    Agree completely with using smaller size paper/sketchbooks as beginner…it made huge difference in my approach.

      For me is the other way arount. Small sketchbooks intimidate me much more than an a4 or even an a3

    I have a Hanemühle Nostalgie sketchbook that I'm very fond of. I miss having access to their papers, it's not very often you find them in Canada, and they are very expensive. That toned Strathmore one looks great! I'll have to pick one up next time I need a new sketchbook. That's for sharing your thoughts and sketchbooks!

    With everything besides painting and markers but especially for ink-work I like the Leuchtturm sketchbooks. The paper is really nice for fountain pen, ink brush and pencils and I like the size of the big square one.
    For painting with water colour/gouache I haven't found a "holy grail" yet, though I am also a bit more frugal with sketchbooks since I go through them rather quickly...I mostly to sketching and planning stuff in sketchbooks, less finished pieces.

    • @sofiapavanmacias

      I have heard a lot of good things about the Leuchtturm sketchbooks but I have never tried them! Thank you for sharing ☺️

    Thank you for these recommendations, and for sharing your work. I’m definitely going to make my next sketchbook purchase a toned tan one, now I’ve seen how much of a head start one can give to warm mid tones. Thanks again!

    • @sofiapavanmacias

    You should be tremendously proud of these sketchbooks. They are some of the nicest study sketches/pages I have seen online. I can't believe I have only just found your channel today, bloomin UA-cam algorithm. Keep up the great guides and work.

    Only 2 sketchbooks in, but I got the brands right and I feel like some kind of fancy ✨sketchbook connoisseur.✨ But no, it’s because I own and really enjoy both brands.
    Anyway, your work is lovely and I look forward to more.
