U.S. Art Supply 5.5"x8.5" Top Spiral Bound Sketch Book, 2 Pack, 100 Sheets Each, 60lb (100gsm), Acid-Free, Artist Sketchbook, Drawing Pad for Adults & Students

I bought these for the same reason as my pencil set — to get back into drawing after a very long break — and these sketchbooks have been a great companion. The size is ideal. They’re small enough to toss in a bag and take anywhere, but still big enough to actually sketch on without feeling cramped. I’ve used them for quick doodles, light sketching, and practice drawings, and they’re just easy and inviting to use. The paper quality is solid for everyday drawing. It handles graphite, colored pencils, and light charcoal well, and the spiral binding makes it easy to flip pages or work flat. The covers are sturdy enough that I don’t feel like I need a hard surface underneath. If you want something portable that still feels like a “real” sketchbook, these are a great option.

I like this brand of sketchbooks because the paper quality is superb. I've never once had bent binding and it takes quite a bit for pens and markers to bleed through. The smaller size is perfect for doodling in your spare time in which I do during my breaks at work. Fits in a back pack and easily stored when not in use.

Good deal, it's good quality I've drawn things on both sides of it and it doesn't bleed through very heavy and looks good. I think it's really important to start doing things like drawing in today's day and age just for the fun of it because we're all way too online and way too much on social media.

Wonderful paper, good weight and takes ink well without bleeding through. Good for sketching.

Good quality paper for Sketching. It’s Not Art/portrait grade for mounting but better than Notebook or printing paper. Spirals at the top don’t interfere with the side hand space. I like that this paper works with watercolors

excellent quality, sturdy book, Grand daughter loves it, She uses it for her sketches and first drafts of animal drawings. holds up well for pencil/marker drawings.

Bought this for my granddaughters that like to draw and paint. They like the spiral on the top of the page better than the kind that has spiral on the side. They appreciate that the paper does not bleed through to the other pages. I buy this every year for them as a Christmas present.

I bought these sketchbooks for my nieces as a Christmas gift. Both of them love to draw. The sketchbooks seem to be sturdy and I love that it is spiral bound at the top. The design of the sketchbook is very nice.
