Hello and welcome! In this video I will be reviewing the Royal Talens Art Creation sketchbooks. I will cover the basics of the sketchbook, and a few positives and negatives of cream colour paper. Then I will tell you about my experiences with different traditional mediums in the art creation sketchbooks, showing you examples of sketches in those mediums. I also recommend some artists you can check out who use particular mediums in art creation sketchbooks either for just sketching or for making finished products, in order for you to gain a better understanding of some mediums on this paper. I will cover graphite pencil, colour pencil, ink pens (fineliners), brush pens, ballpoint pens, acrylic markers, alcohol based markers, water based markers, watercolour, gouache, and touch on some artists you can check out for acrylic paint and oil paint. Finally I will tell you my overall opinions of this sketchbook, what I love it for and what I don't.

*DISCLAIMER* This is NOT sponsored. I bought all of the sketchbooks shown in the video with my own money, and base my opinions on my own experiences using and filling multiple of these sketchbooks. Every artist has different preferences for their art supplies, and your preferences may be different to mine. I hope that by showing you examples of different mediums you can gauge if this is a sketchbook that you may love, like, or hate before picking one up.
