Don't let my sketch examples fool you, I increase the contrast in Photoshop before uploading. Fineliners and brush pen look a bit faded instead of pure black, but the results with my calligraphy pen are very poor - streaky, patchy, and leaky.
I knew it was not designed for water-based media, but I expected it would at least handle ink well, and it doesn't. To that I wonder "What quality?", but apparently some folks loved it.Ĭonsidering all the hype about Moleskines, I was very disappointed with this particular sketchbook.

Update 2023: My review is many years old and I never had the inclination to purchase another one, but from what I've heard online, the quality is not what is used to be.
I switch between different techniques, so I favor sketchbooks that can handle multiple wet and dry mediums.I sometimes buy sketchbooks when I travel, but I rarely buy them online because of high shipping costs. Many of the sketchbooks I've featured here are purchased locally. I live in Croatia, which means I don't have access to many brands which may be common where you live.(I'm also deleting discontinued sketchbooks.) I have quite a few more on my shelf that I haven't even had a chance to try yet, so you can expect more updates. I've been updating this review collection with many new sketchbooks that I've been testing over the years. I'm a sketchbook addict - whenever I come across a sketchbook that looks promising, I must have it. My Sketchbooks Comparison & Reviews: Canson, Moleskine, Hahnemühle, Strathmore, Clairefontaine.
