A sketchpad is a collection of blank or lightly textured paper bound together, used for drawing, sketching, and doodling. It is similar to a sketchbook but often comes in larger sheets, which can be removed or cut. Sketchpads are designed to hold various drawing materials such as pencils, charcoal, or markers, providing a smooth surface for creating quick or detailed artwork.
