thoughts, doodles, sketches, journal entries, everything! Lines cause me anxiety! How do you expect me to stay in those lines!? I love these huge white sheets of UNLINED, thick, delicious paper. The hard cover makes it easy to write anywhere. Very well put together and the ribbon page marker is a bonus. Love!

Good quality!

Using one now and the quality and value for the cost is great. Definitely happy with the purchase.

Purchased these for my daughter and she loves them. She loves to draw and this is perfect for her.

These are well worth the price for sturdy, durable , sketchbooks that will last for your projects. They are hardbound, with blank pages throughout. The spines hold together nicely even once filled. They also have nice paper quality for the price. Some bleed through if using markers but no ripping with pencils or pens.

I like journals with no lines, and lots of sketches and equations :) These are perfect, I just wish they had more pages.

Strong and well made, at a great price and got shipped in about 2 days. My only complaint is that I dont like the texture of the paper but Im just weird about that. Theres nothing wrong with it
