Canson Artist Series Sketch Book Paper Pad, for Pencil and Charcoal, Acid Free, Wire Bound, 65 Pound, 9 x 12 Inch, 80 Sheets

I am a huge fan of Julia Cameron's the Artist's Way - I have been journaling 3-pages every morning since the beginning of this year (I recently retired from 25+ years) Along with my morning journaling I do a daily sketch in these books ... I like the size and the discipline having the small sketchbook by my reading/writing chair ... this has been a perfect sketchbook. I like the feel of the paper and the sturdiness of the book itself. 5-stars

The ink does not leak through. The sizes are great. They are well-made. I buy more than one.

Great product quality. The covers are very sturdy and protect the pages very well while being jostled around inside my backpack. The spiral spine is very nice, too. Very easy to turn the pages over without getting caught or ripping. I use this notebook for pencil sketching and I've had no issues with any part of this product.

I bought the 5x7 but realized it was too small and also got the 7x10. I wish there was something in between like 6x8.5, but am pretty happy with the 7x10. It's perfect for sketching with a regular gel pen, doesn't bleed through the pages. Wire bounding is good quality and the harder covers have a nice matte professional looking finish. I use this for engineering sketches and carry it around with me everywhere I go and it's holding up great.

Great paper, nice backing and sturdy rings. I love square sketch books and this smaller size is perfect for travel

Not sure if anyone else had this issue but for a 9x12 the pages are small, I buy 9x12 all the time and when I received mine the pages were smaller than my normal ones (which are the same brand, different series) I decided to go with a harder cover just because I sketch on my lap from time to time. When I got it I immediately noticed the size, maybe that doesn't bother some, or its only my issue, but other than that I like the book, great hard cover, tooth a little smoother than I prefer. Overall its still a good purchase, and a good product just be cautious of size issues. I attached images one is both 9x12 books same brand different series laid next to each other, the other one is of the smaller one right on top of the bigger one showing the width being smaller, and the last one is to show the side of the page with both books opened to an untouched page.

I like the smoothness of the sheets for sketching. The paper feels really nice and pencil also erases easily.

Best size for a carry around sketchbook. I tend to draw large so anything smaller and I won't be able to fit my drawings. The paper is high quality and great for ink, charcoal, graphite, and a little watercolor.

Muy buen producto , para dibujo con lápiz y tintas

I'm absolutely loving this sketchbook! The paper is smooth and takes pen and pencil strokes beautifully. I haven't experienced any bleeding or ghosting, even with heavier use. The pages are also nice and thick, so I don't have to worry about them tearing easily. Overall, this is a fantastic sketchbook that I would highly recommend to artists of all skill levels. It's a great value for the price and has everything I need to capture my creative ideas!

I have yet to use this sketchbook as the instructor in an art class I am taking seems to have requested more supplies than necessary. However, it will get used once spring and summer roll around as it is portable and discreet to carry.

Love these sketchbooks. Good quality paper :)
