5.5" x 8.5" Sketchbook Set, Top Spiral Bound Sketch Pad, 2 Pack of 100 Each (60lbs/100gsm), Acid Free Art Sketchbook Artistic Drawing Painting Paper for Beginners and Artists

These sketchbooks are absolutely perfect! My daughter uses them every single day for what we call her “picture of the day.” She paints or draws something new each day, and I’m keeping them all in these pads so she’ll have a full collection to look back on someday — or maybe I’ll treasure them as a keepsake of her creativity and growth. The size is just right for small hands, and the paper quality holds up beautifully to paints, markers, and pencils. The top spiral makes it easy for her to flip through and create freely without pages bending or tearing. Such a simple product, but it’s become a part of a really special daily ritual for us. Highly recommend for kids, artists, or anyone who loves capturing a little creativity each day.

The covers on these are very solid, like laminated hardcover book material, which is more durable than paper or cardboard. You can even stand this sketchbook up like an easel. The paper is only 68 lbs, but thick enough to take markers and pens. Not sure if I'd do extensive washes or anything more wet than linework. Love the size and the spiral at the short end. Pages are perforated, which is nice for taking out pages neatly. Very happy, especially for the price.

If you're an artist looking for a top-notch sketch pad, look no further. This one has quickly become my new favorite. ​What immediately stands out is the paper quality. It's a nice, heavy weight that can handle a variety of mediums. I've used it for everything from graphite and charcoal to ink and markers, and it holds up beautifully without any bleed-through or warping. The texture is smooth but has just enough tooth to grab onto pencils, which makes shading and detail work a breeze. ​The pad itself is also incredibly durable. The spiral binding is sturdy and doesn't get bent out of shape, and the hardcovers provide a firm surface for drawing on the go

This paper is good for gel pens fountain pens and etc, I like it I have been buying this pads in a two set for awhile and every now and then you can get them here on Amazon on sale, good price for them, don’t tell anyone because then they will raise the price to an ugly price. The paper stays crisp and the spirals do not get in the way it is a very good product and hopefully I will continue to purchase this product in the future as usual. Paper thickness is good it is not thin I do not know the weight of the paper but it is very adequate for sketching drawing doodling, I am using the paper right this minute I have two full pages left in this notebook!!! It is really good sturdy rip resistant paper or crumble resistant paper.

Overall this is a great sketchbook for a wonderful price. I purchased as a gift and because it is a two-pack was able to split it and give to two people. The pages are a little more narrow than expected, but great for drawing. The paper is a good thickness and erases well. Small enough to pack with you.
