Leuchtturm1917 - Medium A5 Hardcover Sketchbook (Lemon) - 112 Pages of 150g/m² Paper

This was my second time purchasing this- the first was for my partner who adores it. The second was a gift for a friend. It’s a gorgeous journal and a great gift (for yourself or someone else). I personally prefer a dot journal, and created a lined paper template to put behind the pages in case my friend wants to journal (opposed to sketching) but different strokes! My Dabo&Shobo alcohol markers bled through to the other side, my Tombow set of dual sided brush markers did not.The journal has a nice “tooth” and if it were my own art journal I’d be comfortable using graphite, ballpoint, marker, and perhaps a dryer watercolor. It won’t hold up to wet paint well.Personally I think it’s a gorgeous journal, with high functionality.

The media could not be loaded. Recommendation: Do NOT have it shipped in its own packaging. It’s just plastic wrap and that's not enough to keep it safe in transit. Even with the ding, I love mine! I've been using it for about 6 months with no problems. Paper is excellent and meets my standards for mixed media (can handle light guache and watercolor paints without bleed through, no water-based marker bleedthrough). Paper is white, not cream, but not bright white either, it looks slightly textured in person but doesn't feel textured when you run your hand over it. This is my first Leuchtturm and I plan for all my future sketchbooks to be these as well. Also I love the square shape on this one.

Lots of pockets for cards

ily so much Leuchtturm i’ve got like 20 different kinds of ur notebooks the paper quality is always unmatched and i can’t sketch on anything else

got this today. i do love it, so far. be mindful that the measurements are just under 9 inches x 9 inches and NOT 10x10

These sketchbooks are quality, gorgeous paper, and great sizes. They take a good amount of acrylic paint, glue from collage, and erasing. Price is very comparable to Seawhite and others. Amazon packed mine with a broken back and bent pages ... the shipping box was fine.

I absolutely LOVE this sketchbook!! I had been looking for a replacement of my usual Moleskine sketchbooks and I think this is it. The paper is lovely, where I can use many different pens and markers for all my sketching/character design/gestures/figure drawings that I want and it doesn't bleed through at all. Keep in mind that I have mainly used Sharpie highlighters, Big Round Stic blue pens, Crayola markers, prisma colors, and Tul markers, so I'm not sure how copics would react to the pages if you are interested in those. I imagine they'd bleed through only a little, but that can be easily solved by placing a blank paper behind the one you're drawing on. The binding is also very neat, where I'm already past the halfway point of the sketchbook and the sketchbook isn't folding in on itself or becoming loose in any way; so those of you that are interested in scanning your drawings (like I've done) will have a very easy time of doing so.The sketchbook also has a little folder compartment in the back that works great for any small rulers or scrap papers you want to put in it. Artist tape works perfectly with it too, not tearing off a single bit of the paper. By adding one of those pencil holders/pen sleeve cases with the adjustable elastic band, this is my perfect sketchbook.Very happy artist here, can't wait to buy again!

Lovely sketchbook. Comes with labels, two bookmarks, and it very high quality. Took it on a trip to Japan and water colored, painted, and sketched on it and it is still in pristine condition.
