Mixed Media Sketch Book A3 Portrait - 80 Pages (40 Sheets) 150gsm White Cartridge Paper

I bought this for my ten-year-old nephew for his artwork and it’s a really lovely sketchbook.The pages are nice and thick, making them suitable for a range of materials. It handles paint well, including acrylics and watercolours, as well as pens and other mixed media, without feeling flimsy.The cover is beautiful and the whole book feels solid and well made. The paper weight feels premium for the price, which was a nice surprise.Overall, it’s a great quality sketchbook and excellent value. I’d happily buy it again.I’m not an artist but I feel like I want one just because they are so nice.

My daughter needed an A3 sketch pad for her GCSE work, this is a nice robust sketch pad which has a hard front and back cover which is great for transporting to and from school.The paper is a nice quality and produces good ink and paint finishes.

Beautiful sketch book, good quality ring binding and paper. Would highly recommend

good quality paper, good size for price

I’ve been on the lookout for a sketchbook that strikes the right balance between quality and practicality and I finally found it with the Artgecko Classy Sketchbook. The A5 landscape size is just right for carrying around when I'm out and about, which is a huge plus for me since I like to sketch on the go. The 150gsm white cartridge paper feels really sturdy, and it holds up well to different mediums. I tend to use a mix of graphite, colored pencils, and even a bit of watercolor, and this paper handles it all nicely without warping or bleeding through.What I really appreciate is how smooth the pages are to work on. I’ve found that the paper grabs onto pencil and pastel really well, giving me more control over my lines which helps a lot when I'm trying to capture the details of a scene or an object. It’s also thick enough that I can erase without worrying about tearing the page, which is a must for me since I don’t always get it right on the first try.The 80 pages offer plenty of room for my ideas, and I love that it opens flat so I can easily work across both sides of a page. Also, the binding feels durable, so I don’t see it falling apart anytime soon. Overall, I’m really satisfied with the Artgecko sketchbook. It’s been a reliable companion for my creative sessions, and I’d say it’s worth trying out if you’re looking for something that feels classy yet stays practical for everyday use.

This is my third purchase of this sketchbook! I keep going back to it because it’s fantastic. The compact size makes it perfect for carrying around, yet it still gives plenty of space to sketch and jot down ideas. The paper quality is excellent—smooth enough for ink and markers but with just the right texture for pencil work. The sturdy cover and spiral binding make it feel durable, and it lays flat nicely, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a fantastic sketchbook for artists on the go or anyone who likes to capture inspiration wherever it strikes!I highly recommend!

Apparently this is the 18th time I have bought this sketchbook, which is reliable in quality and we've been pleased with them. The paper is good quality and reasonably heavy, although putting some card behind it is sensible if using alcohol inks or very wet media to avoid bleed-through. The binding lies open flat.

Love the quality of the paper and would definitely buy again

Blocco di qualità, ottimo per disegnare e fare mappe mentali

Obs, lite tunnare sidor, men inget problem. snabb och smidig leverans!

It’s maybe not for every artist, but I used for sketches so it works for me.Paper quality is good and it look exactly what I needed

Papier de qualité

Das Skizzenbuch macht an sich einen guten Eindruck.Allerdings hat es an einer Ecke einen ziemlichen Detscher abbekommen, sodass sämtliche Seiten an der Stelle Knicke aufweisen. Sehr schade, da es für eine Abgabe genutzt werden soll und es so einen schlechten Eindruck hinterlässt. Kann nicht genau sagen, ob dieser Defekt bereits vor der Lieferung (was ich aber vermute, da die Umverpackung nicht so beschädigt war) vorhanden war, oder beim Transport vom Lieferdienst entstanden ist.Zum Buch selbst:Das Papier hat eine schöne Struktur und Qualität. Der schwarze Karton an Vorder- und Rückseite ist leicht "meliert". Die Ringe sind auch in Ordnung.
