Royal & LangnickelA4 Sketchbook with Spiral Side (80 Sheets), Black, 8.3 x 11.7 inch

it is what it is

Lovely quality book of art paper. Lovely, thick paper with a good amount of "take" for my Caran D'ache pencils. This paper helps achieve a great finish for your art for a reasonable price. The book is nicely made with a ring binder that allows you to completely fold the book back on itself.

I bought this for my son who loves to draw. I like that the paper is thick like construction paper, but the spiral makes it extremely convenient. He loves using it as well, and we have a few so when he fills up one, he can start another. It's exactly what we needed.

paper seems to tear on the surface if the pencil has any sort of sharpness to it, so I mostly use slightly blunted pencils to sketch on it. ok for a general sketches, but not as good as expected.

Good quality paper. It’s thick and holds inks, chalks and graphite especially well - haven’t tried paint. The texture is very nice and allows for a smooth and fine approach to art with the sketchbook.
