Skechbook Black 14,8X21 cm, 140 Grams

This is a great sketchbook, worth working in with gouache and light watercolor, brush pens and colored pencil. Pen work too. I love the larger size and it's perfect for big spreads without being too overwhelming. As long as you let layers dry in between each addition, gouache is my favorite to work with in these. The paper seems slighhhtly thicker than the next size down, I think it's the 13x21 cm version.

These little sketchbooks are perfect to carry along (especially on a trip) for on-site sketching. They are lightweight, and the paper is heavy enough to handle a little water (94 lb.). I like to use a water-soluble pen (Pilot Razor Point) so I can go in after I finish drawing and pull out some values. The books come in many different cover colors, which makes them just right for any kind of journaling, since you can keep using different colors so you know which book is which.

These are great little sketchbooks. They hold up well to a little watercolor. The paper is smooth and works well with fine tip pens. The elastic strap is really useful for when you throw this in a bag to take with you. It keeps the book closed so the pages don’t get damaged.

I was apprehensive about getting these for my kids/teens because of the higher cost compared to other brands but they are worth it. This sketchbook is very durable and is the perfect size for being hauled around in a backpack to-and-from school without showing a lot of wear and tear. The elastic band holds it closed and protects the inner pages but the book lays open flat for sketching without wearing out the binding over time. The paper is thick so bleed through to the next page isn’t an issue (unless you draw on both sides of the page, because it will show up on the back with Pigma Micron pens or sharpies). The paper is thick enough that drawing doesn’t leave impressions on the next page. The paper’s smooth texture eases blending and erasing. These are my kids’ favorite sketchbooks for art class and at home.

I love this brand and this journal. I returned this particular order though because the item arrived damaged :(

Talens sketchbook are great quality and most reasonably priced across the line. The paper is a yellowish cream and can handle gouache, acrylic gouache, and other dry media. Would also make for a nice journal.

Is a good side, i love it because is so easy to travel with!

first time buying this particular size of the art creation sketchbook. Fits nicely in my purse with a pentel pocket brush clipped to it. Stickers adhere well to the outside, and the cover resists smudges from being tossed around my bag. The paper takes pretty much all dry media well (a little too smooth for chalk pastels) and works nicely with gouache, acrylic and light washes of watercolor.

As a treat I would always buy moleskin paper. Quite expensive for what they are, but good. While scrolling through different papers I came across this brand which I have never heard of before and thank goodness I did it's an excellent alternative to a moleskine paper and significantly cheaper but still with very high quality I definitely will be using this brand from now on. There are quite a few different sized books in the range available and I have already bought another 4 of different sizes for either pocket, bag or art case I can't recommend these highly enough

Great sketchbook. Works fab for fineliners, ordered more for watercolours as well, hopefully it will work as well.

Strong paper accepts water colour well. Excellent size for travel

I love the paper in these, its really flat which is very useful with pencil where you don't necessarily want texture, it takes a wash well to. The cover is great, very durable, pretty and it has the elastic just like the expensive ones do. These are my favourite brand now.

La couleur fidèle à la photo Pratique pour le dessin, crayons, feutres et collage. (Je n'ai pas tenté l'aquarelle) J'aime beaucoup ce format Papier de bonne qualité
