FAQ
Our Sketchbook range was developed in collaboration with Singaporean artist and teacher Erwin Lian. As a professional artist and teacher, Erwin understood the benefits of using 100% cotton paper with wet-media, but was frustrated with the lack of sketchbook options on the market. Erwin took to crowdfunding, to make his “Perfect Sketchbook” a reality.
Erwin’s book used heavy weight 100% cotton acid-free paper that featured stunning hand-torn deckled edge paper and was finished with lay-flat binding for ease of use. The response was overwhelming. Today, Erwin works in collaboration with Etchr - Erwin focuses on design and innovation, and the Etchr team makes the Sketchbook range available to artists worldwide.

What is the size and weight of this sketchbook?
This is a B5 sketchbook (10.6 in x 7.3 in) and it weighs around 600g.
What are the paper details?
This sketchbook uses 300gsm (140lbs) acid-free, artist-grade, 100% cotton cold press Fabriano paper. It’s traditional white.
How do I choose between Hot and Cold press paper?
Cold press paper has a slightly textured surface. It is the paper used most often by watercolour artists because it's good for both not only large areas of wash but also for a good amount of detail. Also, the textured paper allows you to shape things easier!
Hot press paper has a fine-grained, smooth surface, with almost no tooth. It's ideal for large, even washes of one or two colours, drawing with pens and ink wash, and painting fine details. The smooth surface makes it easier to draw and shade with dry mediums.
Why is acid-free paper important?
The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton because it means the paper won’t turn yellow or deteriorate over time.
Do 44 pages mean 22 sheets of paper to use?
Yes it does! You can definitely use both sides of each sheet of paper - that's how good the paper is!
