Butterfly sketch book

A sketch book you’ll actually carry

The best sketch book is the one you have with you. At A5 (14.8 x 21cm), this one fits in a bag, a backpack, or a large pocket, so you can draw on the bus, in a café, at school, or on a trip. The pages are blank, so you can sketch, doodle, plan designs, practise techniques, or fill it with finished drawings.

A5 is also a friendly size for beginners. A smaller page feels less intimidating than a large sheet, so it’s easier to start, easier to finish, and easier to build a daily drawing habit.

Tips for better results

1. Sketch often and keep it light. A small book makes it easier to draw a little each day.
2. Use a pencil for the first lines, then add ink or colour once you’re happy with the shapes.
3. Place a spare sheet of paper under your hand to avoid smudging graphite and charcoal.
4. Place a sheet of tracing or tissue paper between finished pages to protect them.
5. Test your pens and markers on the back of a page or in a corner first, since some inks show through thin paper.
6. Date your pages so you can see your progress over time.

• This sketch book is made for dry media. Heavy washes of watercolour or wet paint can cause the paper to buckle or bleed through.
• Alcohol markers and thick inks may show through to the next page, so slip a sheet behind the page you’re working on.
• Keep out of reach of young children.
