Overview
A spiral-bound mixed media sketchbook, 9 by 12 inches with 60 sheets of 98 lb (160 gsm) paper, for pencil, ink, charcoal and light watercolor work.
The listing leans heavily on watercolor claims, but at 98 lb the paper is lighter than a dedicated 140 lb watercolor pad, so heavy washes are more likely to buckle than on true watercolor stock. Where it does the job well is dry and mixed media: pencil, pen, charcoal and marker on acid-free paper thick enough to resist bleed-through, bound with a 360-degree ring so the pad flattens or folds back for sketching on the move.
- 9 x 12 inch pad, 60 sheets
- 98 lb / 160 gsm acid-free paper
- Spiral binding rotates 360 degrees
- Hardboard front and back covers
Who it's for
Suits sketchers and students working mostly in pencil, pen, charcoal or light color who want one portable pad for several media. Not a substitute for a dedicated watercolor pad if you're doing full washes.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Resists bleed-through from pen and marker
- 360-degree spiral binding for easy handling
- Sturdy hardboard cover protects pages in transit
- Works across pencil, pen, charcoal and light color
- 98 lb paper is lighter than dedicated watercolor stock
- Heavy washes may cause buckling
Performance notes
The 98 lb paper is thick enough to resist ink and marker bleed-through, and the hardboard cover and back protect pages in a bag. The wire binding lets the pad rotate a full circle, which is more about handling than paper performance.

Questions about the Mofuny sketchbooks & notebooks
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Can I use watercolor on this sketchbook?
Light washes work, but at 98 lb it's not as heavyweight as a dedicated watercolor pad, so it will buckle more under heavy washes.
How many sheets are in the pad?
60 sheets at 9x12 inches.
Does the paper bleed through with pen or marker?
The 98 lb thickness is meant to resist bleed-through for most pen, pencil and marker work.
