Derwent Sketch Pad A4 Portrait, Drawing & Writing, 30 Sheets, Acid-Free Paper, Wirebound Spine, Professional Quality, 2300139

I couldn’t be happier with the Derwent A4 Portrait Sketch Pad—it’s quickly become my go-to for both drawing and writing. The 30 sheets of acid-free paper offer a smooth, even texture that handles pencil, charcoal, and ink beautifully, without bleed-through or feathering.The wire-bound spine is a thoughtful touch, allowing the pad to lay completely flat—ideal for detailed work or comfortable writing. The professional quality is immediately obvious, the paper feels substantial, and it adds an extra sense of pride to every piece I create.Highly recommend this for anyone serious about their sketching or journaling—it’s a fantastic canvas for creativity!

I’ve been using this sketch pad for both pencil and ink work, and I’m really pleased. The acid-free paper feels smooth yet has just enough tooth for clean lines. I like the wire binding because I can easily flip pages back while working outside. The pages are sturdy enough to handle light washes of watercolour, too, though they do warp a little if you go heavy on water. It’s become my go-to pad for everyday sketching and practice pieces. I’ll be picking up another one once I fill this one up.

Good quality paper perfect for beginners. Good texture

Is our 3rd one. Good quality . texture, thickness.

Great sketch book.

I’ve been buying this exact pad from this maker for years . Taught myself to draw years ago when I was dealing with mental health problems and this was the first pad I bought . I love the size and quality of the paper . And as I’ve kept all my drawings they stack pretty neatly all being the same . Will definitely continue to buy more .

Always my go-to sketch paper! Derwent is always a superior brand for artist tools and paper!!

A good buy.
