Square-Shaped Sketchbook, 8.3 x 8.3 inches, Lays Flat Flexible Sketch Book for Artists, Ideal for Ink, Water Color, Pen, Pencils, 160 Tear Resistant Pages, Size: Square Medium, Leda Art Supply, Black

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.

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

I like the soft back and good quality paper.

Great sketch book and I was delighted to find a pocket on the inside back cover, which is just what I wanted.

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

J'ai utilisé cet article pour faire un carnet de voyage et j'ai collé, peint, écrit avec toutes sortes de techniques. Il est absolument parfait. Le papier résiste bien et ne traverse pas. Il est épais, solide, pas très cher, le format est idéal, bref, je n'ai que des compliments à faire sur cet article et je le recommande vivement pour tous vos travaux de collage, écriture, aquarelle etc...

Sketchbook for artists, large softbound cover (7x10), Leda Odyssey's 160 pages of beige-colored, high quality paper is designed for pencil, ink, pen, pastel, charcoal and light water color wash. Ideal sketch pad, travel journal or notebook to express your creative inspirations. I’ve been testing this product out for a while now and I adore its simplicity and functionality. While at first surprised by it’s soft-bound pages, I hadn’t been expecting this type of material, I found this to be a real asset while sketching. The material definitely seems to hold up just as well as, or even better, than soft leather bound books I have had in the past. I tend to like folding back the front cover so the book can be positioned on my knee while I work. It’s been a couple weeks now and it has held up amazingly. The supple cover also aids in the book looking new despite extensive use or wear. It’s been thrown around in my book bag, car, and gone on a cross-country debate trip. Right off the bat I noticed the quality of the pages. I use a variety of black ink pens to sketch most of my work and have had issues with bleeding through the pages in the past. With this product, not only is there no threat of bleeding, the back of my sketches look almost like a clean page. I also really appreciated the inclusion of the pocket on the back page. Super useful for storing finished pieces I intend to hang on the wall or give away. Though I just draw for fun, this book makes me feel like a professional. The size is also perfect for my lifestyle. While smaller than some of the other sketchbooks I have tended to go for, Leda Art Supply’s debut product has proven to be not only easier to manage (I can more easily position it while drawing out and about), but also easy to travel with. This coming December I am traveling to Greece and this book will definitely be going with me (The myth travels home!)! I’m thrilled to have it and will definitely be purchasing another when this one is full. The quality is top notch, as is the vision for the company. I can’t wait to see what else they come up with!

Ich kaufe dieses Skizzenbuch seit einigen Jahren immer mal wieder und bin sehr zufrieden! Ich habe schon viel getestet und bis auf die Skizzenbücher von TALENS Art Creation noch keine Besseren für mich gefunden. Das Papier ist angenehm glatt und hält einiges aus. Es ist nicht zu dick, nicht zu dünn, und auch Mixed Media (in meinem Fall Buntstifte, Aquarell (begrenzt), Acrylfarben und Ink) sind gut darin zu verwenden. Feder ist nach meiner Erfahrung etwas schwierig, da es die Oberfläche des Papiers ankratzt und so die Linien ausfedern, aber u. B. Kugelschreiber, Brushpens oder Gelstifte funktionieren sehr gut für Lineart und Co. Das Soft cover mag ich persönlich gerne, wenn ich an meinem Schreibtisch arbeite. Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass das Zeichnen im Zug oder unterwegs damit etwas problematisch ist, da es doch sehr elastisch ist, aber das ist Absichtssache. An sich gehört es zu den teureren Skizzenbüchern, aber ich gönne es mir ab und zu mal ganz gerne, einfach weil es Spaß macht darin zu explodieren. Kann es empfehlen und ist bestimmt kein schlechter Kauf!

Estupendo el papel y estupendo el aspecto externo. Tiene el tamaño adecuado para desplazarse con el y lo que mas me gusta es que es flexible y no rígido como la mayoría de los cuadernos de dibujo.La tapa es duradera con aspecto similar a piel no lisa, sino rugosa y además resistente al agua. El papel es de tono marfil- beige y las hojas son de buena calidad. Uno de mis cuadernos preferidos de dibujo en este momento que lo podría ser también de escritura
