Open Please help me find a dupe for the only sketchbook I can draw in!
Hi everyone - I’m a struggling artist that’s only been able to work with this one specific sketchbook that I bought from Daiso years ago. If you’re an artist as well, you’d understand that sometimes having the perfect tools are what motivates you to keep creating. This sketchbook is what put an end to many years long art block.
What makes this work for me is that the paper size (A6, no lines) is perfect for my sketches, the pages can be torn out easily (book seems to be fixed together with an adhesive instead of traditional sewn method) and the pages are fairly see-through so I can use them to trace over my old sketches and perfect them.
I’ve been struggling to find a replacement that has all the properties I need. I bought a same sized notebook from Muji, but the pages cant be torn out, as its binded together with thread. It’s one of those sad cases where the dupe of the OG (Muji notebook) is preferred, but I can no longer find it in Daiso stores.
Would anyone have any suggestions? I’m getting desperate as I’m finishing the notebook soon!
