DIY: Watercolor Pocket Sketchpad


I want to practice freehand urban watercolor sketching on an affordable sketchbook that I wouldn't mind messing around with. However, a Monologue A6 soft sketchbook is too precious because it's almost always sold out here, and a Moleskine watercolour pocket notebook is too expensive.

Since a dirt-cheap pocket watercolor sketchbook is not readily available, I decided to make my own. I bought a Canson watercolor paper pack with 10 sheets, which I cut into four pieces each. Then, I used a puncher and a spiral wire from an old sketchpad to bind them. I was able to make a 40-sheet pocket sketchpad, and even though it's still a crude version, it will do for now. :)
