We love a thick sketchbook. There is something about a fat little book full of drawings that feels like a real achievement, and the Jumbo A5 gets you there. It is perfect for long trips, a full year of daily sketching or a single big project you want kept together.

Use it with graphite, fineliner, coloured pencil and inks in small amounts. Browse our visual diaries for more formats.

Why We Love the Jumbo A5

  • 360 pages. A year of daily drawing in one book.
  • Still portable. A5 keeps it travel sized despite the page count.
  • Toothy cartridge. Grips pencil and pen for confident lines.
  • A brilliant gift. Ideal for anyone starting a sketching habit.

How We Use It

Number the pages and keep an index at the back so you can find favourite sketches later. On travel trips, tuck tickets and maps between the pages and glue them in when you get home.

Keep wet media light. The paper is designed for dry techniques.
