Talens Art Creation Paper - Sketchbook Black 12x12cm 140g 80 Sheets - Ideal for Drawing Journaling Urban Sketching - Acid-Free Cream-Coloured Paper

My go-to sketch book. Paper is thick enough for drawing-- I rarely use wet mediums in sketchbooks, so I can't give a good appraisal about how this paper will stand it. But my friend does successful, expressionistic ink washes in one and looks like has no issues with buckling, running, or breaking up. The paper is very good to excellent quality and there are a lot of pages. A popular rival does pads with heavier paper, but for my purposes, it was worth the trade-off to switch to these: Also a lot fewer pages due to thickness of rival paper. The bookmark and elastic closure are very useful and practical. I wouldn't go back to pads without them. You can even tuck a pencil under the elastic at the top, so it's always handy when you get sudden ideas. And importantly DURABILITY! The popular in UK rival pad's covers wear out in your bag if you carry your pad everywhere with you (like you should)-- because that product's covers are inferior: the spine falls off... the edges wear out and I end up having to gaffa tape them. These Talens pads have no issues because the covers are superior quality.. Also note, the rival has stiff covers... which is marginally better. Talens has softer, but firm enough covers. Also the thicker pages in the rival don't want to lie flat when you're working... The thinner Talens' pages are much easier to subdue, so they don't keep springing up at you when you're drawing. Great value- practical, durable, a pleasure to work in.

The paper quality is actually amazing for sketching out my random work. The pages are super thick so no bleeding through. For the price it is it’s probably the best sketch book I’ve tried.

Excellent

sent me the wrong size but i still like it the paper isn’t edible so don’t try that

Excellent quality cream coloured paper, an inbuilt elastic band to keep it shut and the very small pocket size was just what I was looking for.

This is my go to sketchbook. The paper is a off white cream colour and is smooth, most art material won’t bleed through unless you’re using stuff like ink or markers as the paper is thin but I would still recommend this sketchbook, sketchbook are supposed to be messy .

Nice little sketchbook to carry around. Works best for pencil/ fineliner sketches but I have used watercolours just fine. If you plan to use acrylic/ oil, I'd suggest using gesso and having something between the pages.

I recommend

Sehr schnelle Lieferung, Super Preis für diese gute Qualität. Dieses kleine Skizzenbuch hat meine Erwartungen voll und ganz erfüllt! Es ist stabil genug, um unterwegs oder bequem auf dem Schoß zu zeichnen. Der Einband fühlt sich angenehm glatt an. Die Blätter sind perfekt – meine Stifte drücken nicht durch, was für mich sehr wichtig ist. Durch die kompakte Größe macht es mir besonders viel Spaß, Muster oder einzelne Objekte zu zeichnen. Ich kann es jedem Zentangle-Fan nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Excellente qualité. Equivalent du Rhodia

Mi libreta favorita para dibujar, el papel es grueso y no se transparenta, aguanta bien tinta y un poco de acuarela.

Nice product.

I already love it because of how the paper feels... even though I haven't used it yet. I'll update my review when I do! UPDATE: I absolutely love this sketchbook (I got the 21x29). I mostly sketch with graphite and colored pencils, so the thickness slightly rough paper are perfect for me. It also has more pages than I expected, which of course I'm super happy about. 10/10 highly recommend Talens
