I love a square sketchbook and this one is small with nice, textured paper. I mostly use graphite and it erases nicely.

This has become my favorite book to tuck in my pocket and take with me on nature rambles. The paper is high quality, and the square format works well for me. I like the envelope at the back of the book for safely storing leaves and flowers. The olive color is lovely, and I also have one in black that I like.

The photo is from my portrait version but the paper is the same. A lot of pages, durable paper, works well with ball point pen sketch and even ink from a brush. (Indian ink).The power to create in your back pocket.

I've never been one for using Large sketchbooks and I absolutely love this small one. Definitely recommend.

I'd been searching for a sketchbook of a certain size to hold small drawings. This one was not only the right size, with enough pages, but also very solid and professional looking. So pleased I'm ordering another right away to have a matched pair!

I purchased the Square size in Cadmium Green. Everything is as described in the “About this item” (as of 1/15/22).The color is as pictured, if only very slightly darker/greener than in the single-shot product photo. It’s a beautiful earthy green.Durable, quality paper. Works great with pen and ink; I imagine it’ll work with/withstand other mediums as well.Sturdy cover & binding. The cloth cover texture and color are very pleasant. I’m by no means familiar with fabric, so take my words with a grain of salt; I would describe the feel of it to be like cotton, with the structure of linen(?).It seems like the hardcover plus the 8-signature binding (photo included) will make for a long-lasting notebook that’ll hold itself together through wear and tear. Hoping that this super portable (both in size and weight—it’s very light) notebook will help me practice drawing more consistently and in a variety of settings!

This book fits well into pocket… also I have been using watercolour pencils, paint and fine liner pens on paper with out bleeding through… because it’s such a small area I don’t use very much water on paper, get a little bit of paper wrinkling but that goes when kept closed with strong elastic band attached to book. Good product.

Honestly, the sketchbook is pretty generic.First off, the cons. I’m not a fan of the paper at all. There’s a bit of a yellow tint which I HATE. I work a lot with pens, and since I can mess up once and a while, I usually have a white pen to correct by mistake. But the problem is, the paper is a bit yellow that you can tell where I made a mistake, because my white pen is so much whiter than the paper. It’s not too noticeable, but it is once you point it out.The next complaint is still related to the paper. I’m a mixed media artist, I like to include pens, markers, watercolor and gouache. But this paper can not handle watercoloring at all. It feels like your basic sketching paper, with a bit of sturdiness. When I tried to watercolor a background to test the papers strength, the color was extremely dull and the paper was already giving in. So I mainly stuck to pens and markers. The markers bleed through (which I expected) but sometimes it bled through a few pages which really was unfortunate.Now to the pros: the binding of the book is phenomenal. I feel comfortable leaving it flat as it won’t flip back and close the book itself, nor will the binding mess up when you leave it opened, which was the main reason I never liked the binding of sketchbooks like that initially and the main reason I stuck to spiral sketchbooks. But this book is sturdy and the pages will never fall out. Probably my favorite part of the sketchbook.I’m also a big fan of the soft sturdy covers. I take my sketchbook everywhere I go, so I’m glad I don’t have to worry about little stains messing up my art when I’m out and about. It’s just the right size for traveling and I’m perfectly happy with the size.Overall, this sketchbook is pretty fine. If you’re just using it for generic pencil sketching, get it. It’s very beautiful and simple and I honestly don’t regret buying it. Not the best sketchbook I’ve had, bit pretty good. A solid 7/10. Would I buy it again? Probably not, because the real killer is the yellow tint of the paper. But I now know I’ll buy something similar to it.

Das Papier ist ok für den Preis.Angenehme Körnung für Bleistift, verträgt Wasserfarbe wenn man nicht grade einen halben Liter Waser auf einmal auf die Seite kippt.Was aber gar nicht geht, ist dass ca. 15 Seiten im Buch (von 64!) deutliche Druckspuren und Dellen haben. Irgendwas war so fest zwischen die Seiten gepresst, dass es Spuren im Papier hinterlassen hat. Diese Seiten sind damit bestenfalls noch für sehr grobe Vorskizzen benutzbar, aber nicht für fertigere Bilder, vor allem nicht Bleistiftskizzen, bei denen diese Druckspuren deutlich sichtbar sind.Ich würde es nicht empfehlen. Mit dem Canson ArtBook Universal war ich deutlich glücklicher, und kriege doppelt so viel Papier für weniger Geld.
