Customers like the quality of the paper. They say it's great for using alcohol markers, the cover feels firm, and the paper is good quality. Some say the sketchbook itself is fantastic and true to its word for not bleeding through. The back of the page is pristine, and it'll build up many layers without ripping out. The hardbound books are durable and nice to carry in a bag. They also say it does one thing really well and no pages fell or ripped out.

Doesn’t Bleed Through, but Lineart May Smudge

Doesn’t Bleed Through, but Lineart May Smudge
Disclaimer: I’m in no way sponsored by Rendr and am not a professional artist. I’m merely sharing my findings for other artists that may be interested in trying this product out.First thoughts:The price wasn’t bad for the sketchbook when I bought it back in early May, but the price has bumped up since then. (I think I got 2 sketchbooks for like $25-$30 but now they’re like $18 a piece for the 8inx8in) Paper seems REALLY thin to claim it can take a beating from alcohol markers on BOTH sides of the paper without bleeding. Has an almost glossy look/feel.Lineart to paper:-I was put off when the lineart smudged on the first two pages I used in the sketchbook. The first page I figured it was maybe because I should’ve waited longer for the lineart to dry completely. Then the second page I didn’t want to color at all when I found the lineart smudged after putting off coloring for two weeks. Thankfully, I was able to erase the smudges but had to be REALLY careful because I ended up smudging a little more of the lineart.-I then decided to try again but instead of using my newer Copic liners (which I used for the previous pages), I used my trusty micron liner pens instead and just outlined with the .005 fine liner to test it. No smudging while erasing, none before I colored, none when I touched it to test it, and very, very little smudging while coloring which I would expect even on regular card stock or mixed media paper sometimes. (I went back and finished outlining everything with thicker lines after I colored.) So I now know that as amazing as copic liners are, they’re not meant for the Rendr sketchbook.Coloring/blending:-I’m not the best at blending colors and I’m still trying to get the hang of using this paper, so just know that you may wanna take this part with a grain of salt. While it’s easy to put marker to paper, you should probably test colors out on the very first or last page before using them on your work. While the colors are beautiful and vibrant on the regular paper I use, the Rendr paper makes some of the colors lighter and less concentrated, which isn’t a bad thing per day, as it means less ink and you can layer up, but if you were hoping for a nice sea foam green, you might get something two times lighter or more depending on the color.-It’s also easy enough to revive colors you wanted to blend, but it’s probably best to remember to blend the colors while they’re still wet for a cleaner, smoother look.Is it Bleedproof like they say?-The paper in the sketchbook are INDEED bleedproof!! And I can use BOTH pages!! I’m amazed thus far but I still haven’t made a piece that’ll REALLY test the limits for this paper, but thus far, NOTHING is showing on the other side of the paper I used. The same cannot be said for watercolor, mixed media and card stock paper. Usually I’ll have to place a scrap piece under the page I’m working on. I didn’t and don’t have to do it with this sketchbook!Conclusion:The book lives up to what it claims to do. It is bleedproof and you can actually use both sides of the paper!Is it worth it? It depends on the person I think? While I love the fact that I can use both pages for my marker drawings, I’m still learning how to use the markers on the paper where the colors blend better or are smoother. Seeing as it’s not as porous as the other kinds of paper I use, it’s hard getting the smooth textures and colors I want. If the sketchbook was less than $15 a piece, I think it would be worth it, but any more, I would find it debatable. I may buy more in the future but until I get the hang of this one sketchbook, I’m just gonna keep buying the cheaper mixed media sketchbooks because the majority of my drawings aren’t complete with full blown color like I would want to do with a sketchbook like this. If you’re one that uses markers more than I do and make more pieces with said markers, I would look into this, but know there’s a learning curve ahead of you.

This sketchbook may be small but don’t let it’s size deceive you, it packs a huge punch! The pages are fully bleed proof, even withstanding my Ohuhu alcohol markers and my Himi gauche! It holds pigment really well and, like I said, no bleed or transfer AT ALL! Absolutely amazing sketchbook
