Drawing Resouce #9?!
Hello everyone,
Would you like to draw while you are out (e.g., at the park), but you're short on paper (or if you don't have any at all?)? Do you think that it's expensive (i.e., amount, time, and/or money?) to travel around with drawing/painting equipment? Do you think that drawing requires to have large-sized paper, making you believe that it wouldn't be possible to fit in your pocket? No worries, these questions can be answered with two words (or one, depends on how people type/spell the word): sketch books (sketchbooks)! Sketch book (sketchbooks) come in various sizes, shapes, paper quality, and prices! Listed below are the sketch books I have used over the years (and continue to collect and expand my options!). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, or leave a message below! I hope this post was helpful! Thank you!:
-Moleskine brands-I use this brand because not only is the paper quality great, but also they make a small size (specifically, 3.5" x 5.5") that can fit in my pocket without being concerned about the sketch book itself (most Moleskine brands have a hard cover, elastic closure (keep it more secure), and ribbon (think of it as your "bookmark")). Any size is great, but I especially recommend this brand for the "portability" option: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&field-author=Moleskine&search-alias=books&text=Moleskine&sort=relevancerank
-Strathmore sketch book brand-I have used these sketch books for larger studies (and when I attended art classes). Paper quality is great (i.e., the higher their series number, the "better" the paper (e.g., 200 series is better than the 100 series; 400 series is better than the 300 series, etc.)). Strathmore comes in various sizes and binding types (glued or spiral bound), as well as number of sheets: http://www.michaels.com/sketchbooks-and-paper/sketchbooks/845166084#prefn1=brand&prefv1=Strathmore
-Canson sketch book brand-Another great series, I also use Canson not only for sketching, but also for other mediums, too!:

-Artist's Loft (Michael's series)-Great brand to use if you have a limited budget, or you're new/a beginner (or brand new) to sketching: http://www.michaels.com/sketchbooks-and-paper/sketchbooks/845166084#prefn1=brand&prefv1=Artists%20Loft
-Canvas paper sketch books by Cottonwood Canvas Notebook brand-My next sketch book is to use this canvas sketch book. It appears that you can paint, draw, and separate pages from the sketch book itself. This is ideal for those that want to paint "on-the-go," and want to have the painting experience without having to worry about the paper bleeding through (or if you don't want to carry canvas around). This brand comes in various sizes:
