Scholar Artist Pad Novice Sketchbook 130gsm, 50 sheets, Spiral, A5

Fifty A5 pages of smooth, everyday sketching paper in one spiral pad.

• 130gsm natural white smooth paper, Scholar's Artist Pad Novice line
• Spiral-bound with 50 sheets, A5 size
• Smooth finish suits pencil, pen and light ink work
• Nearly double the sheet count of the 25-sheet Novice pad, for longer use before a refill
• Compact A5 footprint fits easily into a bag or drawer

An A5 pad is a good match for pocket-sized practice: quick figure studies, doodles between tasks, or a travel sketchbook that doesn't take up much space. Scholar's Novice paper keeps things simple with a smooth 130gsm surface that pencil and pen glide over cleanly.

With 50 spiral-bound sheets, this pad lasts noticeably longer than the smaller 25-sheet version, so it suits anyone sketching regularly who'd rather not restock every few weeks. A solid, no-frills option for building consistent drawing practice.

If A5 ever starts to feel a little tight for a larger study, the same 130gsm Novice paper is also available in this store as a 50-sheet A4 pad, so you can size up without switching to a different paper surface. Either size works well as a first sketchbook for someone just starting to draw regularly, and both keep the same smooth, easy-to-erase surface that makes correcting a pencil line simple without damaging the page or leaving a visible smudge behind. Keeping both sizes on hand also means a smaller book for travel and a larger one for the desk, so there is always a page ready regardless of where you happen to be sketching.
