Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Sketch Pad, A4, Acid Free Gummed Paper Pad, 160 GSM, 40 Sheets For Graphite, Pencil, Coloured and Watercolour Pencils, Charcoal, Pitt Pens, Arts, Craft, Home And School

Love Faber Castell products. This book contains almost black paper, nice and thick, and a joy to work on. I used white water soluble graphite and it took it very well. Really good value for such quality. Would recommend.

A good quality and value paper pad, works well with even quite wet gouache.

Lovely to use , can erase easily, sketch with faber-castell pencil or watercolour pencils with confidence blending really good, fully recommen .

Lovely thick paper, and I have had some fun experimenting with drawing on this!Initially I was upset it is a ring bound sketchbook. The photos were not clear on this, however if I had read the description properly I would have seen that it did say it was ring bound! (duh!) I don't like ringbound as I loose some of the A3 size, plus it isn't so easy to remove as gumedged sketchbooks, but that's a minor issue and not why I have removed a star.The paper is lovely and thick, I do love a nice thick piece of paper to work from!The star removal for me is purely because it is so toothy! It wasn't too much of a problem with using the markers to do the light painting style drawing I have attached, but for the silhouette of the F1 car, where I used pencils, it was horrible! Far too toothy and I spent most of my time trying to fill in all the black gaps to make it look more "real", but I was left disappointed. I guess I will just have to do light painting style drawings until I find a smoother black! But the texture is personal preference and doesn't take away from the quality of the paper :)
