Pros & Cons
Pros
The journal is my favourite size and shape, the pages are smooth. The thickness of the paper is great. The book itself is a very lovely hard material, it's sturdy and holds the pages together very well.
The cover is a very nice almost rubbery material. The back pocket is rather flimsy, but its not a big deal for me personally. It is a bit bulky but the cover has a nice design and texture. The elastic closure is nice.
Hardcover sketchbook. Comes with a very thin plastic vinyl sheet to help protect the other side of the paper. Would reccomend as a general sketchbook, and works well for some illustrations as well.
Cons
I'm sure the sketchbook is adequate.
Highlights
Quality
Very impressed with the quality of paper.
I love everything about it from the size to the quality!
Shipping
The book arrived in its own box which protected the book from potential shipping damage.
Packaging/appearance
Super fast shipping in one day and excellent packaging - shrink wrapped and placed in a fitted box within another box.
An unexpected surprise inclusion was a plastic sheet to slip behind the sheet you're using to avoid any leakage.
Competitiveness
I bought this to use with my ohuhu alcohol brush markers.
This pad has the most blendable surface ever.
I noticed some white speckling with my more pale copic markers which is unfortunate but to be expected with more toothy paper.

I like to paint over both pages sometimes and was worried that the perforations on each page would be large and bumpy
