Review: Perfect for drawing! - Probably one of the best sketchbooks I’ve had. The paper quality is thick, the size is good for carrying around and there’s so many pages it’s great. It’s a book you can just stick away and not have to worry because its hardback is forgiving. Really nice texture, you can tell it’s a bit more expensive than usual for the paper and all of my pencils look great on it so the functionality is definitely up there. Review: Great sketchbooks - This sketchbook has served me well, it’s small enough to take everywhere and pull out wherever I am. I have used alcohol markers, watercolour, coloured pencils and regular pencils in it and I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is minimum bleed ! I absolutely adore these sketch books, they’re fun to decorate with stickers on the cover or to paint on with paint pens. I believe there great value for money, and the texture on the pages is really nice. I highly recommend these sketch books to anyone looking for a new one, weather your a beginner or a regular sketcher ! ## Features - BLACK CASEBOUND HARDBACK – Greyboard core wrapped in warp-resistant Wibalin cloth, bound using traditional casebound methods; opens flat for working across a spread. - 170GSM CARTRIDGE PAPER – 46 pages (92 sides) of heavyweight cartridge paper with enough tooth and body to hold its own, page after page. - DRY MEDIA & LIGHT WASHES – Takes pencil, charcoal, pastel, pen, ink and marker confidently, plus light watercolour washes; for heavier wet media, our watercolour pads are the better fit. - ACID-FREE & ARCHIVAL – Whitened using an oxygenated process rather than bleach, not chemically treated afterwards, so finished work and portfolio pieces won't yellow with age. - BEST FOR ON THE MOVE – A5 fits in a bag without becoming a burden, ideal for students and everyday sketchers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IGCZ5MC | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,625 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 18 in Drawing Pads & Books | | Brand | Artway | | Brand Name | Artway | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 10,241 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W | 21.6L x 15.2W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Studio Casebound Sketchbook | | Manufacturer | Artway Ltd | | Material | Paper | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Dimensions | A5 | | Paper Finish | Premium Matte | | Paper Weight | 80 | | Paper finish | Premium Matte | | Product dimensions | 21.6L x 15.2W centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Professional art and design, serious sketches, and advanced hobby projects | | Sheet Count | 46 | | UPC | 634041188986 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Artway - **Colour:** White - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Dimensions:** A5 - **Paper finish:** Uncoated ## Images ![Artway Studio A5 Portrait Hardback Sketchbook, 170gsm Cartridge Paper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513VnFuBHoS.jpg) ![Artway Studio A5 Portrait Hardback Sketchbook, 170gsm Cartridge Paper - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ykrYHIpKL.jpg) ![Artway Studio A5 Portrait Hardback Sketchbook, 170gsm Cartridge Paper - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yB0ngZGOL.jpg) ![Artway Studio A5 Portrait Hardback Sketchbook, 170gsm Cartridge Paper - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51joJQbmK2L.jpg) ![Artway Studio A5 Portrait Hardback Sketchbook, 170gsm Cartridge Paper - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WLHhd9xTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size Name** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the paper good for coloured pencils** A: Hello.
