Book Reviews of Moleskine Sketchbook Large

Book Review: too "waxy" and lusterless
Summary: 3 Stars

I found the paper to be too "waxy" and lusterless to be useful as a true art Sketchbook.

When I draw nude [censored], I had a hard time configuring the overall shape on this paper.

I use Paper Mate Flair Porous Point Black Pens, Kimberly Graphite Drawing Pencils by General Pencil Co., Sanford Design Sketching EBONY Pencils and Colored Pencils for Drawing.

I also use homemade boar hair pen sets, using an old chicken bone and paint made from natural sources.

Moleskine Sketchbook Large isn't particularly great for any of these but I have a lot of pens to choose from and eventually I did find that the total package is very nice. It's wonderful to take along to sketch with some big marker even, or for anything else more serious, it's not as good.

Priced well here when on sale.

I love the feel of the premium Mole [censored] hide cover.

For a great artist Notebook, I'd get a Leuchtturm Plain Notebook instead.

The Leuchtturm Plain Notebook is equally expensive, or cheaper, as the similar Moleskine Large Sketchbook. The Leuchtturm Notebook looks nice and it has some much superior writer/artist Paper stock.

About 1/2 inch wider than the Moleskine, with a table of contents, numbered pages, and some cover and spine labels. The cover is not as oily either. The paper takes my pens/colored pencils/Drawing Pencils in a very agreeable manner.

Compared to the Large Moleskine Sketchbook (I found the Moleskine paper to be too "waxy" and lusterless to be useful as a true art Sketchbook), the Leuchtturm Plain Notebook is far superior. I'd go for the Leuchtturm Plain Notebook over the Moleskine since it has it has some much better Paper stock for Drawings, no annoying oily cover, and is 1/2 inch wider than the Moleskine.

Summary of Moleskine Sketchbook Large
