I've tried countless sketchbooks and Moleskine has been my favourite, I'm on my third one so far. It's perfect for pencil, pen, acrylic, watercolour, gouache. Be careful with wetter materials though as they may seep through the paper, but I've not had any major issues with this and can just stick something over the back of the page if it did bleed through. Well worth the investment though if you're looking for a good quality sketchbook. Review: Item perfect, delivery very poor. - My sketchbook is perfect, and will buy again. However, desertcart Prime delivery was very poor. I live at no. 21. The item was addressed to no. 21. Saw the van, got a message saying my parcel had been posted through my letterbox. Not there. No help from desertcart. The delivery driver had posted it into the house with a sign saying clearly No.19. Not the house with a sign clearly saying 21. I received my item 2 days later when they kindly brought it round. Not fair on the seller to give them less than 5 stars, but I think it needs pointing out. ## Features - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - An excellent paper support thanks to the pigmented pulp, which makes this rich sketch-grade paper stand up to eraser use and provides a great base for all instruments - This notebook is suitable for beginners and professionals for sketches, drafts, drawings and designs with various writing and design instruments by Moleskine - This sketchbook is available in Medium size 11.5 x 18 cm, 88 pages - This sketchbook comes with a hard cover and is available in colour black - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Q47ZXN8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 122,859 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 409 in Drawing Pads & Books | | Binding | Diary | | Brand | Moleskine | | Brand Name | Moleskine | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 980 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08053853603098 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 11.5L x 11.5W centimetres | | Item Weight | 227 g | | Manufacturer | MOLESKINE | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pages | 192 | | Number of items | 1 | | Pages | 192 | | Ruling Type | College | | Ruling type | College | | Style | Portable | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Binding:** Diary - **Brand:** Moleskine - **Colour:** Black - **Number of items:** 1 - **Pages:** 192 - **Product dimensions:** 11.5L x 11.5W centimetres - **Ruling type:** College - **Sheet size:** 11,5 cm x 18 cm - **Style:** Portable - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![Medium Size 11.5 x 18 cm Art Sketchbook, Sketchbook for Drawings, Paper Suitable for Pencils, Pastels, Fountain Pens and Markers, Hard Cover, Colour Black, 88 Pages - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81T9bcARD4L.jpg) ![Medium Size 11.5 x 18 cm Art Sketchbook, Sketchbook for Drawings, Paper Suitable for Pencils, Pastels, Fountain Pens and Markers, Hard Cover, Colour Black, 88 Pages - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aXl0h1WoL.jpg) ![Medium Size 11.5 x 18 cm Art Sketchbook, Sketchbook for Drawings, Paper Suitable for Pencils, Pastels, Fountain Pens and Markers, Hard Cover, Colour Black, 88 Pages - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SOowPseEL.jpg) ![Medium Size 11.5 x 18 cm Art Sketchbook, Sketchbook for Drawings, Paper Suitable for Pencils, Pastels, Fountain Pens and Markers, Hard Cover, Colour Black, 88 Pages - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61x6LVub5WL.jpg) ![Medium Size 11.5 x 18 cm Art Sketchbook, Sketchbook for Drawings, Paper Suitable for Pencils, Pastels, Fountain Pens and Markers, Hard Cover, Colour Black, 88 Pages - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614mIvNEljL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How thick is the paper** A: At a guess it’s about 140gmsor more. Certainly not paper thin at 80gms. Myself and daughter use these for watercolour painting, charcoal, ink and felt pens. Works well for all. **Q: is it bleed proof?** A: I’ve used coloured brush pens and and ink pens and haven’t had any bleed through at all. I haven’t used paints in it so don’t know if they do or not. **Q: What's the texture like please? i need something that isn't too smooth. i know these are popular but i don't care about copics etc, i use pencils.** A: It is rather smooth. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic sketchbook *by T***A on 21 June 2025* Best quality sketchbook I've ever used.
