  • Fantastic
Size: 7.75x9.75 Style: Toned Tan Product Packaging: 48 Pages
This notebook is beautiful. I love working in it. It's really sturdy and holds water well for line and wash even full watercolor. It also feels good in my hands, the soft moleskin feels very high quality

  • Bubble Wrap Cover Design
Size: 7.75x9.75 Style: Toned Tan Product Packaging: 48 Pages
The actual item is great. The pages are great quality. The only thing that I am confused about is how the cover got damaged. Like many of the comments, my cover got weirdly damaged. It looks like someone put my book on top of hot bubble wrap. Just super strange. I don’t know why this is still an issue if multiple people have had this issue. Also since these aren’t exactly cheap, I would like to have my drawing notebook not look like melted bubble wrap. So overall, great notebook overall but something weird is going on with the covers. ... show more

  • Wish the small size wasn't different between hardcover and softcover
Size: 5.5x8.5 Style: Mixed Media Product Packaging: 64 Pages
I actually really enjoy the mixed media sketchbook, I have one for my oil painting studies but I wish the soft cover one came in the 5.5 x 8.5 instead of just 5.5 x 8. I had accidentally purchased the hardcover one and ordered the softcover but realized the size difference. No idea why they do that. The softcover does get indents or scratches if you put it in your bag, so if that bothers you, get the hardcover one. Markers do bleed through but not too bad. If you want to paint with oils on this, just prime the pages. The picture shown is in my bigger sketchbook where I swatched a bit of markers and the size difference between the two smaller ones. ... show more

  • Great Book, Terrible Packaging
Size: 7.75x9.75 Style: Mixed Media Product Packaging: 32 Pages
This is a great sketchbook. Here's why: * It's a little smaller than A4, a little taller than a square sketchbook. * A good number of pages to finish without being too few or too many. * The paper is very good, with some texture rather than none. * It works well for graphite, dip pens/ink, light watercolor, colored pencils. * Alcohol markers also work well but they do bleed to the other side (I place an extra sheet behind the page I'm working on to prevent further bleed through). * I like the soft cover--it's a nice change from the hardbound books I usually use and the book lies flat. The only issue I have is with Amazon's packaging. The sketchbook came in a flimsy plastic envelope with no padding whatsoever. There are deep grooves in the middle of the cover that are clearly pressure marks from some heavy object. Since the paper is fine with no bent corners I'm keeping it and will order more in future. I also want to note that I truly appreciate being able to order from Amazon as getting art supplies and other items is difficult or impossible in the small town where I live. But I hope Amazon will store and/or pack these sketchbooks more carefully in future. ... show more

  • Love!
Size: 8x5.5 Style: Watercolor Product Packaging: 48 Pages
I love all the Strathmore products I have! This is great for traveling. It has heavy duty paper, but note it is more of a cold-pressed paper, so if you like the bumpiness texture, this is for you!

Only thing I hate and also love is the soft cover, is feels so nice and high quality but man is it easily damaged. Make sure you have a clean area or it'll end up being dirty in a few days.
