We came out with our big format Sketchbooks last year and they are such a pleasure to use! We designed every detail, nice heavy board front and back covers for field drawing and sketching, exposed binding with lay-flat technology, and 50 very sturdy heavy weight pages perfect for colored pencils and graphite. The Black Sketchbook is a perfect specimen great for art students of all ages, in or out of school, and a solid choice for creative professionals that want something simple and well-designed. The Black Sketchbook is an easy choice for anyone who wants to explore their creative side, or as a gift to your favorite artist. Get one!
