Sketchbooks, otherwise known as sketch pads or drawing pads, are used most commonly by artists, architects, and students. The paper is thick and high-quality, meaning that pencils, pens, and watercolours glide over it without marring the layers and sheets beneath. A sketchbook is where your reality can be translated into beautiful soft line art, like sketching in a peaceful outdoor spot, or where you can create your own reality through design and imagination.
They usually contain blank pages, bound together either by spiral binding, hardback, or soft binding. Our range includes these choices, but also paper quality from between 110gsm right the way up to 300gsm, so your artist sketchpad can support the most creative mediums you sketch, splat, and draw across it. It’s versatile across inks, watercolours, pastels, paints, and pens, so you can explore your creativity with the correct tools and mediums for you. Our sketchbooks are also available in a variety of sizes, including A2, A3, A4 and A5.
So whether you're a professional artist or you enjoy getting creative in your spare time, have a look through our collection of art sketchbooks. At Ryman® UK’s competitive prices, you don’t have to create masterpieces and be a perfectionist every single time. Anyway, sometimes the beauty is in the mistakes!
