Customers are impressed by the quality of the Moleskine sketchbook. They say the paper holds up nicely with every medium they throw at it, and the solid vinyl cover and the book binding are solid.

The Sketchbook Of My Dreams
I ordered this sketchbook because my entire life I had heard people saying that this was the one to get if you wanted to have a good time but the reason I hesitated was because of the price. However over time I’ve learned that spending the money is worth the quality for a good sketchbook and so I bit the bullet and got this and boy am I happy about it.The pros: ink looks amazing in this sketchbook, it draws on clean and looks amazing in the off white paper. The size of the sketchbook is also perfect for me (I put a highlighter next to it for comparison). The cover also is very easy to decorate for anyone wanting to do exactly that and also very sturdy so I don’t feel as if it’s going to break. The paper can also handle POSCA pens very well, more so than other papers I’ve tried. And markers look BEAUTIFUL on this paper, they don’t come out patchy and the colors stay vibrant. (On the drawing I show I used 3 different alcohol markers brands and they all look vibrant).Now cons: there will be INTENSE bleeding (as you can see you can practically redraw the picture you colored again). I forgot to put a mat in between the pages at one point and it bled not just through one paper but 2! Also I have no even attempted to use watercolor on this paper since I am experienced with water colors and can tell that this paper will get either absolute destroyed by the water or it won’t hold the paint at all making it very hard to control.Overall, this is my favorite sketchbook I have found for it being just a sketchbook meaning no intense pieces on this which is something I like but do be aware of that! I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a sketchbook though if you’re a watercolor artist maybe try something else

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, this is the best!
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2009
First: If you experience paper turning white when erasing, you need a better eraser. I use Staedtler Mars plastic erasers and Sanford design or Prismacolor kneaded erasers. From my experience, the kneaded erasers work best.

I am an illustrator, so sketching is a daily need for me. I always battled with sketchbooks because they felt as sturdy as napkins and just as useless when it comes to archiving. Even the heavy grade more expensive ones felt either TOO thick and textured for graphite and ink or just flimsy and overpriced. I had to use bristol board notebooks for a long time (which was expensive) because I just could not find the right balance. All I have to say it - holy cow, this is THE BEST sketchbook I have ever owned.

The paper is thick, poster like (very close to thin bristol board actually) and a very soft beige color. It is, thank God, untextured - very smooth yet holds on to ink perfectly. The thickness allows you to use soft traces of watercolor and diluted ink without a lot of bending. (If you want to go heavier with liquids I suggest you purchase the Moleskine Watercolor Notebook.

The pages are just large enough to give you good room yet small enough so the book is portable. The book bends far enough past the first 2 pages so you can actually draw across the pages. I use my book front to back not leaving one sheet uncovered and can draw horizontal landscapes thanks to the ability to use 2 pages at once. There is a small pocket on the back to store small sheets of paper and random things you might find while wandering the streets looking for inspiration. The hard cover is very thick and sturdy plus it has so many pages for this low low price. You can't beat it.

My only regret is not having owned one sooner! I will never go back to other brands. Now if only they made larger sizes... :)

Edit: January 2014 - Yes, the Folio series was released after this review was written, providing larger format sketchbooks. HOWEVER the paper quality is NOT the same. The pages are much thinner, and the color is different. More of a light, minty color as the classic sketchbooks are a warm beige.

its a great sketchbook for ballpoint pen. the pages are a perfect thickness to prevent bleedthrough to the next page from most mediums except for sharpie and watercolour (obviously, its not a watercolour book) but holds up very well to sakura microns, pilot g2, etc.

the pages also hold ink well, have a nice cream colour that looks nice and has a medium coarse texture that holds ink and graphite well.

what more can i say, its a moleskin. its worth the price

Me encantó este cuaderno, lo he comprado ya dos veces. Súper práctico para llevar un diario ilustrado o como cuaderno de bocetos. Admite técnicas mixtas, aunque algunos marcadores sí transfieren al reverso de la hoja. Para acuarela funciona, aunque recomendaría utilizar un cuaderno especial para acuarela si vas a usar siempre esta técnica, pues el papel no tiene textura y no absorbe mucho, así que no me parece tan cómodo para esta técnica. Para usar con marcadores, lápices de colores, grafito y estilógrafos, me parece perfecto. Recomendado totalmente.
