Spiral Marker Pad

This is the best marker paper I've come across so far. Truly bleed-proof, I've been able to do full illustrations on both sides with Ohuhu's alcohol markers. I think I've only noticed bleed-through a couple times, very minor spots, having fully soaked and probably overworked some areas. It's super smooth and decently thick paper. I appreciate the spiral binding, it's very easy to work on any page without worrying about the sketchbook lying flat. The pages are bright white. Worth every penny if you want to make quality work in alcohol markers. I've tried a handful of different brands, including Copic paper, and this one beats them all by mile. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone working with markers. A joy to work with.

I picked this up after already loving Ohuhu's spiral marker pad, and it did not disappoint. This one has a journal format instead of spiral binding, so it feels more like a proper book, and it's double sided, which is great if you want to fill it up faster without worrying about bleedthrough ruining the next page. I draw portraits, landscapes, and doodles, and the paper handled all of it well. Colors blended smoothly and I didn't get any warping or bleed issues, even doing detailed shading. I used Shuttle Art acrylic markers, white gel pens, and alcohol markers from a Colombian brand, and all of them worked great on both sides of the page. The only downside is the price, same as their other sketchbook, but the quality makes up for it. I'll say the journal format actually makes this one feel a little more durable to carry around versus the spiral version, since there's no exposed coil. I now own two of Ohuhu's marker pads and trust the brand completely for anything alcohol marker or acrylic marker related.

Overall, amazing. The only significant thing that im on the fence about is the cover. It’s special leather designed so you can decorate it with acrylic markers, but how in the world am I supposed to clean it properly without messing it up? I’ll have to look into it further because soap and water certainly does not do a thing and i’m obviously not used to leather lolll. I have these weird spots on my cover, whether that’s from the natural oils on my hands or random dirt from carrying it around with me to places, I don’t know, but it didn’t mention anything on how to take care of such leather. It’s not a big deal though because it is very durable. You just have to take care of it a bit more attentively if you want to keep it neat, especially if you travel with it. Also, not a big deal because I usually keep my sketches in the book, but if you’re looking to tear out any of your sketches? Just don’t…😅 It has a “guide” thingy so you can tear them out, but it was horrible in action, and I almost messed up other pages because of the book binding. I wouldn’t recommend that part at all. Plus you’re left with the “crust” of that page, and you can’t take out that crust because… it’s binded with the other pages… lol😭 Unless you like that, then i guess you can tear away?😅 But it feels like it’s just meant to stay in the book. If you often tear out pages, you’d do better finding one of those “in and out” ones. Other than all that? I highlyyyy recommend. I’ve never loved a sketchbook more. Pencil does not smear or smudge at all unless you’re actively trying to smudge. But it doesn’t even smudge a whole lot when i’m drawing with my hand resting on other art. If that makes sense. But It’s amazing. & Of course, it does good with marker (I don’t usually use marker but still). The paper is amazing quality, thick, & just perfect all around, I had to shed a tear when i realized just how good it is. You can lay it flat really easily too. It’s absolutely worth the money and I love the smooth sleekness of the black cover along with the bookmark it has attached to it. I might just get the bigger square one in the future after finishing this one. If you’re an artist, absolutely go for it, you’ll love it. If you’re buying this as a gift for an artist, you’ll get some major brownie points for sure. This is not a typical cheap sketchbook

I am an artist who specializes in drawing with alcohol markers and colored pencils. This is the second time I got a sketchbook from Ohuho. I loved my old one and love this one more! The paper is, in fact, bleed proof so you can use both sides. The paper is very smooth, so it’s great for markers and pencils, but inks tend to smear sometimes if you don’t let them completely dry. *I’d recommend marker-fine liners instead of actual ink. I’ve found those don’t tend to smear! The paper has a slight grayish tint. This tint could bother some people but I barely even notice it. It takes a bit longer than normal for the markers to dry, and I don’t think the paper is made to take a lot of layers. Finally, it lays flat on the table which is great! The reason I got another sketchbook was actually because I got the spiral bound one before. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good spiral bound sketchbook. But unfortunately because the pages were ment to be able to be ripped out, whenever I would flip the pages they would start to come out. I’m hoping with this the pages won’t fall out as easily. I think the elastic band and traditional book binding will help solve that problem. *Update: I haven’t lost a single page and I am almost half-way through. All in all, it’s a great sketchbook and I would totally recommend to anyone looking for something they can use alcohol markers on.

is very bleed proof for sure, the elastic band is nice and tight (after a couple months of having it so far lol), and the pages are thick but can tear out smoothly. works alright with pen and colored pencil, great with normal pencil (although doesnt erase all too well, but i wouldnt blame it because its meant for marker). strangely, the bookmark ribbon thing is a little flimsy and see though with light, but no big deal to me. also, if youre someone who likes to stick stuff of the cover to make it prettier, things glue pretty well with stick glue, but not so much with hot glue directly on the cover, as its too smooth for the hot glue to latch on well. [xtra] color shows up well, its easy to carry around, its pretty and smooth and opaque.

Sheet count is accurate for one. It holds the color well and with alcohol-based markers it holds up! No bleed through at all. Value's great as it has been more of a chore than I care to admit finding a pad with accurate sheet counts as many distributors like to double count a single sheet as two pages, so here you're actually getting 60 sheets or 120 "pages". My only real qualm is with the cover as it holds finger prints very well so it gets kind of smudgy fast. Still a solid pad and worth it.

