Artgecko Mixed Media Sketch Book A2 Landscape - 80 Pages (40 Sheets) 150gsm White Cartridge Paper

This sketchpad is exactly what I was looking for. The product is exactly as advertised. The front and back covers are sturdy and with the gecko green page it's always obvious which is front and back. It has been a delight to get back into sketching and drawing without having to break the bank to do it. The binder holds all the pages together extremely well and despite my picture every page is A4 White. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to get back into the hobby.

Easy to use, great for calligraphy

Good quality A5 sketchbook! I do mainly watercolour, and it doesn't pill the paper, make it crinkly or bleed through. Marker pens will bleed through though, so definitely have some scrap paper under your page. Really great product though and I will buy again.

Unfortunately the A3 sketch pad I purchased was creased in the corners but the paper itself is so good! Perfect for illustration, if it wasn't creased. I think I was just unlucky.Without the creases a 5 star!

beautifully packed and deliverd safely on time.

Nice paper, perfect for what I do. Nice binding and cover

I’m not a professional artist or anything along those lines, so please bare in mind that this purely from a beginner hobbyist’s point of view.I ordered this because the reviews were good and the price was also great. The fact that it’s made by hand in Yorkshire, with British paper is a huge bonus - I love supporting small businesses!It came in a plastic wrapper, probably needed in Amazon’s Prime holding facilities as I’ve had plenty of grubby stuff arrive via Prime. I was instantly impressed the second I removed the wrapper to find the cover is beautifully tactile, and then I opened it up to find a green inside cover with another tactile delight for my hands to roam over featuring the artgecko logo.I was mainly looking for a sketchbook that I can practice sketching in, before transferring the ideas to watercolour paper for painting purposes, I’m not good with a pencil by any stretch of the imagination lol. And the paper has that slight bit of tooth that takes pencil nicely. I’m honestly amazed at the quality for the price!I had a bit of a play last night, and couldn’t resist testing my Gouache and watercolour paints on a sheet, not that I expected it to hold up at all, but figured it’d be good to know in case I want to do a light wash with a sketch or something. Surprisingly it took it ok, with zero bleed through, and while there is some ghosting on the reverse from my darkest Gouache paints, a bit of warping I’m still impressed because I wasn’t expecting it to hold up at all (I’ve included a picture of the reverse).I also checked out the company’s Instagram as the little notecard that came with the sketchbook listed their account and it was lovely to see their re-posting of the customer’s works in their books, as a small business owner myself social media done right is a wonderful thing, enabling us to develop better relationships with customers and giving the personal touch that being small gives the advantage of being able to do. Therefore if you’re considering ordering an artgecko sketchbook I recommend you go and see what their customers are doing with them over on Instagram as well as reading these reviews.I’m looking forward to filling mine in with my scrawls!

I haven't used this yet, but the quality is absolutely exceptional, and it's great to support a UK business. I was worried that as it's so large and narrow, given that it's A2, that it may get damaged in transit, my fears were needless. It arrived in pristine condition and I'm one very happy customer, I'll definitely be making repeat orders in the future.

It’s maybe not for every artist, but I used for sketches so it works for me.Paper quality is good and it look exactly what I needed

Papier de qualité

Das Skizzenbuch macht an sich einen guten Eindruck.Allerdings hat es an einer Ecke einen ziemlichen Detscher abbekommen, sodass sämtliche Seiten an der Stelle Knicke aufweisen. Sehr schade, da es für eine Abgabe genutzt werden soll und es so einen schlechten Eindruck hinterlässt. Kann nicht genau sagen, ob dieser Defekt bereits vor der Lieferung (was ich aber vermute, da die Umverpackung nicht so beschädigt war) vorhanden war, oder beim Transport vom Lieferdienst entstanden ist.Zum Buch selbst:Das Papier hat eine schöne Struktur und Qualität. Der schwarze Karton an Vorder- und Rückseite ist leicht "meliert". Die Ringe sind auch in Ordnung.
