Crescent Creative Products 12-00010 Rendr Hardbound Sketchbook, 5.5" x 8.5"

I'm so incredibly impressed with this paper. I just purchased new Copic markers and wanted paper that would allow me to see my markers in their full vibrancy and beauty, and this paper does exactly what it claims. There is zero show through, even when I layer dark colours over each other. The paper is smooth, a cool off-white colour, very slightly blue and I'm really happy with it. The only thing to keep in mind, is that while you are able to use both sides of the sheets, the smoothness of application with markers is somewhat compromised on the reverse side. The paper doesn't warp at all but the way the markers go onto the page feels and looks slightly less smooth on the reverse side and I believe it's either because the paper is so fully soaked with ink that it behaves this way, or my more likely hypothesis is that reverse side of these sheets was not designed to be used like the front side. So as not to waste any paper, I use the reverse for practicing before starting my actual image. I think this paper pad is well worth the money and I have no concerns about buying it again. I'd like to try the larger, lay flat style next time :)

This is an awesome book! I absolutlely love it! I bought it for drawing Those adult coloring book type things and the ink doesnt go through the page at all and there isnt even the slightest bit of show through on the next page at all. Ive always wanted to buy a book that i can draw/color on the back to back pages of. A weird goal of mine is to fill a whole note book and this is let me do that finally, i always ruin a page in the other mixed media pads that i get because of bleeding onto the page behind. I cant say for sure how this will hold up under other types of media but it holds up amazingly for felt tip pens/markers. True test will be when i grab my copic markers and color the pages in after ive finished all the drawings. Those pens went through 3 of my last pages if i didnt put something behind my page to soak stuff up. And those pages were fairly thick. Ive add a couple drawings ive done, they are on the front and back side of the first page in the book.

Amazon had the best price at the time of purchase and really enjoyed drawing in this book. Very happy with order.

INCREDIBLE! I use alcohol markers and was interested in the claims of this paper, and all I can say is that I'm blown away. I used a Copic RV29, which is a deep crimson and usually prime candidate for bleed. I coloured in a circle around 2cm in width for about 30 seconds solid... Surely, I thought, this is going to bleed through anything? It's not like the paper is particularly thick. So I turn over the paper... Nothing. Not a single dot of bleed, and the paper feels as usable on the back as it does on the front. Some kind of magic is involved I'm pretty sure.

I bought this sketchbook because I wanted a book with sturdy paper that wouldn't allow alcohol based markers to bleed through. I wanted a book format and didn't want to use the more flimsy marker paper. The paper doesn't allow bleed through, so it's possible to draw on both sides of the paper. The only negative points for me are: 1. it's not truly an open flat book. You would really need to put the spine under a lot of pressure to get it lie flat. and 2> The paper isn't as white as I would like. It has a kind of grey tinge to it. Other than that, it does what it says.

really nice quality and feel. great for promarkers. watch out for using too much water in water colours and things though cause it can bleed through the centre seam slightly also the pages curl a lot with watercolours but this is solved by putting something heavy on it

Honestly I was put off by the price of this product, and I didn’t believe it would be bleedproof. But when it arrived... oh boy. No matter how many layers of copic marker ink I put on the page, it doesn’t bleed. It’s really good for alcohol markers!! It’s also pretty good for sketching, too. However, the paper is just awful for using watercolours or gouache. I don’t exactly know why, but it seems like the paper can’t absorb watercolours properly or something. It just looks so bad, and there is now flow. It’s supposed to be a multimedia sketchbook, so I’m sad I will not be able to use my watercolours in this sketchbook. Apart from that, the sketchbook STINKS of some sort of chemical product. It’s a very strong smell and frankly it’s a bit off putting.

This is one of the best sketchbooks I have owned. At first when I saw that it had 'no bleed' paper I was fairly sceptical but it turned out to be the case. I have used fine liners, sharpies and even water colour pens and it hasn't bled through. The only con for me has to be that there is a little bit of feathering but for me when I look at the end product it is barely noticeable. I also have noted that you can't lay two pages flat to draw over a double spread but for me this wasn't an issue. I would recommend this for and pen and ink artist looking for a great quality sketchbook.

This sketchbook is exactly as advertised! It's ever so slightly grey tinted (which I love) and I tested it with multiple layers with my markers and not a thing shows up on the other side! Plus, it can handle enough ink to create flawless blends! However, it doesn't stay open and you have to hold it flat, and with markers, it will feather out a little. Despite that, this was exactly what I was looking for and it's worth the money I spent.

Todo bien

bellissimo, sicuramente lo ricomprerò una volta che finirò i fogli. il colore dei pantoni resta sulla sua facciata senza penetrare in quelle sotto. un angolo mi è arrivato leggermente danneggiato ma lo si nota solo guardando da vicino, quindi nessun problema

Works exactly as advertised! I was skeptical after a bad experience with a Copic Notebook that made all the same promises but this book is Amazing!

Even has a nice smell, my preferred paper for marker art.
