Talens Art Creation - Sketchbook Pastel Pink, 12x12cm, 140g, 80 Sheets, Hard-Bound, Acid-Free Paper

Nice colour, nice paper (smooth, not granular)

Having used a range of sketchbooks over the years, some of which never get much beyond the first couple of pages, this is the best I've had for carrying around and general use. Smooth paper, perfect for the super fine ballpoint I like to use but thick enough to take light watercolor washes if required. All the pages open flat, and it's well made too, it feels like it will survive bumping around in a bag. I used moleskine before..lovely but expensive and you feel like you have to be perfect using them. With this pad I don't mind doing daft things and wasting paper, or gluing things in. It's a really lovely little book, and the square 12x12 size is a refreshing change too. I will be getting more!

Good size for travelling or doing little sketches in. Have used acrylic paint in it and it’s been fine. Good quality pages.

This was my 3rd purchase of this sketchbook and I absolutely love it! It’s perfect for pencils and watercolour but also has paper thick enough for mixed media, I also really like the off white colour of the paper as I find it a lot easier to draw on. Ive brought it in A5 multiple times so it’s a perfect size for travel.

This is a good sketchbook although I wouldn't recommend it for watercolours. The paper is strong but warps a lot when watercolour is added, which is fair considering the weight of the paper. Lovely size for travelling and the cover colours really are gorgeous in person.

I always come back to this brand for more sketchbooks. I've had 5 of these sturdy little A6 sketchbooks and they're great, though be warned they don't lay flat and they can be tough to draw in due to the paper size. The pages are very thick and a cream colour (thankfully not white) that's easy on the eyes. Worth the fiver!

Perfect tiny sketchbook, great quality paper!

Excellent - lays flat

The photos are of my first sketchbook which is a portrait version. The one I am reviewing is the landscape version. Great for both wet and dry media. I have used pencils, pastels (both oil and soft - which need "fixing" if you don't want the opposite side of the paper to get marked), watercolour, Neocolor IIs and gouache so far and as long as the wet medium isn't too wet, the paper performs impressively well. These are not a cult favourite for no reason. I will continue to buy these sketchbooks over other brands. They're perfect for my everyday sketching requirements. Definitely recommend.

Cuaderno excelente para bocetar. El papel no traspasa y tiene una calidad inigualable. Tiene muchas páginas, por lo que cunde. El precio es ideal.

I love these little drawing journals, wonderful for sketching and painting. Easy to carry around.

Un taccuino immancabile e che porto sempre con me! Sia per il formato che per la grammatura della carta. Lo consiglio

I love these! Great size, great color. Paper holds up well to dry media and gouache. Some markers cause a lot of piling. Watercolor will work but be prepared for lots of buckling. Tons of pages, great value.
