![]() If you're anything like me and have a hard time actually completing a sketchbook (and thus feeling like you've wasted money) the 7x10 is very easy to fill because it's got less page real estate and less pressure. ![]() My advice is always go for smaller than letter size, but not super small unless you're explicitly favoring super small. I think the only one that really warrants it's price tag are those Arches watercolor blocks, but I legit only ever bought those for school as required materials and while it's great, I'd likely not buy again unless I was doing commissioned work.įor educational and practice purposes, Canson XLs are my go-to and I tend to go for the slightly smaller 7x10in books. I feel like I found the same exact quality in several other sketchbooks along the years with maybe 1/4 the price. They lay flat, sure, the paper is acid-free, sure, but they aren't worth the price tag at all. I also want to add on the opposite end, though (and some people may disagree but YMMV,) on the high-end, I found moleskines and rhodias (? pretty sure it was rhodia) to be stupid expensive and very much not worth the price. I haven't used the Strathmore equivalent, but I've used older Strathmore in the past and they were just the same as Canson, quality-wise. I want to second what /u/DankDespot said and vouch for the Canson XL pads.
