### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Derwent Sketch Pad A4 Portrait 30 Sheets
*by Q***A on 29 August 2025*

Good quality sketch pad for a beginner. A4 pages so plenty of space to practice. Texture and thickness are as expected for a basic sketch pad. Using this with pencils and it holds up well to rubbing out my many mistakes. Price point at time of purchase very reasonable. Satisifed customer.
