Anupam Sketch-O Sketchbook 140gsm, 50 Sheets, A3

A large A3 spiral-bound sketchbook from Anupam with 140gsm acid-free paper, built for big, expressive sketches.

• A3 size, the largest format in the Sketch-O sketchbook line
• 140gsm acid-free paper across 50 sheets
• Spiral or wiro binding that allows the book to lie flat while working
• From Anupam, an established Indian stationery and sketchbook brand
• Suited to pencil, pen, ink and light wash work thanks to the heavier paper weight

The A3 format gives you real room to work, which matters for figure studies, landscape sketching, architectural drawing or any subject where a small pad forces you to compress the composition. At 140gsm, the paper is noticeably sturdier than typical notebook paper, so it can take pencil shading, pen and ink linework and even a light watercolour or ink wash without buckling as much as thinner sheets would.

Acid-free paper means finished sketches resist yellowing over time, which is worth having if you plan to keep a sketchbook as a long-term record of your practice rather than a disposable pad. The spiral binding lets the book open completely flat on a table or easel and fold back on itself for standing sketch sessions, and at 50 sheets there is enough capacity for a full sketching project or several weeks of regular practice before needing a replacement.

For students, the larger surface is also useful for classroom still-life sessions, group critique work or portfolio pieces that need enough visual space to hold a full composition, while hobbyists may simply prefer the room an A3 page gives for loose, expressive mark-making that a smaller pad would cramp. It is a straightforward, no-frills sketchbook built around the paper quality and page size that matter most for serious drawing practice.
