Artway Studio – Casebound A4 Sketchbook – Portrait - 92 Sides/46 Pages of 170gsm Cartridge Paper – Black Hardback Sketchbook

I love this so much! Stumbled across it looking for a specific brand, decided to take a leap of faith and buy this instead as it’s a lot cheaper than said brand.I would say this is still on the more pricy side so not amazing value for money, however it definitely is worth it. So far I’ve only started pen line drawings on the first couple of pages so I can’t comment on how the paper holds up for wet media, but there’s basically 0% bleed through from Uniball fineliners! Confident that the paper can withstand quite a lot, caution may be needed when painting tho - I seem to remember the label mentioned to not load it up with water too much when using watercolour. But I definitely think I’ll be able to work with acrylics in it without much issue.The paper is a heavy weight, smooth but has slight texture (which I personally like a lot) and it’s an off-white ivory colour. Similar to moleskin paper but it isn’t a completely flat, smooth surface and has a bit more weight to it.The book itself can lay out flat too which is great!I will definitely be back for more of these :)

Very good item, really great value. Quality item.

I bought this for my daughters Christmas, just for fun. The cover was slightly dirty when it arrived, but I bought some graffiti stickers for her to cover it. It's a sturdy book. Seems well made with plenty of pages.The pages appear to be thick enough for her to use felt tips/paint.If your serious about art, probably not the one for you but for child's play, teenage hobby or for fun, then it's ideal.

As described perfect for daughters for gcse art.

Good quality notebook that can be used for a wide range of media (I tried watercolour pencils, oil pastel and pencils)

Love it , lots of pages

The grade of paper used in the sketch book is not particularly good for artwork of quality. It is more like a book for scrapbooking and very basic art techniques for beginners. A shame as this is the only thing wrong with the product.
