OhuhuA4 Sketchbook for Alcohol Markers - 200GSM Heavyweight Acid-Free Paper, 120 Pages (60 Sheets), Spiral Bound with Hardback Cover - Art Book for Drawing & Sketching

The best marker paper ive used- and I've tried a lot of marker paper. Swear by it both for doodling or for imortant uni work all through my illustration course. Blends great, takes ink great, feels nice and substantial- not like some other brands with an unsatisfying thin texture, if you do something you like on this it feels properly special. Has a dotted line to tear out pages with a straight edge and comes with this little opaque rubber (?) Sheet you can put under your sheet to catch any bleeding through- though it really doesn't bleed much compared to other marker papers either. I've seen it in two sizes, but as I usually work in a5 I go for the square which is actually a size I wish I could find more sketchbooks in. Only paper I've ever tried that comes close is the official copic sketchbooks, but those are both harder to get ahold of and much more expensive for smaller books, this sketchbook matches those easily while also giving you more for your money- never wasted money on other marker paper after I discovered this one.

I've been using Ohuhu sketchbooks for quite a while now, and I absolutely LOVE them. Alcohol markets - I use the Ohuhu ones - do bleed through, but not enough to get onto the second page. However, if still recommend using the thin sheet that they provide for extra security. :)The paper itself is quite thick, and it withstands a lot. The paper in the picture I posted (with the two cowboys from Brokeback mountain) looks absolutely fine, even though I rubbed at it *hard* with an eraser as I had to redo their faces multiple times.I'm not sure how this paper acts with paint, but I know that it's perfect for pen, pencil and markers. The colours show up perfectly on the paper, and they stay very vibrant. I love it so much, and I'll definitely be buying more. The quality of this sketchbook is actually amazing for the amount of money it is.I'll definitely be buying more! :)

I like this product, I think the amount of pages you get for the price is pretty standard and it works really well for the ohuhu markers so the product as a while is worth the cost in my opinion.• The paper is very smooth and nicely thick, though it isn't at thick as something like a watercolour paper, but it doesn't seem to be buckling - it does slightly when the ink is still wet but quickly dries down flat.• Fineliners, pencils and markers glide over the surface easily, there was no friction or grabbing.• I appreciate the serrated edge for easy removal of each sheet• I did have some problems with my fineliners smearing with the application of the markers over top, which I don't experience on other types of paper - I imagine this is due to the paper being designed not to suck up too much ink, thus being less absorbant, and so the pen is sitting on top rather than settling in. This is easily rectified by running an eraser over my linework to pick up the excess ink before applying the markers though.• The ink does run through with layering, especially with blending, but the sketchbook does come with a plastic sheet to put between the pages to avoid ruining the one beneath and so it's not a big issue. You just can't use both sides of the paper.

Really like the thickness of the paper and how smooth it is. Takes markers really well but it does bleed through to the otherside so you can't use both sides, not a big issue for me but worth bearing in mind. It is well held together and the perforated tear out is very handy. My only gripe is that when you tear it out it doesn't seem to be A3 anymore so won't fit a frame perfectly, not a problem as you can back it with some additional white paper or a surround though. Worth a buy.

I've only completed 1 drawing in this sketchbook so far but I am pleased with it and I plan to use it a lot more. I usually use bristol board or that thin marker paper when using alcohol marker pens, both of which do a decent job but I wanted a proper sketchbook to keep all of my marker illustrations together. Having a sketchbook with a ring binder like this is really handy as you can fold the back over and work comfortably. I like the fact that it is square and it is a perfect size too. The paper was really nice to work on, it was quite thick and fairly smooth, but not quite as smooth as bristol board, which is a good thing because a slight bit of texture makes layering coloured pencil over the top much easier. I actually really liked the paper for working on and think it is my new favorite surface. Most of my different marker brands didn't bleed, strangely the Graphit B markers spread quite a lot, but none of the others did (Copic, Ohuhu, Windsor and Newton pro markers and spectrum Noir I tested them all). This is a really great sketchbook and I would recommend it.

Excellent quality paper, would recommend

This is great quality for such a reasonable price. On first impressions it's weighty, the paper is so smooth, and it also comes with a decent sized blotting sheet (all my others are too small). I'm yet to create any masterpieces but I can already tell I'll find this paper will improve my art work with the Ohuhu alcohol markers. Looking forward to trying.

Great quality notepad! I love the ink leak protectors at the back! The paper quality is fantastic. It's not the prettiest but I'm planning to redo the front page to make it more creative and modern
