📔 Crescent Creative Products RENDR Sketchbook - 8x8 Black Wire-Bound for Artists Review

That's why I want to say that I like this paper and I use it a lot for drawing with markers. 2 stars not for the paper because it's great. I bought 2 mainly because I am making a large drawing book. I received both and counted as usual and found that one had only 30 pages so far, not counting the blue pages that came with it, which I can tell is not the bleed paper I'm ordering. I'm going to use these as protection for my maker's samples, so it's ok. I'm mad they cut me 2 pages. I know it's…

Imagine that. 2019. bought a full set of Ohuhu alcohol markers. I just needed paper. Bought after reading and looking at the reviews. Should have paid attention to Revain's 1 star reviews. This paper wasn't her! Until it really shines through This article: 1. Cloudy mush made with alcohol markers.2. This will prevent you from blending and pressing the layers together leaving ugly streaks.3. At first I thought it was the eraser I used, but no, it was paper. Stopped using it and used markers on…

Please read to the end: When this book said "bloodproof paper" I thought they were just saying that; that I could use most materials, not all. But this book is really good for its title. The render really lives up to its name. 20+ layers of Copic markers (that bleed through EVERYTHING), a thick black marker (that also bleeds through EVERYTHING), acrylic paint (watercolor doesn't stick well to paper, comes out dull) and not a speck of bleed from the other side of the page. The best sketchbook…

UPDATE 2020 (2 STAR RATING): I bought the sketchbook in April after seeing the Lay Flat Rendr album a month earlier. I only used it recently (June 28, 2020). That's when I discovered that the sketchbook I'd hailed as "the solution to my marker problem" didn't work with my alcohol markers. At first I thought those were my Ohuhu markers, so I switched to my Copics. The same problems. The colors are too light, blotchy and almost impossible to blend without creating a weird waxy outline along with…

Updated previous review: Had to return this as the finish on the cover is very easy to ruin. In fact, it's almost impossible not to screw up. I think it got on it with some kind of glue, although now it looks like it got there by mistake, who knows? tried to clean it with stronger and stronger solvents and finally it started to dissolve. What's the point of looking good if you can't even handle hand oil? Yes, great paper, but if you're picky about your aesthetic, don't fall in love with the…

This book does one thing very well. If you use markers or alcohol-based paints, this may be the holy grail of sketchbooks for you. You can pour ink in layers and it won't bleed through to the other side. This is how I use it and only this is how I will use it. Even though it advertises that you can use all media, I don't think it gives the results you would expect from water-based media. It may be fine for some other dry mediums like pencil, crayon, and charcoal, but I have plenty of other…

UPDATE! This is the WORST sketchbook I've ever tried. Yes it works for the sketchbook and doesn't bleed at all BUT I can't get any lighter colors to show you with the copis and FUCK the markers look SO SO HORRIBLE on this paper. Paper does not absorb ink at all. And the paper is so thin that it folds and interferes with drawing. If you don't have the ENTIRE collection of Copic markers, I DO NOT recommend this sketchbook. Although I'm glad I tried. This sketchbook really confuses me. I've always
