Page 3 of Sketch Pads & Books

Choose drawing pads for every home or office project

Drawing pads work well for more than artistic endeavors. Versatile sketching books let users take meeting notes, draft up project proposals, or test out new pens and hand-lettering techniques. Compared to standard copy paper, drawing papers offer enhanced resistance to smudging, tearing, and bleed-through, making them ideal for promotional posters and event signage.

Many notebooks and art journals feature acid-free pages, ensuring long-lasting color quality and crisp details. All-purpose sketch pads are compatible with a variety of ink and graphite-based materials, while heavier-weight papers support both dry and water-based mediums, including watercolors, pastels, and gouache. Paper styles include natural white pages, toned tan and gray, recycled newsprint, and heavyweight mixed-media sheets. 

Sketchbooks offer users portable convenience

Wired and hardbound sketching books are the perfect travel companions. Durably bound pads with reinforced covers keep pages safe and secure, or users can try books with ready-to-frame perforated pages. Those looking for extra inspiration have a choice of colorful notebook covers, including bold patterns, licensed character designs, and blank templates suitable for custom cover art.

Employees can also use pocket-sized books for tracking mileage and brainstorming while out in the field. Select books feature built-in pockets and elastic straps, perfect for tucking away loose sheets of printer paper, pens, receipts, and important client documents. Large-format drawing pads let artists sketch out life-sized subjects before taking to the canvas. Oversized pages work particularly well for collaborative team projects, allowing users to hang and display sheets vertically or horizontally on whiteboards or easels.
