condaHardcover 9"x12" Spiral Sketch Pad for Drawing Painting 8.5"x11" sketch pad UK-23

My youngest sister loves to draw, so when I saw this along with some other items I just had to buy it for her. This spiral bound sketch pad is ideal for drawing and sketching, it is a nice size that could be hand held if you wished (8.5" x 11" inches).I liked the classic design and feel to the sketch pad, it’s the way I would expect one to look and feel (I’m no artist by the way), both cover and paper feel nice. If my sister gives me the thumbs up for this then I will be purchasing more for her.PROsSpiral binding allows you to –• Have better access to the pages• Easily flip the pages over• Open your sketch pad so that it is flat• Sketch without removing pages• Keep your pages secure100% handmade hard cover is -• Is hard bound• Textured• Black• Slick-smooth• Waterproof cover• Helps protect your artworkHigh quality paper –• 80 sheets of 90gsm 60lb fine textured bright paper• Will withstand the rigors of repeated erasures• Acid free (increase longevity of your sketches)• Lightly perforated• Ideal for all dry media - (pencils, pens, pastels, charcoals, sketching sticks)CONsNon that I noticed and as yet nothing from my sisterIn conclusion an ideal sketchpad that makes for a nice gift, is well presented, contains eighty sheets of what feels like quality paper and comes in that classic design, this one looks like a sketch pad and has the qualities that I would expect and look for. That said if my sister comes back to me with any feedback I promise to pop back online and update this review.Sketch Pad Information:Contains 60 sheetsWeighs in at 630gBook size is 9" x 12" inches120 Pages of blank bright white paperSketch book sheets are individually perforatedDouble wire bound hardcover

This is a must have for any budding artist.

Very sturdy sheets to work on thick worth more

It’s good for the most part, but if you color too hard with your colored pencils when blending the paper starts to rip and tear a little bit.

very good
