The Speedball Drawing Journal is designed for professional artists and hobbyists who require a reliable, portable sketchbook for creative projects on the go. Featuring 140gsm acid-free paper, it provides a stable surface for various dry and light wet media, though heavy saturation should be avoided to prevent page warping. With its compact size, durable cloth-bound cover, and functional storage, it serves as an excellent companion for field sketching and daily illustrative practice.

It is not intended for heavy watercolor use. Light ink washes may be possible, but the 140gsm weight is best suited for dry media.
The binding is designed for portability and security, though like most hardbound journals, it may require some light pressing to lay completely flat.
No, the pages are bound as a permanent part of the journal and are not designed to be torn out.
The cover is a durable, high-quality cloth-bound material designed to withstand daily carry.
Alcohol markers will likely bleed through. It is recommended to use a scrap sheet between pages if you choose to use them.
Reduce the amount of ink applied; 140gsm paper is sturdy but can only absorb so much moisture before saturating.
Store in a separate protective sleeve within your bag to prevent contact with keys or other abrasive items.
To keep your Speedball journal in peak condition, store it in a dry, room-temperature environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the acid-free integrity of the paper. When using markers, always test the media on a back page to check for potential bleed-through if your techniques involve heavy layering. Clean the cloth cover by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the binding glue or fabric. When transporting the journal in a bag, keep it away from sharp objects to prevent the cover from snagging.
