Sketchbook ARRTX 18x18 cm — 56 sheets, square drawing pad

ARRTX sketchbook 18x18 cm — 56 sheets, square drawing pad is a compact, square-format drawing pad designed for quick studies, sketches and mixed-media practice. The 18 x 18 cm size offers a convenient portable surface that fits most bags and studio spaces. With 56 sheets, the pad balances capacity and portability, suitable for daily exercises, concept development and on-the-go creativity using pencil, ink, charcoal and light markers.

Advantages

The sketchbook combines a practical square format and a modest sheet count to keep the pad lightweight while offering enough pages for series work. Paper texture and weight are suitable for dry media and light wet-layer techniques, giving consistent surface characteristics for line work and shading. The binding allows sheets to turn flat for comfortable drawing across the page, and the compact dimensions make storage and transport straightforward.

How to use

Use the sketchbook as a portable practice tool for sketches, studies and preparatory drawings. Choose pencils, graphite sticks or charcoal for tonal work and line studies; use fineliners or fountain pens for ink sketches. If using light markers or light wet media, test a small corner first to check paper acceptability and avoid heavy saturation. Turn pages fully to take advantage of the lay-flat binding and work across the spread when needed.

Usage recommendations

Store the sketchbook flat or upright in a dry place to preserve paper quality. When working with erasers or abrasive tools, use a protective sheet beneath the working page to prevent impressions on subsequent sheets. For archival results, keep finished pages away from direct sunlight and consider fixing charcoal or pastel with an appropriate fixative.
