Talens Art Creation Sketchbook - 21x29.7cm - 80 Sheets - 140g - Acid-Free Paper for Drawing, Journaling, Mixed Media

Love these sketchbooks! So underrated, seems it is gaining traction with artists tho lately. Paper color is great a bit yellow but not as much as the Moleskine ones. As for bleed resistance it's pretty good for pencils, pens, inks acrylic markers but alcohol markers it bleeds thru so be mindful of that. All sizes are awesome depends on how you use your sketchbook. It's quite sturdy and if it's in a smaller size it's easy to carry around and sketch outside.

I love using this sketchbook with a variety of mixed media. The off-white paper is lovely to work on and it's really smooth with no texture, so blending paint and pencils etc is a dream. The hardback cover is great for sketching outside and on the go as it gives you a strong support. There's also an elastic band to hold all the pages together as my sketchbooks can get really chunky after a while. The paper withstands a lot of wet media and I think it's excellent value for a good quality sketchbook that lasts.

Lovely little sketch book. I’m practicing some mindfulness doodling with it pigment liners and there’s no bleeding or bleed through. Good, thick paper in a lovely smooth ivory colour finish. I love the red cover too. Really impressed.

Perfect size sketchbook. The paper is lovely and thick too.

Thick pages perfectly for on the go watercolouring! Smooth paper my pencil glides!

Very good quality and cream paper. Ribbon and elastic onlyIssue is it’s not a5 and the 80gsm is a bit thin for heavier materials like paint or alcohol markers

I like these, the paper is of reasonable quality and the books well made.

*like the small compact size*quality of paper is good*used with light watercolour washes as well as ink*dip pen ink sketching was great and pen was not catching any paper fibres like it would with cheap paper*depending on medium used, it may show some ghosting on the other side of page but have not had issue with actual bleeding through*have not use it with alcohol markers but they will probably bleed through*erasing pencil markers does not damage the paper surface*coloured pencils worked good as well even though paper is more on smooth side in regards of the texture*like it and would buy again
