A5 Hardcover portrait Sketchbook. World Traveller

A5 Hardcover portrait Sketchbook. World Traveller

JustGoSketching

Meet the World Traveller — a handmade A5 portrait sketchbook created for daily drawing, travel journaling, and watercolour adventures.

Each book is entirely handmade, with a hard-backed cover wrapped in soft-touch faux leather for a durable, premium feel. Inside, you’ll find 190gsm T.H. Saunders Waterford watercolour paper — one of my personal favourites — chosen for its beautiful texture, strength, and versatility. It handles dry sketching, ink, and wet media with confidence, making it a perfect companion for travel sketches, field notes, and memory-keeping on the move.

A special detail that makes this sketchbook truly unique:
a personalised regional map printed inside the front and back covers.
Choose your destination and make it your own — whether you're travelling to one place, dreaming of your next adventure, or gifting it to a fellow sketcher.

Finished with rounded corners and an extra-wide elastic wrap, the World Traveller is designed to keep everything secure — even when it’s packed full of postcards, tickets, reference notes, and inspiration.

Optional messenger bags and cases are available to build a complete travel sketching setup.
