Talens Art Creation Sketchbook, Red, 80 Sheets, 4.7 x 4.7 in

Loved this sketchbook. It took a lot of abuse with different mediums: pen, marker, paint sticks, goauache, watercolor, etc. and did not show through the back (no alcohol markers!). It has off white paper. Worked best for my favorite medium: fountain Lamy pen. Will definitely buy again in a different size.

This has become my go-to sketchbook. I'm about to start in on my 5th Art Creations sketchbook. I keep going back to it because it's the perfect middle ground for all kinds of mixed media without being so expensive it creates unnecessary pressure when you're just keeping the practice up and exploring.

I have to write this review again because amazon deleted my first one, hah... If I miss any crucial details I apologize. But I really do like this sketchbook! As a tiny objects enjoyer this is definitely up there with cuteness. It's the tiniest and cutest sketchbook I own and it's very good quality :) I love that the paper is a little on the thicker end (not too much so, but noticeable compared to other sketchbooks I have) And the paper doesn't warp too bad when you use watercolor. It did warp at first when I did the light wash of pink on the first drawing, but dried to be fairly flat which surprised me! It also handles gesso very well too, which I used for the pony drawing. I put a couple layers on because the crayola markers I was using weren't working super well as watercolor... Watercolor markers MAY not work with this sketchbook, as it doesn't have the same effect as it would with say a canson sketchbook, sad... But you can fix this problem with a layer or two of gesso, and it won't warp or anything like that. I did test a page with alcohol markers, and they did bleed through. If you want to use alcohol markers in this sketchbook I would recommend using a layer of gesso, taping the pages, or just skipping the bled-through page altogether. Overall a very nice portable sketchbook, I really like the color of it and the toned pages as well. Not something I've had before, but it's a nice touch! I can't wait to bring it with me when I start my classes again :)

Love this little sketch book. It's small so I can carry it with me often. Nice thick, good quality paper that doesn't bleed through. Great for drawing with pencils or pens. I use my to do Zen tangling.

I'm not sure why all the YouTube watercolor artists like it; the paper buckles too easily and takes forever to dry.

This is a nice little sketchbook. The book appears to be well-made. The paper is a decent weight with a smooth texture. I have not used any wet media on it, so I can't speak for any bleed through or rippling. Overall, I am pleased with it.

This is my second Talens Art Creation Sketchbook and I am in love with the quality of their paper. Nice thickness. I have only used this one for graphite but will try with ink next.

★★★☆☆ I really like the size of this sketchbook. It’s compact and easy to take with me, and I think it’s great for drawing and journaling. It’s not the best for watercolor, though. You can make it work with thin layers and very little water, but it warps easily and isn’t very forgiving with multiple wet strokes or layers. A little watercolor here and there is fine, but I wouldn’t recommend it for heavier watercolor use. The main reason I’m giving it 3 stars is that it arrived with the binding already broken. I decided to keep it rather than deal with a return, but I was pretty disappointed with the quality. Overall, good for sketching, but I wouldn’t choose it for long-term artwork or lots of watercolor.

Zunächst war ich skeptisch, da ich noch nie von der Marke "Art Creation" gehört habe und außerdem dieses Produkt keine Rezension hatte. Ich bestellte es mir jedoch und bekam ist schnell geliefert. Als ich es in der Hand hielt war ich erstaunt, es fühlt sich sehr hochwertig aus, besonders schön ist, dass auf der Rückseite das Logo "Art Creation" eingestanzt wurde, was ein sehr nettes, unauffälliges Detail ist. Zum Papier selber: Angegeben, wurde das es Aquarell und Tinte aushält. Ich hab nun verschiedene Wasser- und Aquarellfarben ausprobiert, aber noch nicht so viele verschiedene Tinten. Wasserfarben hält ganz okay aus, bei zu viel Wasser wellt es jedoch ganz leicht, was jedoch für mich persönlich überhaupt kein Problem ist, da ich viel schlimmeres Papier gewohnt war. Was Tinte angeht, habe ich einige auf Tinte basierende Stifte getestet, da ich noch nie wirklich mit flüssiger Tinte gearbeitet habe, kann ich da kaum etwas sagen. Fineliner und ähnliches drücken auch wenn man einige Male drübergeht überhaupt nicht durch, jedoch Marker und Filzstifte scheinen auf der anderen Seite dann doch durch, was aber ebenfalls nicht weiter tragisch ist, da das Produkt nicht behauptet hat Markerrobust zu sein. Wenn man ein Papier zwischen die Seiten legt, lässt sich aber bestimmt das Skizzenbuch auch mit Markern dekorieren. Insgesamt schönes festes Papier, und ein tolles Skizzenbuch, und der Preis ist auch völlig in Ordnung! (Natürlich ist alles sehr subjektiv geschildert, ich bin keine Professionelle Gutachterin, die ganz objektiv die Qualität wiedergeben kann)

Très qualité oui. Parfait

このシリーズはめちゃめちゃいい。サイズ違いで愛用してます。他のサイズと色も検討中。 何が良いって表紙の手触りが良い。中身の紙の質感も良い。鉛筆にも馴染むし、アクリルガッシュもにじんだり紙がへたったりせず描きやすいです。 同時に他のお手頃価格のノートを買いましたが、紙質が荒く粉っぽく、質感が苦手でした。。 こちらはノートの色味は生成色で、紙質はしっかりしてるけど画用紙よりは相当薄めです。

Love the feel of the paper

My absolute all time favourite sketchbook brand as an artist. Paper is thicka and butter smooth. It's just perfect.
