Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Pocket (3.5" x 5.5") Plain/Blank, Black, 80 Pages

I bought this product after I was pleased with the larger "Moleskine Sketchbook Large". It's size is perfect for keeping in your front or back pocket, while being big enough to allow for two or three small doodles per page.My favorite feature about this book is that every two pages are nearly seamlessly connected. This allows me to sketch full landscapes across two pages.I myself use this book to draw landscapes, and use the individual pages for single doodles or sketches. I also favor the strap, which just looks cool, and helps keep it closed. The yellow pages are also a joy, as they give the art it's own artsy flavor that white pages can'.A must buy for anyone who needs a good pocket sized note/sketch book. I also suggest that you get the "Moleskine Sketchbook Large" as a companion.As a final note, I use the product "Pilot VBall Liquid Ink Stick Roller Ball Pen, Micro Point, 0.50 mm, Black Barrel, Black Ink 12-Count (53206)" For my drawings, which works fluidly and never breaks or scratches.

Amazing little book. This is my first time owning a Moleskine and I have to say that I'm in love. The pages are thick and smooth, they hold up to ink very well, with no bleeding through to the other side. I haven't tried paint on the pages yet, but I've seen others do it and they were amazed as well at how well the pages held up. The little pop out pocket in the back is very useful for small pieces of paper and the paper ruler they give you actually comes in handy for a few things. The strap that keeps the book closed when not in use is also a very helpful addition. This is a durable little book. All in all this product is amazing and I'd recommend Moleskine notebooks to everyone, especially artists out there looking for a good companion <3

This has been my go to notebook for about twenty years. Suitable for writing or drawing. A sturdy design that holds up to daily use and travel. The bookmark ribbon and back page pocket complete the package.

I find this sketchbook perfect. I like to carry around a small sketchbook with a pen to sketch new architectural ideas and concepts as I think of them or see them, as well as write different thoughts into it. This pocket sketchbook was smaller than I expected, but it turned out to be the perfect size for use. Some people say that the paper was too yellow and weren't warned about it. The other pictures I saw online clearly showed a yellow tint, and I personally love it. It gives a different character and feel for the book. It takes ink very well. I've done some calligraphic writing in it, so sometimes the ink needs a few seconds to dry, but it takes it well. The thick pages keep bleeding away, so you don't get annoying lines from ink on your new pages. I think this pocket sketchbook is perfect for anyone that wants to carry it around for everyday use.

Love this size sketchbook. Quality of paper is good for Posca pens and I like the closure. The only problem I have is the price. Compared to just a few years ago these have doubled + in price no matter where you shop.

Ive had my Moleskine notebook for about seven months now. Ive used it for sketches, notes from work and the random story ideas that hit me every now and then. Considering I carry it with me in my scrubs (where it frequently bangs into shelves and corners) on a daily basis, its in remarkably good condition, hell it looks practically Iike new. The ink only really bled through the one time I made the serious mistake of coloring in a page wide drawing in black sharpie. Dont do that and you needn't worry about bleed through.It is a tough durable and most importantly, reliable companion.Also people dont have the same negative reaction to a guy pulling out a notebook to write down some notes as they do to a guy pulling out a cellphone to take those same notes in an app.Which is a massive plus in my book.If you need tough, durable and reliable buy this notebook.

This is a fantastic little pocket book. The item fits easily into a front or back pants pocket. The pages on the book are blank which leaves room for writing, sketching or anything your heart desires to jot down. Inside the rear cover there is a little pocket where you can stash notes, receipts or anything that you don't want to lose. I has a book mark string to keep you organized as well as an elastic band that secures the notebook closed.when not in use. It is a sleek and classy looking notebook. You will not be disappointed.

I've used these things for the last... 25 years. (Wow!) They're solid, they absorb ink well, they're good quality. They don't bleed onto other pages so you can use back and front. They're WORTH the money.
