Review: Leda Art Supply Sketchbook

[@essietangle9931]

I have noticed this brand on amazon several times, nice to see a review on it.

[@Daniel-tx2vt]

You are easily the most reliable art KZbinr, almost everything i want to buy you’ve had a video of it.

[@LeaGalTan]

This is my absolute favorite sketchbook brand. I have at least one in every size and I use them almost daily with pencil, pen and ink, and sometimes watercolor. Thank you for another excellent review and your sketches are excellent!

[@garjog1]

Thanks Debbie. You are Leda's biggest fan.

[@LeaGalTan]

GJ Gillespie --Thank you for making exceptional art supplies!!!

[@T--wg7qc]

Wow your art style is very beautiful, it's so smooth.

[@septimiusthedestroyer7394]

I thought you got lowered into the molten metal pit?

[@rcp.illustrations]

Never thought of sketching with rainbow colored pencils! Looks so great when you do it, makes me wanna give it a try :)

[@heyitsme2057]

i’m currently using the Leda Odyssey for all my art. I like it! i got it as a gift, and it’s a bit big for me. If i got it myself, i would get it smaller, but it’s not a huge deal

[@schwarzkopfschaf5599]

This is my go-to sketchbook for years now, currently it is out of stock for german costumers but as soon as it is in stock again I will buy 3 at once! The moleskine in A5 is too small, but A4 feels to huge, thats s current struggle of mine 😅

[@monkfan72]

Great review! I have the Leda sketchbook, but have not used it yet. I am excited to give it a go!

[@roxymendez3499]

Very nice sketch with Different mediums you should do a lot more sketches like this they look amazing

[@cherylannillustrator]

Thank you for a great, detailed review, (i’ll be getting my sketchbook tomorrow) and, love your ice cream stand sketch, wow!

[@tashedwards99]

love the idea of using two different coloured inks.

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

Oh this is one that looks very good.. I've got a collection of sketchbooks now and darn you make me want another one. !LOL ! Thanks Teoh... good review.

[@artsideoflife]

Thank you for checking the sketchbook for us :) I really like the design of it but probably I will not use it for watercolors if I get it :)

[@garjog1]

I works for my watercolor, but the pages crinkle. I think it is nice.

[@tresdivine]

This is such a fun review. Love watching the calming bustle of orchard road too.

[@teohyc]

+Joe Wtmn Thanks 😁

[@sugarcandy654]

This sketchbook is beautiful,but I can't add any more sketchbooks to my collection,I already have too much

[@teohyc]

I also have a lot. It's going to take me a really long time to fill this up.

[@garjog1]

Just make a sketch each day. You will increase your skill and fill up your books quickly.

[@Peacelover1212]

I have the same problem lol. Whenever I see a great sketchbook I can't not buy it even though I still have tons of them at home

[@barbaratesini3454]

I really like the way you draw

[@arlifox8138]

Beautiful sketch lovely video thank you 😊

[@jeremyg371]

thx Teoh I might have to pick this book up, it looks very pretty. thx again.

[@somethinguncreative]

I live and die by your supreme ability to find a line.

[@teohyc]

+somethinguncreative lol. Just keep practicing

[@nicolle2126]

I honestly don't buy sketchbooks anymore since I like the flexibility of making my own, but every time I see notebooks that look as nice as this I buy them anyway (I need to draw more to get through all of them ;-; )

[@higherground711]

I'm seriously considering this sketchbook now. It takes the mediums you used a lot better than I thought it would. If it can take water based markers without bleeding that's a good reason for me to get it. I have a lot of them because I love their vibrant colors. I've got to tell you this. I was playing with some scraps of Stillman & Birn Beta paper I have a couple of days ago. I tried some Sharpie Ultra Fine tip permanent markers and also a black Sharpie permanent marker with a chisel tip. I was amazed lol. No bleed through! o.0 Very very minimal show through with the black marker, I mean I could barely see it. None of the others showed any signs of any of these. It's totally cool. So now I'm going to try some of the other practice watercolor papers I have and see if the same happens with them. Water based markers can have a little variation in color on cold pressed watercolor paper from what I've seen. By the way, those impressions of ink lines will disappear or be a lot less visible if you put a black sheet of paper under the drawing. I don't know if this will work for scanning, but it works for a friend of mine who photographs items in his sketchbook. Apologies for the long post, but I just wanted to tell you these things. ^_^

[@teohyc]

+James Barton The Stillman Beta sketchbooks are thick so they have minimal bleed through with markers but I do still see some. So while scanning, I would have a black piece of paper behind.

[@higherground711]

That's good to know. When I get scanner I know a black piece of paper behind it would work pretty well. Awesome. ^_^ That helps me. Thanks Teoh.

