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

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 is a quality sketchbook, the paper is ultra smooth and bright white meaning your alcohol marker colours will look nice and saturated. Even with many layers of copic colouring, there was absolutely no bleed through to the other pages. Finally a sketchbook I can use with Copics and not have to waste many many pages because of bleed.

It's a little too expensive but still worth it. It's just as described, no bleeding through the paper with any of the markers I have! Will be able to fill every page.

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

The book arrived within the deadline and it feels wonderful and performs just as well. The paper quality is superb. Packaging was good too which ensured my Hardcover Sketchbook arrived in perfect condition.

I liked when It did not bleed through on to the other page when using my COPICs and I used it for drawing and colouring the drawing in with different colours of my COPICs

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.
