Scholar Artist Pad Novice Sketchbook 130gsm, 50 sheets, Spiral, A4

A full-size A4 sketchbook with enough sheets to last through a whole term of practice.

• 130gsm natural white smooth paper, Scholar's Artist Pad Novice line
• Spiral-bound with 50 sheets, A4 size
• Smooth surface suited to pencil, pen and light ink sketching
• Larger A4 page gives more room than the A5 version for detailed studies
• Spiral binding lets pages fold back flat while drawing

When a sketch needs more room to breathe, the A4 size of this Novice pad gives noticeably more working space than a pocket A5 book, which helps with anything from full-figure studies to layout practice. The 130gsm smooth paper stays consistent with the rest of Scholar's Novice range, so pencil and pen both move across it cleanly.

Fifty sheets means this pad can carry a student or hobbyist through a full stretch of regular practice before needing a replacement, all in a spiral format that stays flat and easy to work in at a desk or easel.

The same 130gsm Novice paper is also available in a more pocketable A5 size in this store, so if you later want a lighter book for sketching away from your desk, you'll already know exactly how the paper behaves. Both formats suit pencil, pen and light ink equally well, and the smooth surface takes correction and re-drawing without wearing through, which matters for anyone still building up their pencil technique or working through a full school term of practice on a single pad, whether that practice happens at a desk or on the move.
