Fuxi 9" x 12" Sketch Book, Top Spiral Bound Sketch Pad, 1 Pack 100 Sheets 68lb/100gsm, Acid Free Art Sketchbook Artistic Drawing Painting Writing Paper for Kids Adults Beginners Artists

I bought this pad because the description mentioned a smooth surface and it is a quite affordable drawing pad. I do have some larger, much more expensive Bristol paper I use with larger drawings, but I like to work on a 9 x 12 size mostly. The first drawing I did was with colored pencil and markers, just to check the quality of the paper, and there was no bleeding from the markers and the smooth surface was quite nice. Next, I drew a self portrait with high-quality drawing pencils and I quite like the texture of this paper. If you like paper with a lot of tooth, this is not the paper for you, but if you like to blend and have cleaner lines, I highly recommend this drawing pad.

Wow! I am so happy with this purchase! Now that I have done some art projects I can honestly say it is perfect for my needs. I turned it sideways and am using in a landscape format so I had fun painting the cover. It opens long for grid journaling and large sketchbook style spreads. Great for practice and holds mixed media very well. Pages are thick enough for all my various art supplies. Having a blast with this book. Has a five star rating for a reason. Will buy again…. Don’t hesitate and Enjoy!

This was definitely the best sketchbook I have ever gotten quality of paper was chefs kiss the paper was as thick enough as it could be, and as I wanted it well it wasn’t as thick as it could be, but it was still as thick as I needed it to be. I had also bought some colored pencils and normal pencils with this and it ended up being really good. Really recommend this to anyone who’s unsure it to buy it or not but there is one con, for me the quality of the little circle things that go in the paper is really bad. They broke off when I tried to rip a piece of paper off but that might just be only me still have. I still have a lot of paper to go through and that’s one thing that I think would be really nice because I am a artist kind of but anyways let me get this review. Finished really good quality paper thick enough paper everything about it was good recommended

Good

This is the only pad that I found that I like the weight of the papers nice whether you're using ink or pencil to page holds up well it will only bleed through if you hold the pen in one spot for particular long time I like the design of the spiral on the top it's better than on the side perfect size this is all around good work for all kind of project paper

Paper is thick and of good quality. It was packaged really well so it suffered no damage getting to me. The only reason I deducted a star is that there is bleed through when you use alcohol ink markers. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Made a great gift for an aspiring artist

Perfect sketchpad
