Derwent Drawing & Sketching Paper, Sketch Pad, A4, 165gsm, 30 Sheets

I’ve been using this sketch pad for both pencil and ink work, and I’m really pleased. The acid-free paper feels smooth yet has just enough tooth for clean lines. I like the wire binding because I can easily flip pages back while working outside. The pages are sturdy enough to handle light washes of watercolour, too, though they do warp a little if you go heavy on water. It’s become my go-to pad for everyday sketching and practice pieces. I’ll be picking up another one once I fill this one up.

I couldn’t be happier with the Derwent A4 Portrait Sketch Pad—it’s quickly become my go-to for both drawing and writing. The 30 sheets of acid-free paper offer a smooth, even texture that handles pencil, charcoal, and ink beautifully, without bleed-through or feathering. The wire-bound spine is a thoughtful touch, allowing the pad to lay completely flat—ideal for detailed work or comfortable writing. The professional quality is immediately obvious, the paper feels substantial, and it adds an extra sense of pride to every piece I create. Highly recommend this for anyone serious about their sketching or journaling—it’s a fantastic canvas for creativity!

Brilliant drawing pad & very high quality drawing paper with great price & fast delivery

Happy with the paper quality but there's no perforations for a straight, clean tear when removing pages like most sketch pads which is disappointing

Good quality sketch pad for a beginner. A4 pages so plenty of space to practice. Texture and thickness are as expected for a basic sketch pad. Using this with pencils and it holds up well to rubbing out my many mistakes. Price point at time of purchase very reasonable. Satisifed customer.

Love this pad. Coloured pencil layers well and allows for careful use of eraser. Haven’t tried watercolour yet but I’m sure it will take light washes easily. Will purchase again

Holds well

I’ve been buying this exact pad from this maker for years . Taught myself to draw years ago when I was dealing with mental health problems and this was the first pad I bought . I love the size and quality of the paper . And as I’ve kept all my drawings they stack pretty neatly all being the same . Will definitely continue to buy more .

What one expects. Nothing complicated or worthy to note. solid buy

الحجم صغير وعملي حلو تاخذونها معكم اي مكان الاوراق سميكة وجودتها ممتازة مش خشنه مره ولا ناعمه مره مناسبة للألوان الخشبية

Il prodotto è ottimo, adatto sia a principianti sia a professionisti. Inoltre il rapporto qualità/prezzo lo fa apprezzare ancora di più.

Super carnet à croquis vraiment idéal pour les fan de dessin papiers, j’adore vraiment le grain que ça fait dans le carnet super super je recommande !!

Muy recomendado para boceto, papel muy gruerso, ocupe marcadores muy fuertes y lo resistió, pero en excesos si se puede llegar a traspasar, pero es muy versatil y de buena textura.
