## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hows the bleed through for anyone using markers in the regular sketchbook?**
A: Alcohol based markers definitely bleed. I’ve tried copic and prisma colors and both bled through to the back side and the following page.

**Q: How much does it weigh**
A: Hi Chriss. 
Thanks for your inquiry regarding my Moleskine large Sketchbook. The weight is 12 ounces. 

Hope this is helpful,
Judy @ Itz a Book

**Q: How is this for just ink? I was thinking of archiving inktober sketches**
A: It's good for ink; But does tend to buckle if you use a lot of water. Hope this helps

**Q: Two questions. 1. is it a good paper for copic markers? and 2. i’m super confused with sizing. i need a5 size that can be later into a4. thank you**
A: This is good paper for about anything.  If your markers are super juicy I might get a different sort. I teach art so can help you out with the A5 and A4 thing.  Also I lived in Germany and this is how they size things. a4 is bigger than a5 but proportional so I only can think you are going to electronically or through copier enlarge a page from the Moleskin.  You can see description of this system if you google it.  SO any a5 size can be turned into A4 if you reduce it but Physically A5 is smaller area than A4.  Hope this helps you.  Happy to sell you what I have for sale on Amazon.

New favorite!!!! No bleed through when using marker, the pages are nice and thick and its perfect for pen or pencil. Will definitely make this my go to sketchbook.

Hate spending money, was worth it, great for acrylic markers in particular, can also handle water based markers, alcohol not so much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Sketchbook Of My Dreams
*by M***L on August 22, 2021*

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
