Overview
A student carrying a small sketchbook gets a hundred uncoated white sheets in this compact pad. It is made in the United States and aimed at drawing, illustration and art class.
Sheet count in a compact format suits daily drawing and classroom work. The limits are the missing binding detail and a paper weight entry that disagrees with the description.
Who it's for
Daily sketches, class exercises and quick illustration studies. Painters, and anyone who must know the binding before buying, should choose a pad with fuller details.
Pros and cons
- Large sheet count
- Compact page size
- Uncoated paper surface
- Made in the United States
- Binding type not listed
- Paper weight entries conflict
Performance notes
An uncoated surface gives dry media like pencil some tooth to hold on to. Paper weight governs how much erasing and layering a page can take, and the listing gives that figure two ways.