This is maybe my favorite Ohuhu pad and it goes great with Ohuhu alcohol markers. Those are the best affordable alcohol markers out there I believe. I'd give it 5 stars, but it does bleed through though so you can only used one side of each page... and they know that because they give you a plastic sheet to put behind the page you're coloring to save you from staining the next page too, but the back of the page is unusable. So to me bleedproof should not be in the product title at all and this is misleading. Ohuhu pens and three other kinds of alcohol markers I've used all bleed through this book's pages. To avoid that you can use Tombow watercolors, as I have not found Ohuhu's own watercolor markers to be good enough, even though they are much cheaper. That said, unless you're using alcohol markers you don't need a book like this, but I like the layout, page size, sturdiness and hard cover and most of my journals are Ohuhu books of various configurations. The elastic band to keep the book shut and book mark to save your place are features that make it suit my journaling. The price is decent too, especially if you wait for sales, which I do. I always have a stash of unused Ohuhu books in my studio.

I have never had a sketchbook that handles alcohol markers so well, and it most certainly can handle watercolor as well, even when they're at the correct weight for them. First of all, I love the appearance, especially because it's easy to customize how the front of your sketchbook can look. It feels solid, and the binding is gorgeous. It's really large, so you can really go ham in filling up each page. What I love most about it is that bleedproof is absolutely true, I abused the front and back of page one with multiple layers of alcohol marker. Two of the images I posted are the back of page one, where I did a bunch of random color tests, and you can't even see them, it's really that good. Even with all those layers, all it did was warp the page a bit, which is a solid trade off for having bleedproof, and I personally don't mind it.This sketchbook is absolutely worth its price. This is definitely my go to for now on for art medium specific books.

Geweldig! Superfijne schetsboekjes ! Heb er inmiddels weer 2 gekocht! Mooi glad en wit papier, perfect met polychromos potloden en alcoholmarkers! Drukt NIET door!

Anders als die üblichen Skizzenbücher kommt das Ohuhu Skizzenbuch mit einem festen ich würde schon sagen edlen schwarzen Einband daher. Das Cover lässt sich mit Acrylmarkern bemalen, was eine tolle Idee für ein persönliches Skizzenbuch ist. Ich werde vielleicht den Buchrücken beschriften und bemalen, dann weiß ich sofort, welches Buch es dann ist. Die 120 Seiten (60 doppelseitige 150 g/m² Blätter) sind mit weißem Faden gebunden. Das alleine schon macht einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck und eine angenehme Haptik. Durch die Art der Bindung ist es auch möglich mehrere Blätter vorsichtig zu entnehmen, ohne eine Beschädigung zu riskieren. Ich persönlich bin immer wieder beeindruckt, wenn ich Bücher oder Papier in den Händen halte, was sich gut anfühlt und finde das besonders bei Skizzenbüchern wichtig, da ich mich viel mit ihnen beschäftige. Das Format der Blätter ist 21x21 cm, wobei zu berücksichtigen ist, dass eine Perforationsoption, das Ablösen jedes Blattes ermöglicht. So herausgetrennte Seiten haben dann nur noch das Format 20 cm in der Breite und 21 cm in der Höhe. Durch die sorgfältige Bindung und die Perforation zum Heraustrennen der Blätter, liegen die Flächen nicht nur besser und glatter auf, sondern lassen sich auch durchgängig besser bearbeiten, um sie einzeln oder das beidseitige Format als Gesamtfläche zu nutzen. Die Papierfarbe ist richtig hell weiß, was mir besser gefällt als naturweiß, und die Farben der Alkoholmarker haben eine schöne Leuchtkraft. Verblendungen und Schattierungen gelingen, nach einer kurzen Trockenzeit erhält man ein brilliantes Farbergebnis und keine Farbe dringt durch das Papier. Beim Auftragen empfinde ich die Farben jeweils etwas dunkler. Mit etwas Geduld bei der Trockenzeit hellen sie dann später auf. Was ich ein bisschen schade finde, ist, dass das Format nach dem heraustrennen nicht mehr der angegebenen Größe entspricht. Hier würde ich mir wünschen, dass eine Angabe darüber in der Beschreibung zu finden ist. Trenne ich mein gemaltes Bild heraus, muss ich mir so überlegen, an welcher Stelle ich 1 Zentimeter wegnehme, um wieder ein Quadrat zu erhalten. Wer beim Vorskizzieren viel radieren muss, sollte sehr vorsichtig vorgehen, denn stärkere Bleistift oder Graphit Linien lassen sich nur schwer oder teilweise nicht mehr entfernen. Alles ist durchdacht vom bemalbaren Einband, Trennbändchen, Halteband zum Schließen, Papierqualität und Nutzbarkeit jeder einzelnen Seite. Quadratische Formen mag ich besonders gerne und finde dieses Skizzenbuch toll für das Malen mit Alkoholmarkern. Ich würde es wieder bestellen und auch verschenken.

Excellent have used alcohol markers on both sides of the paper and no bleed also the texture makes art pieces feel beautiful to make due to the smoothness creating better blend ability

Really nice sketchbook, works really well with the Ohuhu and Copic markers, ink does take a bit longer to dry than on some other paper so just beware.

Ho acquistato il taccuino da disegno Ohuhu per i miei disegni ispirati ai manga giapponesi. Ha una rilegatura ad anelli, copertina e cartoncino spesso sul retro, inoltre c'è una micro foratura a lato di ogni foglio del taccuino per rimuovere facilmente le pagine. La qualità della carta del taccuino da disegno è ottima e i fogli con grammatura 150 sono fantastici per il disegno e per colorare con i marker all'alcol o all'acqua di Ohuhu. L'assorbimento del colore è fantastico per le sfumature e lo spessore del foglio permette di non mettere niente dietro alla pagina del taccuino per evitare il trasferimento del colore sulla pagina dopo. Ho scelto il formato di pagina 225x210 e sono davvero soddisfatto.
