A5 Sketchbook, Lay Flat Softcover Sketch Book for Everyone, Ideal for Ink, Water Color, Pen, Pencils, 160 Tear Resistant Pages, Size: Medium, Leda Art Supply

I have used a lot of sketchbooks for work over the years, and some were better than others. Moleskine is often the sketchbook of choice, if you don’t mind the price. This sketchbook is comparable to Moleskine and is very well made. At this price, it’s a simple and easy decision to make. It feels nice to hold, is durable, has good paper weight, and is well bound with a durable elastic and a good quantity of pages. I plan on buying more as my go-to sketchbook.

Comes as described, cover clearly of good quality and paper is also nice though slightly on the thinner side compared to other sketchbooks I’ve had. Lots of pages, takes all sorts of media- goache (which I was pleasantly surprised at), watercolour doesn’t go too crinkly (though some crinkle is inevitable), paper isn’t see-through with inks and takes pencil fine as well! Overall good value for money.

Lovely quality paper to draw on, doesn’t thin when rubbing out either perfect size to carry around. I wanted something nice for me that I could work on my skills with and it’s perfect for what I wanted. Have used watercolours, graphite pencils and fine liners and all work well with the paper I would suitable for all.

This is a lovely sketchbook to use for graphite pencils and coloured pencils. When I first opened this sketchbook, I was surprised at how smooth the paper was, and how thin! I was concerned that it would be terrible to work on, however graphite pencil and Coloured pencils go down beautifully and so easily so I was pleased with that. I love the look and feel of the sketchbook, it is really good quality, however, the paper is just so thin! I really don’t like that at all, if you use a fine liner pen or a biro on the pages, it is so visible on the back and it indents onto the next page so you have to protect the next page. When I used my Tombow water based brush pens, you can only put 1 layer of colour before it piles the paper, and it goes through to the back. Forget paint, I wouldn’t dare! Considering it is advertised as a mix media pad, it is great for pencils, nothing else. If they bring out a 180gsm paper or thicker, then I’d buy it but this sketchbook is just too restricting media wise for me.

well apart from my sketch book looks like it was dropped or handled before me. apart from that probably the most comfortable sketch book I've ever owned. the color of the page is much gentler to the eyes then a stark white. pros: beautifully smooth paper. page color makes laying pencil color down so vibrant. flexible / pages lay flat. don't have to fight to keep it open. no ink feathering. sticking things inside of it causes no issues to the paper. the cover is very robust so it will survive being in a back pack all day. wallet at the back causes no issues. cons: pencil smudges slightly more then other sketch books. wouldn't recommend washes unless you don't mind page warping. inking will show up on the other side of paper, if you tend to be heavy handed. or use colored markers

Love it! Perfect for most mediums. Great daily sketchbook/journal of mine. Lovely soft flexible cover

Gorgeous sketch book, great quality and love the size and format

I like the soft back and good quality paper.
