Specifications: - Layout: Plain Paper- Dimensions: 5" x 8-1/4"- Hard Cover with elastic closure and bookmark ribbon.- Color: Red- Pages: 104- Internal Accordion Pocket- Paper Weight: 165 gsm/111 lb.; FSC Certified Paper; Acid-Free (pH Neutral) Review: Perfect - I have an art degree but now own two companies. In spite of that, I have realized that exercising the right side of my brain daily is imperative for business creativity and focus and also relaxation of stress. This is perfect for it because I can use any medium well and it's a great size for just getting some ideas going without being intimidating on having to fill a large page. I typically combine two pages together for something complimentary or even an entire scene if I really get going. It takes gesso well for painting or you can apply acrylic right to it. I draw with markers and oil pastels and pencils and more straight onto the pages.

In spite of that, I have realized that exercising the right side of my brain daily is imperative for business creativity and focus and also relaxation of stress. This is perfect for it because I can use any medium well and it's a great size for just getting some ideas going without being intimidating on having to fill a large page. I typically combine two pages together for something complimentary or even an entire scene if I really get going. It takes gesso well for painting or you can apply acrylic right to it. I draw with markers and oil pastels and pencils and more straight onto the pages. Holds up well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some ghosting *by R***A on January 11, 2026* Some ghosting if you use a dark pen, but the color is so pretty! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality satchel-sized very cute sketchbook *by D***N on March 22, 2012* Moleskine Hard Red for Art would be a decent sketchbook for those who want something that could easily fit into a satchel and has surface that is smoother and more rigid than stereotypical sketchbook paper. It is also pretty cute. If you are looking for something larger than pocket-sized but not as large as a letter-sized notebook, and willing to pay some extra bucks for quality, try this one. Some notes: 1. Paper thickness: Somewhere in between that of stereotypical sketchbook and Bristol board.\ 2. Paper texture: Pretty smooth. 3. Color of the surface: Although not well shown in photos, it is actually faint green tea. If you want a surface that is white, then this may not be it. 4. Using fountain pen: The photo that I have uploaded contains two pages using fountain pen. Because of the paper's thickness, doodles and writings from the previous page does not bleed through. Also, because the surface is pretty smooth, it provides an excellent surface for fountain pen. 5. Other instruments/media I plan on testing in the future: Dipping pen and brushes with India ink, colored markers and pencils, watercolor and acrylic paints. ****** Update: 04/18/2012 1. The faint green tea color of the sketchbook surface ... watch out: Be very careful with eraser. Rubbing the surface will fade out the color and reveal a white surface. So, if you expect to use eraser on a regular basis, look for a different sketchbook. 2. Applying acrylic ink and painting: The sketchbook page being worked on will warp, if acrylic ink and painting are used liberally. (Extrapolation based on my experience with acrylics: The same problem will be encountered by applying watercolor.) This is not a big deal, if you are using this sketchbook to experiment and to play around. However, if you want to do polished works using acrylics, look for something heavier. ## Frequently Bought Together - Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Plain/Blank, Scarlet Red, 104 Pages - Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels, 15 Colors - Strathmore 300 Series Palette Paper Pad, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 40 Sheets (41lb/67g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/618620-art-sketchbook-hard-cover-large-5-x-8-25-plain](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/618620-art-sketchbook-hard-cover-large-5-x-8-25-plain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
