Pro-Art Pro Art Hard Bound Sketch Book, 11 by 14-Inch, Black (110 Pages)

First off: I love this book. I am a multimedia artist who either uses watercolors or charcoals and pencils.That being said there are pros and cons;Pros:It looks really nice on the outside, it has a texture to it and a black gloss cover. There are a lot of pages. The pages themselves are rather thick, if you use pencils or pastels this will be perfect for you.Cons: The only con I have for it is that the paper is not thick enough to hold water colors, does that stop me from painting in my sketch book? Nope. Unfortunately, that means that my painted pieces often end up rippled or warped. This is only when i use a lot of water. If I use minimal amounts of water it is typically fine but might still have a slight ripple or sometimes (like with the Sailor Moon photo) the paint won’t stick, which sucks. I can’t complain too much because it clearly is not advertised as a “multi-media sketchbook”.This isn’t a con for me but it worth noting: this is not travel sized. It takes up my whole lap and is big enough that I will put my laptop on it and use it as a small lap table ? the size doesn’t bother me and I actually prefer it but, I figured it was worth mentioning. I’ll attach pics of what I mean about rippling and such.Don’t mind my photos too much, I’m on the messier side of arsty, the cover can easily be wiped down etc.
