Talens Art Creation Sketchbook Review 📚 Sketchbook Tour/ Flip Through

[@Replicanna]

Just got one lately and have been drawing more than ever, it's just easy to grab and start doing something even your head is totally empty. They do have a white version of the paper, it has a straw colour cover and I think pink or yellow ribbon

[@warmyellowshade]

Yes, I agree there is something very cosy and accessible about them. Thanks for letting us know about the white paper version! I'll have to keep an eye out for those.

It’s refreshing to see someone use their sketchbook to think things out and try new things. I see too many perfect sketchbooks and it’s deterring. I’ve tried to do perfection and it makes me walk away from my sketchbook. Thank you for the assurance that it’s ok to have unfinished work. 😊 Beautiful work by the way-I am now a subscriber!

[@warmyellowshade]

Happy to be of service! 😁 I wish I had a pretty sketchbook to show but every day is not a good drawing day. But that's fine. My hope is that more people let themselves take a crack at drawing without the pressure of a pretty picture. Thanks for all the kind words and the sub! 💛

I’ve been using those sketchbooks on and off in the past years and I’m so happy they get a little bit of a hype right now. I started art college in October and almost everyone in my class started using them because they are affordable and the local art shop sells them, it’s so cute to see everyone with different colored sketchbooks running around haha. Also, your art is so beautiful and colorful! Great video!

[@warmyellowshade]

Ooh that's such a cute mental image! 💕 Yes, it's a really good value for money. Glad you liked the video! Thanks for checking it out! ☺

I love your sketchbooks! Most sketchbooks videos on YT are like flipping through a perfect artbook and it always make me feel bad about my sketchbooks. But sketchbooks are for experimenting and having fun with different material and trying out colours. And sometimes it looks a bit messy or incomplete.

[@warmyellowshade]

I understand that some people make their final pieces in their sketchbooks. But I agree, get as wacky as you want in there! 😜 It's more fun that way! 💛

[@smutnypersik]

i'm in love with your art style

[@warmyellowshade]

Thanks so much! ✨💛

[@frannySketches]

I wish I could like this multiple times- such wonderful art in your sketchbooks! I love that you view it as a playground, but wow your art is sooo inspiring!!! I’ll be coming back to this video whenever I have art block. Thanks for sharing!! 💕

[@warmyellowshade]

Thanks so much! Wish you could too! 😁👍 Happy to help out! Have fun sketchbookin'!

[@chelsyescalona]

Looved this video! I have a couple of those sketchbooks and I do enjoy them a lot, paper texture and color wise, have done only watercolor, ink, color pencil and more recently markers also new to this medium hehe, your sketchbooks looks incredible even when you keep them more loose and free, I loved this video!

[@warmyellowshade]

Thanks Chelsy! Yes, I can see why they are so well loved - I've gotten really used to mine. 😁 It'll be strange to work in something else.

[@berolinastrassmann]

I ❤ these! Your art work is beautiful and so varied. These sketchbooks are ideal for so many different media. I draw with graphite and coloured pencils, as well as Neocolor II and a bit of gouache. Plus, they are not so expensive so I am not afraid of messing up or using many pages to explore ideas. These are perfect for that. Thanks for your sketchbook tour!

[@warmyellowshade]

Thank you! ☺ Yes, I really enjoy drawing on this paper!

[@gorlheck5574]

Awesome sketchbook !!🎉

[@warmyellowshade]

Thanks a lot! And thanks for watching! 💛

Thank you for reviewing this sketchbook brand. I just ordered one and I'm so excited for it to arrive!

You're very welcome! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! 💛

They are very nice sketchbooks! Definitely can recommend them! 🖍

[@fionasimagination]

My go to had been moleskine until I tried the Arts Creations. I've been almost exclusively using them in all formats for 2,5 years now. They absolutely stole my heart. I also work in all mediums except alcohol markers with a focus on watercolours. Chalk pastels, as you didn't mention them, work really well for me in the sketchbook, too🥰

[@warmyellowshade]

I am sorely missing this large format now that I've finished it! I didn't expect to like a smooth paper so much. But I think I'll be ordering another. 😉 Thanks for the tip! 🙌

[@ChantelleArts]

this is amazing, such a good tour ☺☺☺

[@warmyellowshade]

Thanks Chantelle! Glad you enjoyed it. ☺

[@mommylhey]

Omg! I absolutely love your style! New subbie!

