FAQs

 

What is the difference between a sketch pad and a drawing pad?

Often the terms ‘sketch pad’ and ‘drawing pad’ are interchangeable but it should be noted that sketch pads are more intended for experimental drawings and rough practice sessions, whereas drawing pads are for proper artworks.

 

What is the best sketch pad for beginners?

Buy the best range you can afford in a medium weight paper 

 

What is the best size sketchbook?

It rather depends on what you want to achieve. A5 is small enough to transport easily but may not be suitable for lots of detail. Meanwhile, A2 is too large to carry around but good for larger, complex sketches.
