These are the two sides of the same page! You can sort of tell there’s stuff on the other side, but only just. Once something is drawn on the back, the ghosting and minor indentations from the stuff on the other side aren’t noticeable anymore. Wetter, bristle-tip brush pens and water-based markers leave a sort of shadow on the reverse side of the page and can warp the page if you layer ink - but using these tools on both sides of a page doesn’t present any problems. If you’re mildly heavy-handed like me, inking with felt tip brush pens will leave a similarly light indentation. Regular inking ( Tombow Fudenosuke used here) is noticeable on the reverse side of the page, but not to the extent that it’s distracting to draw over. Pencil sketches mostly aren’t perceptible on the reverse side of the page unless you’re really digging in with that mechanical pencil, like the reverse side of above, and even then, the indentation is light and you’d only notice if you’re looking for it. It’s still a fairly smooth sketching experience using my preferred 0.5mm mechanical pencil.ĭespite feeling thin, mark indentation through the paper isn’t much of a problem. The pages are lightly textured, but don’t have enough tooth to be distracting. There’s another pencil sketch on the reverse side of this page, which you can sort of see. Pencil sketch in Artist’s Loft sketchbook. I expected to be disappointed in the same way I was with the Peter Pauper Press sketchbook. Wild!īut to be honest, even at this price, I was a little hesitant to buy the sketchbook because my big hang-up is paper quality, and feeling the pages in-store didn’t impress me. Though it’s without some increasingly common features like perforated pages and a ribbon bookmark, the Artist’s Loft sketchbook has more pages and is cheaper than the Punctuate. Stickers here by Alekivz, Houndsaint, Kelly Latham, JustaSuta, channelSQUARE!, and others.Ģ20 pages in a 8.5″ x 11″ hardcover sketchbook for $7 is stellar. I rarely have a reason to stop by Michaels, but I recently picked up this sketchbook because it looked like it could be a contender in my ongoing search for a Punctuate sketchbook replacement - and because it was shockingly cheap. Artist’s Loft is brand of beginner and hobbyist artist products by Michaels, a huge US arts and crafts retailer.
