Overview

A top spiral bound sketchbook with 100 sheets of 68lb/100gsm acid free paper, sized 9 x 12 inches, with a diagonal tooth surface for graphite, colored pencil, charcoal, and light ink. It is not built for watercolor or other heavy wet media.

The diagonal tooth texture is the detail that matters here, since it is what lets the paper stand up to repeated erasing during figure studies or shading work without pilling. The top spiral binding sits above the page rather than beside it, which cuts down on the coil catching a drawing hand mid stroke.

  • 100 sheets, 68lb/100gsm acid free paper
  • 9 x 12 inch true to size sheets
  • Top spiral, lay flat binding
  • Double sided hardcover

Who it's for

Suits students, hobbyists, and beginners working in dry media who want a lay flat pad with removable sheets. Anyone planning to paint with watercolor or acrylic should look at a dedicated watercolor pad instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Lay flat top spiral binding
  • Acid free, bright white paper resists yellowing
  • Micro perforated sheets remove cleanly
  • Hardcover on both sides for durability in a bag
Cons
  • Not rated for watercolor or acrylic paint
  • Single 100 sheet pad, no multi pack option here

Performance notes

The 100.8gsm paper's diagonal tooth surface grips graphite and charcoal for clean shading while tolerating the repeated erasing that figure studies and landscape sketches involve. The top mounted spiral opens fully flat and sits above the sheet, which keeps the coil from digging into a left or right hand working close to the binding.
