About Art-N-Fly Black Sketch Pad Mini 5.5x8.5" 2 Pack
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
88% praised the binding durability
The spiral binding allows for extra papers to be added and if it becomes too fat, pages can be torn off without the binding coming apart.
The glue-bound spine is a standout feature and the pages tear out cleanly and effortlessly, allowing me to showcase my artwork without any unsightly remnants.
The spiral binding allows it to lay flat.
79% liked the cover material's durability
The sketchbook is great for using colored pencils and metallic pens as they show up really well.
My sketches truly stand out with the striking contrast offered by the black pages of the sketch pad.
The cover material works well with my metallic markers and pearly watercolors. It is nice and black and has the right thickness.
89% appreciated the paper weight and texture
I found the quality of the paper exceptional with a striking contrast that elevates my sketches and makes them stand out. The sheets are thick and durable, providing a sturdy surface for various drawing mediums, including pencils, charcoal, pastels, and even light washes. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the paper held up to erasing and blending techniques without smudging or tearing.
The paper is substantial and sturdy, although not as thick as cardstock.
79% praised the size and portability, yet 21% found it too bulky
The sketch pad size is ideal for both on-the-go artists and those who prefer working in a studio. The 9x12 inch dimensions strike the perfect balance, offering ample space for detailed illustrations while remaining compact enough to fit into a bag or backpack.
I wanted a portable sketchbook to practice techniques without a huge investment before getting serious about making portraits.
When tearing paper from the pad at the perforation, it becomes less than 11.5" in its longest dimension and does not fill a 9"x 12" frame.
