Box Contains 1 x Strathmore Toned Sketch Spiral Paper Pad 5.5-inch x 8.5-inch Review: Good quality paper - I'm using this sketchbook to learn to sketch with inks and markers. The tone is beautiful, and the paper feels good and on the rough side. It's an A5 size, and the coil is good. I feel it will be good for pencils and coloured pencils, not so sure about watercolour. Warm grey markers look good on the tone. This is not on the book, but I wish I knew this when I bought it: - The paper is thick-ish, but both markers and pens like the Staedtler lumocolor would bleed through and show on the other side of the paper. The bleed isn't massive, but still noticeable. Shouldn't be terrible for practicing lines, but you don't want this type of bleed on your good drawings. - The Staedtler fine liner 0.3 (don't have thicker ones) struggles with the ink flow because of the roughness of the paper. I am still using them though, but the line gets breaky sometimes. Maybe a 0.5 would fare better! The 0.3 works great on smoother paper. Review: Very good - The paper is of excellent quality and quite suitable for sketching. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Strathmore | | Colour | Toned Tan | | Material | Paper | | Paper Dimensions | 5.5 x 8.5 inches | | Paper finish | Uncoated | | Product dimensions | 21.6L x 14W centimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Strathmore - **Colour:** Toned Tan - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Dimensions:** 5.5 x 8.5 inches - **Paper finish:** Uncoated ## Images ![Toned Tan Sketch Pad 5.5X8.5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71I4QpdcoaL.jpg) ![Toned Tan Sketch Pad 5.5X8.5 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/314AahWFlxL.jpg) ![Toned Tan Sketch Pad 5.5X8.5 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31d9hKO9TQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type, Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there any nudity in this book? Hoping for a family friendly gift option...** A: Bare pages! Every single one of ‘em! 100 paper porn! Probably not the best choice as a family friend gift option... but then again... why not? You can always cover the pages with black charcoal sketches and make it family friendly! **Q: do you have to be good at drawing?** A: Nope! But filling these with drawings, especially drawing things you can see in front of you, will slowly make you good at drawing. personally Strathmore makes my favorite sketch paper. Something about its texture and how it picks up your pencil/ink is just "right" to me. **Q: will pens bleed through these paper pads** A: I actually have not tried pens on the sketch pad , but I can say that the sheets are pretty thick and you might not encounter that problem. **Q: This pad is good enough for watercolors?** A: No, this is not the right type of paper for watercolor. You'll want to look for a book/pad with 140 lb. watercolor paper. If the artist doesn't paint too "wet" you can also look at the Mixed Media sketchbooks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality paper *by R***R on 19 April 2022* I'm using this sketchbook to learn to sketch with inks and markers.
