Soucolor 9" x 12" Sketch Book, 100 Sheets Top Spiral Bound Sketch Book, Acid Free, 70lb/100gsm Thick Paper Art Sketch Pad for Kids, Adults and Artists, Professional Art Supplies for Beginners

I purchased this Soucolor 9” x 12” sketchbook as part of a birthday gift for my daughter. My first impression is very positive. The sketchbook arrived well packaged and in great condition. I like that it has a sturdy top spiral binding and plenty of pages, which is perfect for practicing and trying different ideas. The paper feels nice and thick, and I appreciate that it’s acid-free. She hasn’t started using it yet since it’s for her birthday, but I’ll update my review once she begins drawing in it. So far it looks like a great sketchbook for beginners and anyone who enjoys sketching. This is an update, she loves the book, she gave it a thumbs up. See video.

Good sized sketch book

Don't purchase

I got this sketchbook for my daughter's art class, and it's exactly what we needed. I originally bought a small, thin one from Walmart that didn't hold up, but this sketchbook is a huge upgrade. The size is excellent — plenty of space for full drawings - and the pages are thick, sturdy, and perfect for sketching, shading, and even light markers. The cover feels durable enough to handle being taken in and out of a backpack every day, and the whole book has a nice, solid feel to it. My daughter was excited as soon as she opened it, and it's already becoming her go-to for class projects. If you're looking for a reliable sketchbook for school or personal art, this one is absolutely worth it. Quality is fantastic for the price!

I am really impressed with this sketchbook. The paper quality is excellent—thick, smooth, and truly acid-free, which makes it great for pencils, markers, crayons, and even light watercolor. The pages don’t bleed through, and they handle water surprisingly well for a sketchbook. Light watercolor or blending does not cause the pages to wrinkle too much, which is a big plus. I also love how portable it is. The size is perfect for carrying in a bag, backpack, or even holding in your hand while traveling. It’s lightweight but still feels strong and durable, making it easy to take anywhere—school, home, or on the go. The spiral binding is sturdy and makes it easy to flip pages smoothly or lay the book flat while drawing. Overall, this sketchbook is well-made, comfortable to use, and definitely worth the price. I highly recommend it for kids, beginners, and even experienced artists!
