8.5x11inches Hardbound Sketch Book, Spiral Bound Sketch Pad, 80-Sheets 90gsm Inner Paper, Acid Free Drawing Art Paper, Prefect Works with Kids and Adults
Overview
The KEVIN&SASA CRAFTS 8.5 x 11 inch hardbound sketch book is a mid-sized spiral sketch pad built for everyday drawing, school projects, and travel sketching. It contains 80 sheets (160 usable sides) of 90gsm acid-free paper with a medium tooth that holds graphite, colored pencil, charcoal and light ink well while resisting yellowing over time. The hardboard cover protects pages in a bag or backpack, and the spiral binding lets the book lay flat for comfortable two-handed work. This pad suits children learning to draw as well as adults who want an affordable, portable sketchbook for studies, quick sketches, mixed-media roughs and note-sketch journaling when heavier watercolor paper isn’t required.
