STRATHMORE Mixed Media Spiral Bound Notebook 9x12in
Pros: Love the size and smooth surface of the paper. Being particular about drawing paper, I really like the size and smoothness of the paper. I’m picky about drawing paper and prefer mixed media because it’s easy to erase on and feels nice to draw on. Also, I prefer spiral-bound over hardbound notebooks. It helps me focus more on being creative and less on being perfect.
Cons: The size I use isn’t travel-friendly and doesn’t have a hard binder. Meaning, these sketchbooks are not going to handle rough use over time and still look nice on a shelf. They bend and warp and papers can even come loose. These notebooks are meant to be destroyed and used with much love. So if you are in the market for a hardbound study drawing journal – this won’t match.
