Smooth surface and crisp detailing
Excellent paper quality for pencil sketches as lines appear clean and details remain crisp complimented by polished shading. The 60 lb paper is smooth and ideal for framing. The Sketchbook is spiral bound which makes it more comfortable when drawing and helps to keep the pages from creasing. It is a nice improvement to the Strathmore 300 series. The sturdy cardboard backing makes portability a breeze. All around great value for the money.

High Quality Sketch Book in a Handy Size
I’m using Strathmore Charcoal Paper in a drawing class, and I needed something smaller for an assignment so I got this book because it was the size I needed (5.5×8.5 inches). The paper is a lighter weight than my 18×24 paper, and has somewhat less “tooth,” but it would still be suitable for charcoal sketches (I’m using graphite because it’s less messy). The pages turn easily because the metal coil is a good size, but the pages can also be torn out since there’s a very fine perforated edge on the sheets. I’m a drawing “newbie” so I showed it to my art professor, who verified its quality.

4 YEARS! GREAT SKETCH BOOK, BUT… | In-depth Review | Rami Taha
Quality Rating: 4/5Based on price: 5/5Time with Product: 4 years (purchased in 2017)Review:Don’t get me wrong. This product is amazing and it is truly great. It functions as my sketchbook for quick or any art work that would take approx. less than 10 hours to produce. The quality of paper suffices and it does the job. It can hold graphite without noticeable bleeding.However, this does not do very well at traveling due to the composition of the book. The quality of the composition is very bad in comparison to the great quality of the paper itself. Quite disappointing. Anyway, what this does is make it very poor for traveling. You know those paperback books that would get damaged while they were in a backpack due to the quality of the composition and how its overly composed? Exactly. Expect the same thing to happen with this product. Other than that fact, I would highly recommend this product. It is great and works perfectly.Would I use this product for my serious artwork and big project sketches?Definitely not. Nor does this product want me to do that. It is made for those quick and fun sketches. Not anything professional grade. My large project sketches can take up to 100 hours, and each stroke is crafted so carefully that even the gradient of the paper is noticeable on products that claim they have no gradient.I will say this – This product does have a texture to it. If you like really smooth, gradient-free products like me, THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR YOU THEN. But, if you like some texture into your sketches and don’t mind the interesting gradient, then carry on. This is the best product you will find in terms of value for your money goes.If there are any questions or concerns please contact me, I am happy to help.I hope my review makes sense and helps you decide whether or not you would like to purchase this device.Have fun shopping! :)- Rami Taha

First full sketchbook!
I watch “ Sketchbook Sokol” on you tube and it was recommended to by one sketchbook and fill it up before investing in more. This is the one I chose.I like the feel/ texture of the paper. I didn’t know to look for the description of what kind of media was recommended for this particular book, so I only use it for drawing with graphite pencils. That’s ok for me because I’m just starting my learning journey in drawing. I’ve been an artist my entire life with paints being the medium I am accustomed too.I’ve had to put a couple of sheets of paper between the pages as to not make impressions on the page underneath. I don’t know if this is a common problem but it is for me.The size is ok for small drawings with out a lot of detail.Overall I like it for my first sketches.

spiral binding—it makes it easy to flip pages
The Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad is exactly what I needed for drawing and illustration. The 11×14 size gives plenty of space to work on larger sketches, and the paper holds up well to pencil, charcoal, and ink without smudging too easily. The sheets are thick enough to handle erasing without tearing, which is a huge plus for art class and practice.I also appreciate the spiral binding—it makes it easy to flip pages and lay the sketchbook flat while working. With 100 sheets, it lasts a long time and is great value for the price. Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists. I’ll definitely be purchasing this again.

製品に誠実さは感じる。マルマンのような安かろう悪かろうと言う、粗悪品を売っても安いんだからいいだろ、という発想はそもそもない。いい紙は高いが、その分満足感はある。絵を描くということは心を解放し、また観るものの心も解放する事だ。思い通りの表現を妨げる紙は安価である事が免罪符にはならない。
