New Sketchbook!

Was looking for a new sketchbook to do a lot of inking on. Mainly Sharpie pens and liquid white out. Hard to find a good quality sketchbook that doesn't bleed through, especially a small format book with lots of pages. Was told of the Moleskine sketchbook, known for it's smooth, yellow tinted paper which surprisingly holds ink very well. The sketch of Totoro (shown up above) gave it the biggest test so far. The paper did bleed a bit, but not much. So far, so good.

I think allowing the paper to show its character is important. Even the bleeding and buckling. For pure and clean lines might as well use a computer. It is the imperfections that make the tangible hand drawing so attractive.
