Review: Makes Even My Doodles Look Professional - The paper quality in this sketchbook is brilliant — thick, smooth, and perfect for pencils, pens, and light watercolours. It doesn’t bleed through or wrinkle easily, which makes it ideal for experimenting. I love the sturdy cover and elastic band; it feels like a proper notebook you’d want to carry around and actually use. There’s also a ribbon marker to keep your place. It’s the sort of sketchbook that makes you want to draw more often. Even a quick doodle feels like it deserves to be kept. Review: THE perfect portable sketching companion! - Using this for sketching when out & about: it is the perfect size - a one page rectangle either portrait or landscape, or a two page spread almost square. The pages fold out flat so you can draw a double page. Paper is perfect - slightly off-white with a very light grain. This makes it perfect for all media (eg pencil - not softer than 2B as in transit you might get smudging if you handle carelessly - pen & ink - I like a dip pen Tashikawa G nip & Pelikan Tuche A inks, also have used a fountain pen with non-waterproof ink). The paper is heavyweight enough to use watercolour too - not really for super-flooded effects needing 300gsm true watercolour paper. Combines well with the Pentel Aqwash brushes for super-portability (I recommend the Schminke Horodam 12 colour box - top quality). With watercolour the paper crinkles a little but flattens gradually when the book is closed. This is much better than the smaller version Moleskine whose paper is too thin. Elastic holds the book closed well - I sometimes add my own thick elastic band if it is going to be treated roughly when travelling. Don't forget to scan & save your work from time to time - imagine the tragedy of losing a Moleskine full of work! There are plenty of pages - but not so many that you have a massive number of drawings (to potentially lose) in each book. Finally - the price is right! Overall PERFECT - I can't imagine anything better. ## Features - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - Sketchbook with pigmented paper suitable for using a rubber and offers an ideal base for all instruments such as pens, pencils, charcoal and fountain pens - Suitable for everyday use for all your drawing projects, personal thoughts, sketches, ideas; a blank pad to colour as you wish - Your sketchbook will be transformed into a collection of your works of art; let your imagination run free and create sketches and drawings of your world - Observe, imagine, sketch, draw on this album with quality paper studied specifically for the artistic professions - Practical, large size to carry conveniently in your backpack or inside your bag with 104 pages; dimensions 13 x 21 cm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 8883701151 | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,132 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 93 in Memo Pads, Notepads & Scratch Pads | | Brand | Moleskine | | Colour | black | | Cover Material | Polypropylene | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (7,874) | | Date First Available | 11 Feb. 2007 | | Item Weight | 354 g | | Manufacturer | Moleskine srl | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9788883701153 | | Material Type | Paper | | Model Number | S01151 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Paper Finish | Watercolour | | Paper Weight | 120 | | Product Dimensions | 13.34 x 1.65 x 20.96 cm; 354 g | | Ruling | Plain | | Sheet Size | 5x8.25 inches | | Size | Large | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Moleskine - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Cardboard - **Sheet Size:** 5x8.25 inches - **Paper Finish:** Uncoated ## Images ![Sketchbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ImyTM9LsL.jpg) ![Sketchbook - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Fi-5ZSs5L.jpg) ![Sketchbook - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ST88MUZ6L.jpg) ![Sketchbook - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bnmTo7rbL.jpg) ![Sketchbook - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611E0zZJvPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I want to use the Moleskine Sketchbook as an art journal mainly for collage and felt tip/gel pen writing. Would it be suitable for this? Thanks, Caro** A: Hi,This product has 100 top-quality acid-free pages which is suitable for all types of pens and pencils.Can I recommend the 'Moleskine Passion Art Journal' (ASIN No 8866131547)Kind regardsAlan DunningThe Malvern Bookcase **Q: is this an A5 sketchbook?** A: Not quite! A5 (technically) is 148 X 210mm. The moleskin sketchbook is 130 X 210mm **Q: Hi What’s the difference between this and the (non-“Art”) plain notebook in terms of paper?** A: I haven't tried the non art one but the art one has a very silky finish on stiff paper which is ideal for pencil drawing and pen and ink..if you want a texture for watercolours this is too smooth for that so water colour washes are a bit more random but still make for an interesting slightly mottled effect. These books are a quality product with nice details and stitching are pleasing objects in themselves. **Q: do drawings/writing etc show through to the next page? (a ghost image type thing?)** A: it depends on what you're using, i don't think pencil/graphite would show through the other side as the pages are quite thick, but i've done some work in fineliner and marker pens and you can see it faintly. it's not too bad though, nothing like when you use a felt tip on plain old paper and you get the bleeding through to the other side. when i scan the images i sometimes edit out any parts that you can kind of see, but it's not too bad, usually i'll leave it and it looks fine ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes Even My Doodles Look Professional *by D***W on 17 August 2025* The paper quality in this sketchbook is brilliant — thick, smooth, and perfect for pencils, pens, and light watercolours.

Overall PERFECT - I can't imagine anything better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Moleskine *by A***H on 14 April 2012* Throughout my student art days I've owned many sketchbooks of various sizes and quality (Usually bought based on the amount of pages and the price). This is my first Moleskine. I bought this Moleskine to try and get me back into the habit of sketching and drawing, and away from the computer screen. It's a lovely sketchbook, it's a perfect size to slip in a bag or big pocket. The cover is sturdy and has so far stopped any damage to the pages within. Inside the pages are a slightly creamy colour which took me a couple of minutes to get used to. But I don't notice anymore. The paper stock is pleasingly heavy and I have yet to experience any bleed through - even after using marker pens. I'm sure the pages will hold up to paint as well. The pages are bound so they lie flat while you work. I love this feature (I used to prefer spiral bindings). The binding saves you from breaking the spine by folding the pages the wrong way or by placing a heavy object on the corner of the page to keep the pages flat. It also enables your work to flow right to the spine. The sketchbook has a useful pouch on the back cover which I sometimes use to hold collected ephemera. There's also a useful band to hold the covers shut and a bookmark ribbon to mark your page - which I must admit I don't really use. I guess the only negative I can think of is the price, but it's a classy, high quality sketchbook. I'm no longer as prolific when it comes to churning out pages and pages of sketchbook work so I feel it will last me a while and the fact that it's got me sketching again is priceless. ## Frequently Bought Together - Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Plain/Blank, Black, 104 Pages - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack - Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Pocket (3.5" x 5.5") Plain/Blank, Black, 80 Pages --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/59089292-sketchbook](https://www.desertcart.it/products/59089292-sketchbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
