Hey /ic/, what brand of sketchbook do you prefer, what's the dimensions and why?

Any recommendations on a brand that alcohol based markers will not bleed through or show on the reverse side of the page? Nothing irks me more than flipping through my sketchbook and seeing blobs on the reverse side.

It depends where you are and what's available, your budget, ect. The crescent rendr sketchbook is made for markers, but a bit pricey.
Canson marker xl is a bound pad, not a sketchbook but does have a lot of paper (100 sheets).
I think there is an actual copic sketchook as well, which is similar to the rendr one. And there's always the option of just binding your own marker paper into a custom book.

I like the monologue sketchbook by Grandluxe. Cheap and resilient.

Marker paper? Is that what it's called? I've always drawn a lot but never used good markers. Binding my own, that sounds cool! Money isn't an object here I spend a lot of time drawing And I hate the mess from markers bleeding.

Yeah, marker paper will stop bleed-through as well as making it easier to blend smoothly as well colour without feathering and streaks. There's a fair few brands available, it's just the hardcover sketchbooks that are a bit scarce, excepting the ones I mentioned. If you use mainly ink and markers it's worth it since you are p much rendering half the pages in a dry media sketchbook unusable through bleeding anyway. Also, your work is nice and worthy of a nice paper.

I work with watercolors and ink, I'm using two watercolor sketchbooks atm, one landscape moleskine and one portrait global art materials, Both a4 which is the size I like the most for portability and to draw indoors too, also for details, they are a little expensive but I love them, especially the global art one.

I use sketchbooks as a art diary, they help me to notice drawing mistakes, give me a cronology and build memories after I look back

I want to work with Ink, Gouache and maybe some markers.
What are some good options?

OP, please kill yourself. That sketch is an unfinished and atrocious copy of a much better artist that you took at a shitty brightness and angle and covered in your "tools" to hide it even more so. It is rare to see drawing driven by such faggotry.

Get some taste

I never claimed it was my own work. You've never copied another artist? I like to as a warm up, it helps to feel the lines they made.

You're a stuck up bitch. Take your thumb out of your ass, it would help your art.

Where can I see more of your work? Can you scan that image? It's really fucking rad.

for pocket books or smallish books for the edc, then moleskine.

for larger stuff, literally anything that has smooth white pages.
One of my fav brands used to have hardback all smooth bright white pages. That shit was so clean and cash, but then I one day after I had bought another one as per usual, I found that they kept the first and last pages stark white, but all the interior pages were cheap manilla bullshit.

Also, for the tiny moleskines, i really feel they've changed their paper in the last few years.
>>
>>3035679
i have a bunch, my favorite one at the moment is this little one with graph paper in it, i can't remember where i got it but the paper is super super thick, so it takes ink really well

i like smooth paper i feel like a lot of cheaper sketch books have like the worst possible texture for drawing, i swear. i mainly use those scrap books for kids because it's just good ol' newsprint and the lel so ironic colorful dinosaurs or whatever on the cover light up my hipster bonhwa.

i also like xanax

>>3039831
i think they did change their paper, i think i remember that, they changed factories i think, from europe to china maybe?, might be hallucinatory though, it's a very vague memory

What Masamune Shirow image are you referencing?

Non-watercolor moleskines are garbage now.
