The paper has a nice, smooth surface that works beautifully for drawing, sketching, and other art projects. The pages feel sturdy and hold up well without feeling flimsy. The tape-bound design is convenient and keeps everything together while still making it easy to work with individual sheets. It’s a great choice for both beginners and more experienced artists. A quality art pad that I would definitely purchase again! Review: BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING, UNBEATABLE QUALITY! | In-depth Review | Rami Taha - Quality Rating: 5/5 Based on price: 4/5 Time with Product: 5 years (purchased in 2016) Review: Where do I begin. WOW. The quality of the paper is unbeatable! It is extremely smooth and durable. It is not easy to rip this paper. It has thickness to it too. I had to outline a few of my abstract art with a fine-tip marker and there was no bleeding on the back of the page. This booklet is absolutely amazing, it is great for sketching and it can withstand a lot of ink and a lot of graphite. The main reason why I decided to purchase this product was because I was using normal printer paper to sketch and shade in my art and the paper would appear like it was going to fall apart because there was so much graphite on the paper that it felt like the paper was soaked with water. It had that same feeling. Not to mention, all the graphite bled through the paper. For example, if I was working on a white wooden table and I was shading, There would be graphite marks and shades that had went through the paper. This product eliminated that! There was no more bleeding thanks to its great thickness, and there was no longer a weird texture while shading in that a normal printer paper would normally have. This is a high quality paper and I would recommend it to all artists who are serious about their work and their art. I would not necessarily recommend this for beginners because the paper is expensive and if you are at least not an amateur, it is simply unnecessary. You can get other great quality sketch books to practice on for much cheaper and you would not notice much of a difference in quality. I do notice the difference but that is because I have reached a point in my career where those small details matter and those small imperfections are important to me. WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST | EVEN FOR PROFESSIONALS: I would suggest you purchase two sketchbooks. One for practicing and daily sketching. Projects with an estimate time of under 10 hours. Then, I would purchase this high quality paper, and I would use it only for my serious pieces of work. Anything with an expected 10+ hours of sketching and work. I hope my review makes sense and helps you decide whether or not you would like to purchase this sketchbook.

The durability was great because I have a lot of traveling to do. In my option the paper was amazing for my sketches. I did so watercolors and the paper absorbed it all. Overall, its a rly good paper pad for a design class. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Paper Pad, Smooth, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 20 Sheets (100lb/270g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Markers, Pen and Ink - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack - Strathmore 300 Series Tracing Paper Pad, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 50 Sheets (25lb/41g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/3763358-300-series-tape-bound-bristol-pad-100-lb-smooth-surface](https://www.desertcart.be/products/3763358-300-series-tape-bound-bristol-pad-100-lb-smooth-surface) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
