Canson XL Series Mix Paper Pad, Heavyweight, Fine Texture, Heavy Sizing for Wet or Dry Media, Side Wire Bound, 98 Pound, 5.5 x 8.5 in, 60 Sheets, 5.5X8.5

I wanted to get into sketching so I was on the fence about which book I should get. I am definitely happy I stuck with this one. The materials aren’t cheap and it shows. It’s not too heavy and it’s the perfect size. At least for me, everyone is different. But if your considering sketching and not sure if this one is worth it then trust me when I say it is.

Love the size and weight of this paper. It works well with all mediums.

Good value for money

Good

My favorite paper

I would not recommend this for markers. The pages are more rough than smooth, therefore they will destroy markers/sharpies/BICs fairly quickly. Also being more rough they will wick more ink from the markers making them run out of ink faster than normal.

I have this to my nephew because I have a similar one and I love mine. He was excited that he could use any media with it

Love it! It is exceptional in quality for the price. If you are just getting into watercoloring or if you do a lot of ink drawing, you will absolutely love this sketchbook. After using it for a week, I am ready to order a dozen of these.

Great surface, spiral bound of course lies flat, but this weight doesnt quite hold up to watercolor... theres some warping. So, mix your media carefully!

I love this pad, I use it as a sketchbook