[@danbolton3180]

Turns out I bought three of these off of the clearance rack at Michaels last Autumn. I'll start using them one day, after I finish trashing my current Piccadilly sketchbook from Walmart. It has all my amatuer ink scratches.

[@warmyellowshade]

Oooh lucky you! My Micheal's doesn't carry them. I think you're in for a treat! 🙌

[@danbolton3180]

@@warmyellowshade I did start using one of these sketchbooks for watercolor. The pages buckle, but I got the pages pretty wet, so I'd say they are acceptable sketchbooks.

[@heymiokka]

i’m not really looking for a sketchbook but i enjoyed flipping through your sketchbook pages so much ❤ your style is so different from what i usually see on my feed. beautiful work 😊

[@warmyellowshade]

Well, that's awfully nice to hear. Thank you! And I'm glad you enjoyed the video. ☺💛

[@warmyellowshade]

Aww, thank you Ruthy! Glad you enjoyed it! ☺💕

[@katarinaholik]

I have it and love it. I did a 100 heads challenge in one of those. Loved it. I have one for my “ugly” sketchbook, and it is a place to experiment. Affordable price makes it feel less wastefull, more comfortable.

[@warmyellowshade]

Yes, I agree! 😊👍

[@ireneurban3599]

fantastic what you achieve with these sketchbooks 🤩🤩🤩

[@warmyellowshade]

Thanks Irene! They're really fun to use! 😊👍

[@mzebony]

These do come in white paper, but it seems to be in Europe because I ordered mine from Artemiranda in Spain, and in only specific formats. Your drawings are cute and inspiring. Keep creating 💛💜💙

[@warmyellowshade]

Good to know! I just checked the Jackson'sart website and they do carry the white paper. Hopefully it makes it over to North America soon! Thank you and I will! ☺🙌

[@theresematthews5705]

Where do I find pictures like yours? I'm not good at drawing unless I copy on any books. Love your pictures 👌

[@warmyellowshade]

Thank you! Here is a link to my Pinterest Boards if you want to take a look around. pin.it/1Ryxa1Lpq Copying from people you admire is a great way to learn! I'll make a video soon about some of my favorite books. 💛

[@lunayen]

I didn't know they could handle watercolor so well. While I do occasionally use them, I have only started to experiment using water based markers and colored pencils. I like them, but I don't like how they make squeaky sounds whenever I draw with an H mechanical pencil. Ps: while the majority of the Talens sketchbooks have cream paper, there is a line where they feature prints of the old masters on the cover that has pure white paper.

[@warmyellowshade]

At the beginning, it's a little strange to paint with watercolour on such a smooth surface. But the paper gets "rougher" as you go. It's not watercolour paper of course, but yes I was surprised at how well it tolerated the layering! I don't use hard pencils but I can imagine squeaks can get a bit annoying! 😊 I haven't seen those around! I suppose they haven't made it to North America yet. But very cool. Thanks for letting us know! 💛

[@Amy4000]

I kinda like a little paper rumple.

I don't mind it that much either 😅👍

[@heathersky8218]

Hi! Thank you for ur review! May i ask whether posca bleed through this one??

[@warmyellowshade]

I mostly used it on top of gouache, and it didn't when used that way. I think it could possibly bleed if you use it really heavy. I hope that helps! 😉

[@kimcarig714]

I use watercolor as my main medium. Planning to buy this sketch book that's why I watched this video. Do you recommend it for watercolor? thanks!

[@warmyellowshade]

If you are planning to mostly use watercolour then I would stick to a watercolor sketchbook. It’ll be much more enjoyable to paint on thicker paper! You can paint in this sketchbook but it is limiting and you will have considerable paper warping. I would recommend a watercolour sketchbook instead! I hope that helps! 😊🎨

[@kimcarig714]

@@warmyellowshade oh I see. Thank you so much to your honest suggestion. I think should uae this as my mix media sketch book. not my main, since I have oil pastel also. :)
