- The Art of Selecting The Right Sketchbook for Your Art -

Here are some considerations to see before you choose the best graffiti sketchbook:

1.Paper Weight (GSM): If you are using thick markers or even something as light as paint, use a paper with sufficient GSM so that bleeding does not occur.

2.Size: Opt for a smaller size such as A5 that can conveniently fit into a purse for sketching on the move or a bigger size such as A4 or A3 for more detailed designs.

3.Binding Type: Spiral-bound types of sketch books can be easily opened and do not spring back making it easy for the user to do their sketches while those that are hard bound are resistant to damage.

4.Medium Compatibility: Pick sketchbooks that are made with the medium you want to use for example if it is an alcohol based marker or a pen or even acrylic paints.

- Why Graffiti Artists Need Specialized Sketchbooks -

Graffiti art is not the same as regular drawing. The spray paints and alcohol-based markers used are atypical materials that require thick paper that can contain saturated colors without bleed-through. 

Thus street art sketchbooks are made to:

-Emphasize and stand the bright and bold colors.

-Give a clean surface to draw accurate lines without errors.

-Allow page by page layering without tearing the sheets.

If you are working on your tags or your next mural, you may be sure that you can draw out your ideas in a graffiti sketch book clearly and meticulously.





- Sketchbook Use Strategies -

Here are some sketchbook drawing tips to get the most out of your drawing sketchbook.

1.Try out the materials: It is a good practice to try out the use of the markers, the pens, or whatever you are using and paint out the corner of the page to test because it may not work out well on the large canvas.

2.Layer with Care: If using markers or paint, one should apply many layers, allowing drying one before applying the other in order to avoid smearing.

3.Keep it Portable: Always carry around your sketchbook because inspiration tends to strike at unapparent times.

4.Dare To Be Different: Use that sketch book to play with new ideas, color schemes, and even designs that may not be used in the final work.
