Details :
I bought these little over-priced notebooks several times over the years now. It is really small, pocket-sized means you can put it in your back pocket, which I really feel convenient. I can put it in my bag and not feel like it takes too much space. 

I use one for my doodles, I use one for my poems and writings, I use one for note-taking. I like the empty brown-colored paper as the book's cover even though I know it will be a little dirty when it is overused. So what I usually do is wrap it with clear-plastic sticker for extra protection after I doodled something on the cover. 

The paper quality is great to be used with small-sized artlines. My personal favorite is Unipin 0.3 and Pilot Drawing Pen 0.5, that I can simply use for doodles and will try my best not to spoil any of the pages - knowing it is very expensive, somehow it motivates me to not make any mistake at all. It doesn't smear. I don't really like to use pencil in these books, because I don't get the satisfying pencil-effect as I get when I use our local Go Palm notebooks.

I'm not sure whether any of the information is useful, but as an avid notebook user, I really think learning about paper-texture really helped me make everything from doodles and writings to scribbles seem more eye-pleasing, after all I really like to go through all my notebooks over and over again.

  1. These are beautiful.. I'm glad I found your blog. Doesn't the marker bleed through the paper? I always wanted to buy pocket size book for doodle but never found a suitable one. Where do you get yours? Care to share?

    1. No, the great thing is, it doesn't bleed/smear using artlines.
      Moleskine can be found in Kinokuniya KLCC, Borders The Garden & The Curve and several more big bookstores I guess, that's some of places that I could think of right now.
