Our verdictThis two-pack provides 200 sheets of dry-media paper at an aggressive price point per page. Given the lightweight 100 gsm stock, any application of wet media will warp the pages and cause strike-through. It functions best as an uninhibited volume pad for preliminary concept sketches and classroom exercises.Strathmore's compact 400 Series pad offers dependable paper density for graphite, charcoal, and pen studies. It is strictly a dry-media paper, meaning any fluid application will immediately bleed or warp the sheet. At under eight dollars for 100 sheets, it is an economical field sketchbook for drafting exercises.
Pros and cons
  • Low cost-per-page across 200 sheets
  • Top-spiral orientation avoids wrist drag
  • Standard 9x12 inch working area
  • Warps immediately with wet media
  • Prone to ghosting under heavy pencil pressure
  • Consistent tooth for graphite and charcoal
  • Sturdy wire binding allows flat folding
  • Accessible entry price for students
  • Strictly limited to dry drawing mediums
  • Small 5.5x8.5 format restricts arm movement
