Drawing book SMLT A4 120 g glued – A4 sketch pad with 120 g/m² paper, glued binding

SMLT A4 Drawing book with 120 g/m² paper and glued binding offers a balanced sketching surface in a convenient A4 format. The medium-weight sheets are suitable for pencil, charcoal, marker outlines and light mixed-media work. The glued spine keeps the pages secure during transport and handling while allowing controlled removal of individual sheets for display or scanning.

Advantages

The 120 g/m² paper provides a stable surface that reduces bleed-through from pens and markers compared to lighter sketchbooks, while remaining flexible enough for erasing and layering. The A4 size is portable and fits standard folders and scanners. The glued binding ensures a clean edge and compact profile, making the pad easy to store and carry. Paper texture is compatible with a range of dry and some wet media when applied conservatively.

Suitable for

• Sketching and drawing with pencils, charcoal and pastels
• Preliminary marker work and ink outlines
• Practice studies, drafts and quick concept sketches
• Student exercises and classroom use
• Portfolios and removable study sheets

Key specifications

• Format: A4 (210 × 297 mm)
• Paper weight: 120 g/m²
• Binding type: glued spine for tear-out sheets
• Sheet count: suitable for medium-length pads (count varies by version)

How to use

Use the pad on a flat, stable surface to maintain even pressure and prevent accidental creasing. For dry media such as graphite, charcoal or pastel, work from light to dark and fix layers when necessary with a suitable spray fixative. When using markers or light washes, test on a corner sheet to confirm absorption and drying time. To remove a sheet, bend the page slightly at the glued edge and pull gently along the spine to achieve a clean tear.

Usage recommendations

Store the drawing book flat or upright in a dry environment to prevent warping. For mixed-media that includes heavier wet applications, consider using a heavier-weight paper; reserve the SMLT 120 g/m² pad for sketches, studies and light mixed-media techniques.
