Before you buy

  • The listing does not give a lightfastness figure, so it does not say how well colors resist fading.
  • The listing does not say how many sheets the sketchbook has or give a paper weight.
  • The sketchbook has three paper colors, so try the same pencil on each to see how the paper changes it.
