Leuchtturm1917 - Medium A5 Hardcover Sketchbook (Lemon) - 112 Pages of 150g/m² Paper

papier blanc et assez lisse bien pour le crayon , c'est ce que je cherchais

Just close to finishing up my second Leuchtturm1917 and figured I would share my thoughts here. For the most part, if you are into pen & ink drawings/skeyching, there is quite a bit of "bang for buck" with this sketchbook...although the price has seemed to increase a bit since buying my first one. The attached photo is mixed with a Pentel Fude brush pen and light watercolor so it can handle heavy ink and some color with slight warping. It CANNOT handle heavy washes as the paper will buckle and fray after multiple layers. It technically can handle alcohol markers, but the colors don't seem to "pop" and there will be bleed through so I wouldn't make that your main medium.Pros:- Sturdy bindings and paper. Never had any issues coming apart.- A variety of colors and sizes if you get bored like to have more than just black or brown sketchbooks- Comes with a back pocket, binding and cover labels and two ribbon markers- Paper is smooth and sturdy. If you like white paper, black ink shows up very well here.Cons:- No toned paper- Value for money is "okay". My first Leuchtturm1917 a couple years ago was under $20, making it a nice alternative to a Moleskine; however, now they are closer in precise.- Doesn't handle watercolor well.

This is regarding my lemon yellow A5 sketchbook.The original packaging of this product line includes shrink wrapping. My copy did not come in shrink wrap.Furthermore, each and every corner has varying degrees of visible damage. This book has been dropped on all sides. Along the spine and the outer edges, there are creases and inward curves. This would not quality for gently used, much less like new. This does not seem acceptable for a premium product that commands a premium price.There is also residue on the back cover. The sum of these defects leads me to believe that I was sent an opened, rejected, and returned copy of this item.

I really like this sketchbook, the lemon color is beautiful and the pages are thick and smooth for drawing. I use alcohol brush markers, and they work smoothly, the marker ghosts on the back of the page but it does not bleed through. I would definitely buy this sketchbook again, in the denim color when I'm finished with my lemon book.