[@garjog1]

Most customers say that the Leda bleeds with markers. Some people still like it because the paper is so fine and appealing. Heavy markers bleed to back of page and they are OK with it.

[@margkruzel9104]

Hi Teoh. Love the review and your videos. Can you please state what pen you used for the ink portion of the active sketching. Was it a TWSBI?

[@teohyc]

That's a Pelikan M200 fountain pen. www.parkablogs.com/picture/review-pelikan-m200-fountain-pen

[@richgrisham2842]

Your review of this sketchbook is vunder-ful !! The only question I have is: ven you use the rainbow pencils, do you find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? If not, I would definitely return them and have them replaced with a set that does that !!! Again, danke fo' the review.

[@teohyc]

+rich grisham Thanks 😂🤣

[@fatma.abdullah7166]

I like

[@fleetfooted]

Came here for a sketchbook review, subscribed because your work is really cool.

[@kuvira44]

Your sketch is so cool 😍

[@teohyc]

+Lourdes Ortega Thanks 😁

[@potassiumc]

Can I write with a fountain pen? Doesn't tear paper? Does not pass ink to the other side?

[@teohyc]

Ink will not pass through but you may see impression of ink from opposite page

[@TheMidnightAssassin]

Would this sketchbook be able to take watercolour pencils?

[@teohyc]

Yes but the surface is too smooth so it's not really for pencil use.

[@MegenLc]

How many sketches do you usually do in a day?

[@teohyc]

+Megan Cope Maybe two if I'm sketching. I don't draw everyday

[@glasshalfsunny]

Hi Teoh! How would you compare this sketchbook to the Stillman and Birn Epsilon softcover? I have both in my Amazon cart and just wondering which way I should go. Thank you for your reviews! I always try to use your afiliate links! :)

[@teohyc]

Stillman and Birn has different types of paper. The paper in Leda is smooth and more suitable for pen and ink, not water media or markers.

[@jaquelinmiguel4073]

What water colors are you using pls answer

[@teohyc]

Watercolour? Daniel Smith.

[@luchocairo8717]

Nice work...

[@teohyc]

Thanks :-)

[@SharonNolfi]

Teoh, have you ever noticed an odor coming from the sketchbook cover? I can't stand the smell on mine, even after airing it out. The paper is fine. What is your experience with the odor issue?

[@teohyc]

Mine doesn't have that odor

[@19markz67]

Teoh. Thank you for the reviews. How did you get started sketching? Have you always been an artist? I am an architect. I have been sketching in a continuous series of books since 1985. However, I don't think I am as prolific as you are. Do you sketch everyday and how many sketches per day? Cheers.

[@teohyc]

+19MarkZ I started sketching maybe in 2009. I don't sketch everyday. I spend too much time making KZbin videos 😂

[@19markz67]

The videos are great. I love that I can be in California and feel like I am connected to an artist in Singapore. Keep working, you have a wonderful fearless style. You take on any subject matter. Plus, I too am an art supply addict!

[@coconutmilch2351]

came to check out the sketchbook but stayed for your drawing XD

[@teohyc]

Thanks 😁

[@ericahirschfeld904]

I have one of these sketchbooks and I absolutely love it but I've filled it and need a new one. Unfortunately shipping from Leda Art Supply to Canada is really expensive, does anyone know of a similar product available in Canada?

[@teohyc]

Maybe check Amazon?

[@dextergoffney9300]

What type of watercolor pencils do you use ?"

[@teohyc]

It's actually a Koh I Noor Magic Pencil.

[@yoink6299]

What's the size of the sketchbook you have in the video?

[@teohyc]

That is A5 size, medium.

[@yoink6299]

Teoh Yi Chie ok thanks, I think I'll buy it after I buy my pencils

[@AndreaMotas]

which size are you using here? Still stuck between getting medium or large

[@teohyc]

+Andrea Motas Mine the A5 size. Medium. Large is a bit too big and when drawing outside you will definitely need some support to draw on.

[@garjog1]

The size is 8.25 x 5.5 inches. A bit wider than most A5 books.

[@ElcluasicoChuuad]

what size is this?

[@teohyc]

A5

[@chuchuu1877]

Wow I didnt expect this to be new video I thought it is old video

[@teohyc]

Why? LOL

[@chuchuu1877]

Teoh Yi Chie so I was watching your old videos, and they recommend this video I thought it was old, and when I looked at the comment section there was no comment so I was confused then I realized it's a new video This was unimportant 😂 Anyways, I love your review!! I wish I could go outside and draw like you

[@prissscilla9952]

please link me to the pencil you referred to as magic!

[@teohyc]

+stargirl It is made by Koh I Noor

[@garjog1]
