Lovely colour pad. Purchased for charcoal work. Very pleased

Son loves this good quality

On the positive side it's lovely and smooth and a nice tan colour. However, this is my fault in a way, as I'd read this was great for pencil artwork I bought it, but without really thinking about the gsm. And on reflection I'd say for my type of artwork, this paper isn't thick enough. If you work into the paper alot you'll find this paper gets dented and mishapen a little. I'm hoping once in a frame this won't matter. But it is slightly annoying.

Great quality

These sketchbooks are perfect for coured pencil artwork. I have attached some imgaes of some drawings i've done. This book holds pencil very well and makes your drawing stand out. The paper is smooth and a great thickness too, even if you press hard the paper wont tear. If you do lots of coloured pencil drawings then these sketchbooks are a must. I love them and will continue to purchase them.

Love this

This sketchbook is amazing, the paper is the perfect shade so white shows up, but colours aren't distorted. The paper is very smooth and easy to put pencil on! It's a4 so it's nice and big. The paper is quite thick so if you are looking to trace onto it I would definitely buy some tracing paper!

L album era proprio quello di cui avevo bisogno Sono pienamente soddisfatto e lo consiglio a chiunque cerchi un album abbastanza liscio e che permetta di ottenere degli ottimi contrasti di luce ✅ PRO: Liscio, i colori scorrono bene sulla carta. Fogli di alta qualità, si possono fare tantissime sovrapposizioni di colori, per chi è abituato a lavorare a strati 🔴 CONTRO: Forse un po sottili, ma tutto viene compensato dalla qualità dei fogli e dei risultati. Se siete dei disegnatori professionisti e cercate una soluzione professionale per fare ritratti o paesaggi, questo é quello che fa per voi 🔥🔥🔥

Papel excelente para técnica de grafite/carvão

Muito bom mesmo

For a long time I have been wanting to play with a toned sketchbook and deviated from the normal white paper for awhile. The color is very warm, and the paper holds up pretty well against sharpies and brush pens with little to no bleed through.I haven't experienced any whitening with erasing so far, thankfully, and it makes the highlights from white prisma color pencils stand out beautifully. It's small enough for me to carry around in a backpack or purse, perfect for sketching ideas and concepts or things I see in the moment, whenever and wherever I feel the need.

Instagramで多くの絵師さん達が使っていて気になっていました。 油性色鉛筆との相性抜群ですね。 まだ一枚しか描いていませんが色乗りが良いですね。
