Strathmore 200 Series Sketch Pad, 9x12 inch, 100 Sheets, Tape Bound - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students

Thick paper

I bought two of these to test out different media. I personally am not using it as a sketch pad to keep all my drawings, but more to test out subject matter, values, media, etc. Strathmore is a very good company, and this was a deal I couldn't refuse. I've used pen, ink, watercolor, colored pencil, graphite and all work fine for my purpose on this paper. I wouldn't use this for something I'd want to frame; the paper is not sturdy for final works, but great for quick studies. It's also a bright white, not an off-white if that is something you need to know. I'd buy this again for sure.

Excellent sketch pad, good quality, great size, good pager thickness, easy to carry around, very durable product.

Good value

I've been using the Strathmore 200 Series Sketch Pad for practice sketches and quick ideas, and it’s a fantastic choice for beginner to intermediate artists. The paper is lightweight but holds up well to dry media like pencil, charcoal, and even light ink work. The smooth texture is ideal for clean lines, and erasing is easy without damaging the paper.While it's not intended for heavy blending or wet media, it’s perfect for quick studies and experimentation. The 100-sheet count also gives great value for the price, making it a staple for art classes or casual sketching. A must-have for anyone looking to practice and refine their skills!

My grandson loves drawing and this paper texture is better for pencil Ft work. Great to have here when he visits.

Good quality thick paper.

Pages are nice and big and clean loves love it and easy to rip when he needs to rip a paper out. Would highly recommend recommend!!
