Scholar Artist Pad Sketchbook Novice 130gsm, 25 Sheets, Spiral, A4

A lighter, everyday sketchbook for beginners building a daily drawing habit.

• 130gsm natural white smooth paper, Scholar's Artist Pad Novice line
• Spiral-bound pad with 25 sheets, A4 size
• Smooth surface suits pencil, ink and light washes
• Spiral binding allows pages to fold back flat for easier sketching
• Compact 25-sheet count keeps the pad light to carry around

Not every sketch needs heavyweight paper, and Scholar's Novice pad is built for the kind of quick, frequent drawing that a beginner or student actually does day to day. The 130gsm smooth white sheets take pencil and pen cleanly, so line work and shading both look crisp.

With 25 spiral-bound A4 sheets, it's light enough to slip into a bag without adding much bulk, making it an easy pad to reach for whenever there's a spare five minutes to sketch. A sensible starting point before stepping up to heavier artist paper.

Once you've filled this pad and want more sheets in the same A4 size, Scholar's Novice line also comes in a 50-sheet option in this store, so you can move up in quantity without changing the paper you're used to. If A5 suits your bag better than A4, the same Novice paper is available in that smaller size too, and once you're ready for a heavier, more advanced surface, Scholar's 170gsm Artist Pad Advanced pad is the natural next step up for more detailed studies that need extra body in the paper, without changing the smooth finish you've already gotten used to.
