Review: Toned Tan Strathmore Delivers on Quality and Value - As an art hobbyist, this is an excellent book. I cant speak for people using this for specific professional tasks but for myself this is my favorite sketchbook so far. I tend to stick with Strathmore sketchbooks overall but have always bought the white page options, the tan pages in this book really make highlights pop and thats exactly what I was looking for. Shadows are as dramatic as ever but the highlights get a new life with the toned tan sheets. The book is quite sturdy and the pages hold up well to pressure while coloring. Speaking of colors it holds them great. I havent had it long but so far Ive yet to open up to a smeared page. It has a little heft in the weight of the book, and isnt flimsy at all. Its easy to pull out and use on the go. Great value for the price, and great purchase all around!
Review: Cute! - Paper is nice, color shows up well! Haven't had any bleeding issues!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there any nudity in this book? Hoping for a family friendly gift option...**
A: Bare pages! Every single one of ‘em! 100 paper porn! Probably not the best choice as a family friend gift option... but then again... why not? You can always cover the pages with black charcoal sketches and make it family friendly!

**Q: do you have to be good at drawing?**
A: Nope!  But filling these with drawings, especially drawing things you can see in front of you, will slowly make you good at drawing.  personally Strathmore makes my favorite sketch paper.  Something about its texture and how it picks up your pencil/ink is just "right" to me.

**Q: will pens bleed through these paper pads**
A: I actually have not tried pens on the sketch pad , but I can say that the sheets are pretty thick and you  might not encounter that problem.

**Q: This pad is good enough for watercolors?**
A: No, this is not the right type of paper for watercolor. You'll want to look for a book/pad with 140 lb. watercolor paper. If the artist doesn't paint too "wet" you can also look at the Mixed Media sketchbooks.
