Large Sketchbook Black

Premium Sketch Book

Perfect for sketching

The sketchbook is a dream and you can use mixed media on this very easily. Whether it's watercolor,gouache or acrylic. Haven't tried oil paints... The page quality is epic. No pilling,no ghosting,no warping. It's the best

Great sketchbook. The paper is my favourite, personally. It doesn’t hold well for alcohol markers but watercolour and poster colour, as well as dry mediums, it holds well. Not disappointed and I think I spent my money well. Like another review mentioned, something about it makes me wet. U r right king

The book arrived on time and the delivery guy was very polite. The product I expected was a little bigger buts that's my fault for wrongly assessing the measurements given. But with this size I'm seriously contemplating the cost effectiveness of the product. It is good quality... if you have money to throw around. Because its so expensive, I over plan anything I'm putting in it and I've only managed to do one drawing in 2 weeks.

I always use Moleskine brand for art. The paper quality is very good and can hold various mediums without leaking through. Although it is a little expensive, but worth the money.

I liked the paper quality

This is the big notebook - blank pages - excellent for sketching and using ink or pencils to colour. I loved the quality of the paper but I wouldn't use the eraser too hard. It does not affect the paper by using eraser but do use good quality one.

He comprado muchos cuadernos para pintar y dibujar. Este es uno de los mejores debido a su calidad y grosor del papel. He hecho bocetos, pintado con acrílico, acuarela y plumones de alcohol y todos se ven increíbles. (El plumón de alcohol como en casi todo papel, se traspasa atrás y mancha pero solo es ponerle algo atrás de la hoja para que no lastime las demás hojas). Si piensan gastar un poco más en un cuaderno de dibujo. Este es el bueno.

Sulu boya ve marker kalemler için pek uygun değil. Kuru boyalar için mükemmel. Sayfaların ipek gibi bir dokusu var ve rengi beyaz değil, daha doğal görünümlü krem gibi..

Icm een leren hoes erg fijn om overal mee naar toe te nemen.

First: If you experience paper turning white when erasing, you need a better eraser. I use Staedtler Mars plastic erasers and Sanford design or Prismacolor kneaded erasers. From my experience, the kneaded erasers work best. I am an illustrator, so sketching is a daily need for me. I always battled with sketchbooks because they felt as sturdy as napkins and just as useless when it comes to archiving. Even the heavy grade more expensive ones felt either TOO thick and textured for graphite and ink or just flimsy and overpriced. I had to use bristol board notebooks for a long time (which was expensive) because I just could not find the right balance. All I have to say it - holy cow, this is THE BEST sketchbook I have ever owned. The paper is thick, poster like (very close to thin bristol board actually) and a very soft beige color. It is, thank God, untextured - very smooth yet holds on to ink perfectly. The thickness allows you to use soft traces of watercolor and diluted ink without a lot of bending. (If you want to go heavier with liquids I suggest you purchase the Moleskine Watercolor Notebook. The pages are just large enough to give you good room yet small enough so the book is portable. The book bends far enough past the first 2 pages so you can actually draw across the pages. I use my book front to back not leaving one sheet uncovered and can draw horizontal landscapes thanks to the ability to use 2 pages at once. There is a small pocket on the back to store small sheets of paper and random things you might find while wandering the streets looking for inspiration. The hard cover is very thick and sturdy plus it has so many pages for this low low price. You can't beat it. My only regret is not having owned one sooner! I will never go back to other brands. Now if only they made larger sizes... :) Edit: January 2014 - Yes, the Folio series was released after this review was written, providing larger format sketchbooks. HOWEVER the paper quality is NOT the same. The pages are much thinner, and the color is different. More of a light, minty color as the classic sketchbooks are a warm beige.

The paper quality in this sketchbook is brilliant — thick, smooth, and perfect for pencils, pens, and light watercolours. It doesn’t bleed through or wrinkle easily, which makes it ideal for experimenting. I love the sturdy cover and elastic band; it feels like a proper notebook you’d want to carry around and actually use. There’s also a ribbon marker to keep your place. It’s the sort of sketchbook that makes you want to draw more often. Even a quick doodle feels like it deserves to be kept.
