About Sketchbooks

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Manuscript sketchbook open to 180 degrees?

Yes. We use an open binding — the sketchbook opens exactly to 180 degrees and lies completely flat without springing back. It’s convenient to work on a spread: the page doesn’t snap shut and nothing presses on your hand.

Are Manuscript sketchbooks suitable for watercolor?

Our sketchbooks are optimized for dry and mixed media techniques. Experienced artists do work with watercolor in them — but this requires knowledge of the material and technique. For those just starting out, we recommend liners, brush pens, markers, and pencils.

What materials can you draw with in the sketchbook?

Liners, brush pens, markers (including Copic), pencils, pens, ink, and watercolor crayons work great. Acrylic and alcohol-based markers are not recommended — they may bleed through the paper.

Can I order a sketchbook with a custom design?

Yes, we make corporate sketchbooks with custom branded covers. More details — in the For Corporate Clients section.

How durable is the binding of Manuscript sketchbooks?

The binding is designed for years of use. We use special silk thread and high-strength binding adhesive — pages do not delaminate or fall out. Each sketchbook undergoes quality control before shipping.

What is the paper density in the sketchbooks?

Cream-colored unlined paper with a density of 150 g/m². Cover — German cardboard 300–350 g/m² with matte coating.

What does the Manuscript logo mean?

Our logo — a black square — is a reference to Kazimir Malevich’s famous painting. Like the sketchbook covers featuring reproductions of great artists, it reflects the brand’s connection to the world of art.
