9 x 12 Artist Sketch Pads — 160 Sheets (2-Pack) for Drawing
Product description
What’s included: two spiral-bound sketch pads, each measuring 9 inches by 12 inches and containing 80 sheets, giving a total of 160 sheets for projects and practice.
Paper quality: the pages are 68lb (100gsm) weight, sturdy enough for regular erasing and reworking. The surface has a fine tooth that holds graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, and wax crayons well while minimizing smudging. The paper is acid-free (pH neutral) to help preserve artwork over time.
Suitable media: optimized for dry techniques — pencils, mechanical pencils, charcoal, colored pencils, crayons, and most sketching pens — and it tolerates light applications of marker or ink if used carefully. It’s not designed for heavy wet media but stands up to modest washes without severe buckling.
Format and handling: each pad is top-spiral bound so pages can be flipped cleanly and lie flat while drawing. The binding style works comfortably for right- and left-handed users and helps keep sheets aligned while working.
Support & service: the manufacturer offers customer support for product concerns. If a defect appears or you have questions about the pads, they invite contact to resolve issues.

Reliable for sketches
Good-weight paper that handles sketching tools well. Markers don’t bleed through under normal use.

James Volbrecht 5/5
Perfect for pattern sketches
Heavy pages that are easy to erase and trace from; excellent for drafting leathercraft patterns. The pad should last a long time with pencil-only use.

The paper is smooth and reasonably thick, and the covers are attractive and sturdy. This set includes two pads with large sheet counts, and the surface works well with colored pencils and markers.

Binding problem
One pad arrived with the spiral not properly closed, leaving loose pages that shift while drawing. I couldn’t fully fix the wire, so it’s been set aside. Check the binding on arrival before using.

Paper weight and overall construction meet my expectations for a sketchbook at this level.

Thick, abundant pages
Excellent for an artist who wants lots of usable pages. The paper is thick and resists slight wetting without warping badly.

Sturdy for pen work
I like these pads for gel pens and markers — the pages don’t bleed through or crinkle when carried around. Corrections hold up if I use a white pen and let it dry. Colored pencils need heavier pressure to pop, but pens give clean, consistent lines.
