Best Marker Sketchbook

In 28 years of illustrations and sketchbooks this is the first non bleed paper I've found that holds up well to alcohol based markers. Watercolor doesn't bleed either, but paper will wrinkle with some water-based mediums. This is the first sketchbook where I can use both sides of the paper so the previous drawing doesn't show through. I immediately bought another hardcover album as well as 2@ 9x12. Tear out pads of paper so I can make smaller/odd sized albums to carry around. The paper seems to have a slightly strange but not entirely unpleasant smell. If chemical smells bother you, you probably won't be using alcohol-based markers anyway, but just thought I'd add that information as it might put some people off. I do not mind.

Pros
  • Lots of positive feelings
Cons
  • No form required
