ARTEZA Hardcover Sketch Book 8.5 x 11 Drawing Pad 2 Pack 100 Sheets Sketch Pads for Drawing for Adults & Teens

these are awesome and getting 2 is a great deal. a little on the big and bulky side for traveling. pages are nice and this - have not used paint on them, just pencil, pen and markers. no leaves with the markers. the hard cover makes these really durable.

A4 sketchbooks are the only ones I'll work with because they provide lots of space to draw while also being easy to carry around. Previously I used a Talens Art Creation sketchbook, and I'd say these are similar but the price is better. The paper is fairly thick (130GSM), so it should hold up to plenty of pencil pressure. The texture is between smooth and rough, which I prefer. I think the texture might be better than Talens for graphite, since it's slightly rougher.

The paper is a little textured, but not too much. Perfect for colored pencils. My pens and copic markers didn't tear up the paper. Although the copics do bleed through to the other side, the next page was spotless. It's much better quality than I expected, and I would buy this sketchbook again.

These these are worth it. Beautiful books, so excited to fill them.

The quality of these are PHENOMINAL. I expected the paper to be a bit thin but upon them arriving the paper was perfect thickness. Writing is smooth and pens/sharpies/markers don’t bleed through. I gave one to my boyfriend and he LOVED it. They are a bit heavy and bulky but overall amazing quality. Also the cover is amazing for those who tend to accidentally bend the soft cover sketchbooks.

I loved the texture of the paper and you get a lot of pages for a good price. The book itself is hardcover and pretty sturdy. My only complaint is that the sheets are see-through. So you can't use both sides to sketch unless you don't mind ghost lines.

I'm a professional fine artist who's made his living with my art since 1983, so you cam believe me when I tell you I've used just about every worthwhile sketchbook on the market. Stillman and Burns Zeta has been my go to for years now, but I wanted to try these because of the weight of the paper and the way the hardcover books are stitched. When I opened the package and took off the wrapper I was impressed by the quality for the price. These books are built to last and will easily outlive me. One one thing I noticed right away though that I didn't like is the texture of the paper. The product description says it's smooth, but it's actually a medium texture. Smooth paper is supposed to be like smooth Bristol paper. Like SB Zeta sketchbooks. I don't care for medium texture paper. But to my great surprise, when I sat down for a sketching session, it took my pencil as if it were smooth finish. SO, even though it LOOKS and feels like medium texture paper, it works just like smooth. I look forward to many hours of happy drawing in the two pack I have. I believe you will be just as happy with them. Thanks Arteza!

Ok

Qualität ist gut. Saubere, glatte Seiten. Diese sind fest gebunden. Für einen Hobbyzeichner wie mich super

Je suis ravie de mon achat, car le livre est de bonne qualité et le grammage du papier excellente pour le dessin. En revanche, un sticker (qui s'enlève facilement) est apposé sur la couverture avant, qui laisse une trace... J'espère que ça disparaîtra avec le temps !?

Me ha dejado marca al quitar la pegatina de la pasta, alguna sugerencia ?

I’ll be honest when I say I had never heard of Arteza before my purchase. However, ever since I have purchased these two sketchbooks, I have truly fallen in love. The quality within the paper and the hard cover is absolutely outstanding, and makes my drawing/creative experience far more comforting and enjoyable. The paper is perfect for sketches, charcoal, chalk and even light paints. I would definitely recommend this brand, and as I write this review I have just purchased another 2 smaller sketchbooks for my Copic marker work. Arteza is a brand that you can trust. 5/5 stars.

Sono molto soddisfatto. Prodotto di altissima qualità.
