Talens Art CreationSketchbook 80 Sheets, 13 cm x 21 cm, Golden Yellow

Great size, love a square sketch book.Pages are decent enough. Unsure about bleed through so far as I've not used anything to mark that would.Pages can be opened properly no matter which page, certainly better than other books I've used.Cover is sturdy, nice bright colour to really see in my bag!I'd buy it again.

This is sketchbook the perfect size for my handbag to use when I'm out and about. I'm tempted to buy more. The paper is nice and thick.

Honestly best you can get hardcover for price. The paper is good but does bleed if you use alcohol markers. Good value for money however if you're not looking specifically for hard cover you can find a better one. good size. OK texture could be better. Very pretty and easiy to bring around. Decent versatility for mixed media

Size is great - I’ve bought more as these covers come in a variety of colours. Paper is slightly creamy colour, smooth and takes in coloured pencils and leaded pencils very well.

I’m a bit fan of the Talens Art Creation sketchbooks and have bought several now. This size is my favourite. Not too big and heavy to take around with you but with a good amount of space to work on. They lay quite flat for scanning which is a must for me. The pages take various media, including wet, without wrinkling too much. I’ve noticed if I’m using wet media or brush pens, the paper can soften and go ‘bitty’ slightly if I layer it too quickly without letting it dry first. But I think you get used to how best to use your media to avoid that, if it bothers you.

I love these sketchbooks, the paper appears the same as the other famous brand that has elastic yet it's only a fraction of the price. I have several now, I can't seem to find anything bigger than this till you get to A4 size and I'd love something bigger. This one fits in a handbag great though, and with the elastic band stays shut so it keeps the paper fresh and clean. Excellent.

Lovely little book. I’ve seen people on instagram doodling in similar sized note books which inspired me to get one. Great size, easy to keep with you. Paper good quality.

Good size 4x4 inch. Lay flat paper suitable for wet and dry media

So I have recently started using the "Royal Talens: Art Creations Sketchbook" for my art, since I need a good quality sketchbook that is on cheaper end of the price spectrum. I have heard great things about this sketchbook, so I figured I'd try it out. & I have to say, I am a huge fan.For one, there are tons of great color options! This specific one I'm reviewing is the yellow color, but there are a load of colors to choose from [red, green, purple, black... there are several options, so you're able to choose a color that speaks to you]. I have two others in a navy blue & light blue color.I then have to get into the paper quality - it's a solid option, especially for my multi-media artists. This sketchbook handles everything at my disposal: graphite, ink, colored pencils, acrylic paint [this will also handle other mediums like watercolor as well, I just don't use watercolor so that's why it's not on my list]. The paper measures 140 g/m2, making this a great option for a lot of mediums.Finally, the price. $11, which comparing that to a moleskine is about half the price, depending on the size of course. Overall, this sketchbook is fantastic, and has been a humongous help in improving my artistry as an artist. I highly recommend this sketchbook, to the beginner artist who needs a good sketchbook option, to the advanced artists with years of experience. Regardless of who you are, this sketchbook will fill your sketchbooking needs.

Daughter wanted this for a small sketchbook and she loves it! It's small enough for her to carry around and do some drawing where ever she is, and it's her favourite colour pink.

Me ha gustado mucho usarlo, ya van tres que compro de esta marca. El papel es muy resistente para medios secos y solo lo recomiendo para gouache y acrílico en medios aguados, no es bueno para acuarela, ni para hacer un sketch básico . También me gusta usar plumines delgados , y los plumones tipo tombow se ve muy bien, pero si traspasan la hoja, por lo que se desperdicia esa parte (o yo la recubro con gesso o acrílico para hacer otro tipo de ilustración)

Amazing for gouache if you don't mind the paper buckling slightly while you're working. I don't mind as when I close it and hold it together with the strap, they flatten out more than not!

Me gustó muchísimo, el papel es super suave y tiene un tinte color beige, no es completamente blanco. Los medios que mejor le van son los lápices de colores, el gouache no muy líquido y los marcadores (solo que estos pueden traspasarse). Solo cuidado con las acuarelas ya que el gramaje no es muy alto y el papel quedaría muy arrugado.
