Talens Japan T9314-204M 407269 Art Creation Sketchbook, Drawing Notebook, 4.7 x 4.7 inches (12 x 12 cm), Red

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 :)

Pretty and versatile sletchbook can handle a good amount of paint and acrylic markers just dont go crazy. I hope they don’t raise their price because this has been my go to brand for years, not only is it affordable but it’s of good quality as well! I love the variety they have in terms of colors :) kudos to art talens sketchbooks

Wonderful! Even though the paper is only 90lb and not very thick it works with everything from alcohol markers to acrylic paints. The paper is good quality and this sketchbook is the perfect size!

Excellent little sketchbook. Handles even watercolor decently. This is a great for on-the-go or just small drawings/compositions.

Small but great purse pad

One of my favorite sketchbooks. It's the second I'm purchasing. I use it for doodling, zentangle and collage. It feels great to draw on it with technical pens. It's not good for watercolor, but it handles a light wash for creating backgrounds. Just close the sketchbook and put something heavy on top of it after using watercolor, and the page will dry flat.

I love sketchbooks. This book has personality, a solid purchase. Quality is good and the front/back are not hardback, they offer some flex (which i like).

It was the right size that my daughter wanted to carry it on her backpack for when she gets free time at school she can draw.The pages are like any other sketch books there kind of thick there not see through.Really recommend it if you’re looking for something to carry around.
