3" x 4" Pocket Sketchbook Traveler Journal, 160 Pages, Black

This little Pentalic Pocket Sketchbook is a quiet overachiever. The 3" x 4" size is perfect for tossing in a pocket or bag, which means it’s always there when inspiration decides to show up unannounced. The black cover feels sturdy and sleek, and the binding holds up beautifully even with frequent use. The paper quality is surprisingly good for such a compact sketchbook. It handles pencil, pen, and light ink without bleeding, and the 160 pages give plenty of room for sketches, notes, doodles, and creative brain dumps. It’s ideal for travel, daily practice, or capturing ideas on the fly. If you like having a reliable little creative companion wherever you go, this sketchbook absolutely delivers. Small but mighty. 🖤📓

Perfect to have in my pocket to bring out at work during slow periods. I have carried this around with me everyday for a few weeks now and there is really no show of any damage or wear. The binding is holding up really well even when i pull the pages a little further back to draw closer to the edges. To be fair, I have only tried a pencil on the paper, but I haven't really noticed any smudging other than what naturally happens when drawing. The paper is surprisingly a really good quality for the price and fairly thick for the size of the notebook overall. I am only a quarter of a way through the notebook, but I will probably order one again once this one is full.

This is absolutely perfect. Its just what I wanted. Super tiny. Perfect for hip pocket, coat pocket, small backpack, etc.It's made well and feels rugged enough to be carried with me. Lots of pages and good quality paper. And I like the little elastic band around it to keep it closed during travel. Will certainly buy more as I need them.

This is an ideal pocket sketchbook to carry around and quickly capture art/nature/architecture ideas using a pencil or pen. And the paper feels so nice and smooth. Be careful tho with the media you use to do your sketches/artwork. Pencil, pen, microns, colored pencils work great. However, paper not thick enough for watercolor paint, watercolor markers, or alcohol markers. 🙁. They all bleed through. Oh well, I have many other notebooks that can handle all kinds of media!!😉 Would I order again - absolutely!!

This sketchbook is really tiny, 3x4 inches! I really appreciate the leather cover, it makes it easy to put in your pocket and gives it a fancier look. The paper is extremely good, it takes markers and inks well. Another thing I liked was the pocket in the back! You can fit a couple of business cards, your driver's license, and a credit card back there without much effort. Very convenient! I really liked this sketchbook, you can definitely take it on the go and sketch on the bus or the train. The price is really good for this high quality sketchbook, after receiving it I was surprised it didn't cost more than I paid since it does look very high quality! I plan to buy in the future!

UPDATED REVIEW: I’ve purchased a couple of these, and I really love them! The paper is decent, I would consider it to be a very smooth paper, slight tooth, but not a ton. It can take most mediums very well, but doesn’t stand out as a phenomenal paper for any. By that I mean, it is great for markers (my favorite medium in this book), but as you should expect with most sketchbooks it bleeds through, and it definitely sinks through very quickly saturating the page to the back. It’s good for color pencil, but don’t expect it to hold tons of layers with such a smooth surface. It works with watercolor, but dries quickly, and works best with light washes. Sketching and erasing will show some lines if your are heavy handed. Inking is smooth, but ball point pens can take a minute to start on this paper (they usually need a quick scribble to get going). All in all, it feels nice to use. The cover is pliable, making it easy to bend and manipulate if you’re like me and like to turn your sketchbooks while also staying close to your work surface. The covers do come with some dents and imperfections, I have received a pristine one yet. It doesn’t bother me because the cost is great, and lets face it, it’s a sketchbook and the cover will take some abuse overtime anyway. It just looks like a well loved book when I get them, and I think that’s kind of cool. OLD REVIEW: I really love this pocket sketchbook. I do wish I got a slightly larger size, and I still plan to, but I do love how small this is for quick sketches. My original intent for this sketchbook was to do quick daily drawings, and it has been great for that. I love the paper, very smooth, perfect for alcohol markers. I've used colored pencils with this as well, and they blend almost effortlessly! I would say for watercolor expect to only be able to use thin washes, and expect the pages to warp a bit, but the strap really does help flatten the pages in the end. The cover is really nice and flexible, able to fold over to the back. It takes some manipulating in the beginning, but you can get the book to lie mostly flat once you break up some of the glue between the sections. I haven't used the folder, but it seems quite room-y, and the book mark is great for helping you find your place quickly.

too thick for its size.. not comfortable for use

Good binding, good paper quality (though I keep away from watercolours/manga markers). Lovely materials. Dots are pale enough to allow drawing.

El tamaño perfecto! Hojas gruesas y de buena calidad. La pasta es dura y resistente. Hasta ahora le he dado un uso rudo y ha resistido Perfecto!

its very small. it will fit in your hand. that small. however, its got lot of pages, is very well made and paper quality is good. good for writing down everyday things to do.

This is great for anyone who comes up with drawing ideas and needs to jot them down in a quick sketch. The paper is nice and thick, no bleed through with pen or marker. The outside leather is nice to the touch and strong. The binding is also well-made, so don't worry about bending this thing back to work on one page. The elastic and bookmark are a welcome addition. I recommend this for any artist on the go, or just someone who enjoys making little pen or pencil sketches and fleshing them out later.
