8.3"x8.3" Marker Paper Pad Art Sketchbook for Drawing and Sketching | Square Sketch Book - 120 LB/200 GSM Smooth Drawing Paper - 78 Sheets/156 Pages - PU Hardcover Sketch Pad for Alcohol Markers

I purchased these pads for my acrylic markers and I am very happy with the results so far. Just finished my first page and no bleed through with acrylic markers, which means I can use the back side of the sheet too. Minimal paper warping as well which helps with wanting to use the back side. These books are heavy, and well constructed with a nice smooth paper texture which helps to not destroy my marker nibs. Can’t wait to try my alcohol markers on them next, but those expect to bleed through.

These are my new favorite art journals. The paper is thick and feels luxurious. Pencil marks erase easily. Alcohol markers hardly bleed to other side. But if they did the journals have a nice clear sheet to prevent that. The cover texture looks expensive. I have actual expensive journals that are not this nice. Delighted by the price point and excellent quality.

These sketchbooks are so sturdy. The binding is constructed well. The paper is thick and smooth, perfect for alcohol-based markers. The paper is also very white and makes the colors look very bright. Great for any age of artist.

Ohuhu is one of the brands I will always be loyal to. They have yet to let me down, and I’ve needed a new sketchbook for a while. Being bleed resistant for alcohol markers is a plus, since it is my main media. However, as other reviews state, the pages are not 100% alcohol marker proof. They are definitely resistant, but using alcohol markers on a page will more than likely render the other side unusable/difficult to use. I scribbled with Ohuhu markers on a page I tore out to test the bleed resistance, and with the pink you can see I did 1 stroke, then up to 5. With the black, I just scribbled in a circle for around 10-15 seconds. The pink didn’t bleed through until 5 strokes, and it was super mild. The black definitely bled a lot more, though. While it didn’t touch the other paper too noticeably, you can see that the backside of the page I drew on has a good amount of bleed. If you blend your alcohol markers you know you need multiple strokes, and this can quickly lead to a 30-page notebook only having room for 30 drawings, instead of 60 like I had hoped. The paper quality is great though. It feels nice, it’s smooth, and has good weight. Feels nice to write and draw on, with little to no resistance against graphite and pens. I have not tested watercolor or acrylics on the paper yet though, so I do not know how it stands up to those medias. Also, I kinda hated the texture of the cover. Minor complaint, but it was weirdly textured with a ton of small lines, and an almost vinyl/plastic feel to it. I covered it in stickers to negate the texture, which was easy enough, but I wish it had not been textured, or was more mildly textured. But again, that’s a minor complaint, and very person-to-person.

Markers will bleed through the pages but it comes with a pad to put behind each page to make sure it doesn’t affect the other pages. Also I didn’t read the size and was expecting it to be a lot bigger

Extremely well crafted. Just holding it- if you love blank books- is an impressive experience. Pleasantly heavy with very thick, excellent quality sketch paper. I bought this specifically to use with the same brand (Ohuhu) markers, and there's only subtle bleed through to the other side of the page, but when you use the included plastic page protector, the bleed through doesn't actually reach the next page. I also use the permanent Sharpie markers in these books, and those do well with the protector, too. I have a couple sizes of these books, and the plastic protector is sized for each book. The binding is sewn and very tough, but the book opens flat. The bookmark is the right thickness to be able to grab easily when you need it and ignore when you don't- also, it seems to be just the right length, too, as most bookmarks are usually too short and you have to fight to grab them (personal pet peeve). These are a little expensive for what I usually like to spend, but they are worth every penny. These would last a lifetime.

I have only tried paint markers on this so far but I imagine they are also good with alcohol markers. I have no problems with the markers bleeding through to the next page.

These really are beautiful books. Especially for the price. The paper is nice and "heavy"/thick, they simply look high-quality, and even come with a plastic sort of pad to place underneath your current page to avoid bleeding if you're using something heavy. Myself, I'm mostly fountain pens and well, chisel-tip fountain pens and other chisel-tips for various things that tend to let ink drain as if you were pouring a drink if you let the tip sit on the paper. So far, all good. Due to the inks I use, I do leave them open to air dry however but that's not this paper, it is my ink. I cannot speak for painting. I wish I were better at it but hey, can't be the best at everything! Seriously though.. For the price I am beyond impressed. I bought an "art book" from a very well known "big box store" for around the same price and simply sitting on the shelf - without ink!!! - the pages curl ... so, I bought another of these .. and another .. for after I finish the first. They arrive in a cardboard box, aside from whatever they're shipped in which means you can feel safe that they'll be in good condition. I forget exactly how I found this brand but so far, so good. I am far from an artist. That is why it is especially important for me to have quality paper and such. It's hard enough to put my thoughts to paper. Quality inks/pencils (rare are the pencils) and paper have actually allowed me to make some decent representations. They are personal but that makes it even more important to me. I really appreciate these. This is simply a great product. Nothing more to say.

Absolutely beautiful sketchbook! I've been looking for a new one in AUS with thick pages - the paper is very flat with no grit, so great for sketching and drawing, I'll update when I break out the Charcoals. Minor warping with messy beach watercolours. And my only warning would be that they are heavy - I had thought to use the smaller one as a travel journal, but she'll be a heavy journal (very sturdy though), and love the elastics to keep it closed! And the vellum page guard? Brilliant. Overall thoroughly pleased with these sketchbooks!! They're a joy to draw on and so glad I went with them.

Precioso sketchbook! Tiene mucha calidad, hasta pesa bastante al tomarlo

Finde ich super und kann ich nur weiter empfehlen! Das Weiße glatte Papier ist perfekt es ist auch etwas dicker und nicht zu dünn. Ich werde es nocheinmal bestellen.

I’ve been using Ohuhu markers for a while now, so I picked up this mini sketchbook to go with them — and I honestly love this sketchbook so much. The paper is smooth, thick, and really nice to work on. There is some bleed‑through (which is normal for alcohol markers), but it’s still one of the better pads I’ve used in this size. If you’re starting with Ohuhu markers or just like making small pieces, this pad is perfect. And here’s a tip I’ve been using: because there’s bleed on the back of each page, I recommend making a small art piece on a cheap marker pad and then gluing it onto the bleed pages. It lets you use the entire sketchbook and create really cute spreads instead of wasting pages. It works super well and makes the whole book feel more finished. The size is great for quick drawings, colour tests, or mini illustrations. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and the paper handles blending nicely. Overall: Amazing little sketchbook for alcohol markers. There is bleed, but with a simple workaround you can use every page and make it look intentional. Highly recommend if you’re starting with Ohuhu markers or love mini art pads.
