Review: Lovely quality sketchbook, great for mixed media - I bought this for my ten-year-old nephew for his artwork and it’s a really lovely sketchbook. The pages are nice and thick, making them suitable for a range of materials. It handles paint well, including acrylics and watercolours, as well as pens and other mixed media, without feeling flimsy. The cover is beautiful and the whole book feels solid and well made. The paper weight feels premium for the price, which was a nice surprise. Overall, it’s a great quality sketchbook and excellent value. I’d happily buy it again. I’m not an artist but I feel like I want one just because they are so nice.
Review: Affordable and good quality. - This is my third purchase of this sketchbook! I keep going back to it because it’s fantastic. The compact size makes it perfect for carrying around, yet it still gives plenty of space to sketch and jot down ideas. The paper quality is excellent—smooth enough for ink and markers but with just the right texture for pencil work. The sturdy cover and spiral binding make it feel durable, and it lays flat nicely, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a fantastic sketchbook for artists on the go or anyone who likes to capture inspiration wherever it strikes! I highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sketchbook, produced in UK, for a great price!
*by L***H on 19 August 2018*

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!
