The hot-pressed finish takes ink and graphite so smoothly that my line work has never looked cleaner, and the 150 GSM weight holds up to heavy shading without buckling. Fifty sheets is plenty for a solid month of daily practice, though I wish the pack came with a few extras for the price I paid.

I’ve been sketching daily for a few weeks now and this A4 pad is exactly what my desk needed. The 150 GSM sheets hold up to heavy shading without curling, and I love that it’s FSC certified so I don’t feel guilty about going through it so fast.

The hot-pressed finish takes pencil and ink beautifully without any annoying tooth, and the ivory tone gives sketches a warmer feel than plain white. Fifty sheets of this weight should last me a good while, especially since the A4 size is perfect for my portfolio work.
