    Canson has been in the paper business for nearly half a millennium. This spiral-bound pad is one of the best sketchbooks for drawing on the go.

    This sketch pad features perforated sheets of 65-pound (about 244gsm) paper. Each of the 100 sheets of paper is 9×12 inches and is made of 30% post-consumer material.

    People love this book for its high-quality paper and agree that this is one of the best sketchbooks available.

    Things to Love
    • The size of this sketchbook makes it perfect for drawing on-the-go. It can easily fit into most bags and purses.
    • The perforated pages allow you to share your work with others or tear out pages that you may not be happy with.
    Things to Consider
    • The paper may bleed a bit depending on which marker you use. Be sure to do a marker test or put a piece of copy paper between pages to prevent any bleeding.

    If you want a long-time trusted brand, that is easy to carry around and works well with markers, this is the sketchbook for you.

    Read Reviews & Check the Deal →

     

    This simply designed sketchbook will protect your drawing in style. The book has 160 pages of 130gsm paper. The size of the notebook is slightly smaller than a half sheet of copy paper and the flexible cover will keep the pages protected against the elements.

    Many love this sketchbook for its smooth writing surface, making it perfect for markers without feathering on the page.

    Things to Love

    • The quality paper and simple design of this notebook make it a great gift for any creative person in your family.
    Things to Consider
    • The paper is thinner than other sketchbook pages so you may only be able to draw, sketch or paint on one side of the paper as your work may bleed through or warp the pages.
