Sakura Sketch Book 13 × 21 cm, Black Hardback, Cream Paper 140 gsm

Sakura Sketch Book 13 × 21 cm – hardback sketchbook with cream paper

The Sakura Sketch Book in 13 × 21 cm is a sketchbook and notebook with a black hard cover and cream pages. The paper is 140 g/m² and acid-free. It suits drawings in ink, pencil, oil pastel and charcoal, as well as Sakura pens such as Pigma Micron or Gelly Roll.

The book is compact and easy to carry in a bag. An elastic closure keeps it shut. The cream pages give drawings a warm background tone. If you prefer to work on a dark background, the range is also available with black pages.

Features in everyday use

According to the manufacturer, the pen holder on the book fits pens such as Pigma Micron and Gelly Roll, so you have your pen and sketchbook together. In the fold-out pocket at the back you can keep loose sketches, notes or reference photos. The illustrated dust jacket can be used as a bookmark.

Which techniques suit it?

The manufacturer lists ink, pencil, oil pastel and charcoal, as well as Sakura products such as Pigma Micron, Pigma Brush, Koi Coloring Brush Pen, Gelly Roll, Permapaque and Cray-Pas. At 140 g/m², you should be careful with very wet techniques such as thickly applied watercolour, because thinner paper can buckle. A short test stroke on one page shows you beforehand how your pen behaves on the paper.
