Hello there! I saw your art on Twitter and I wonder, what brand is the sketchbook you're currently using which is not meant for watercolor? I'm a total beginner when it comes to watercolor, but I'm trying to practice while at uni, etc. (where proper watercolor paper is not accessible), and therefore I'd like to know what kind of sketchbooks I should avoid, just in case. Cheers!

Hi! It’s a Creadu sketchbook and that’s.. all I can tell you about it, since there’s no info on the book itself and I can’t really find anything about this particular type on the internet for some reason. And it’s not really that bad for watercolors, just that the paper is quite thin (I think it might be a bit less than 100 g/m / 67 lb) so it buckles a lot, but comes back into shape a bit when it dries. (It’s the brown one here if you’re interested)

Hope I'm not bothering you by sending another message (feel free to leave it unanswered, I don't want to clutter your page), but I just wanted to let you know that I'm really grateful for your feedback! If I ever have a chance to use this Creadu sketchbook, I will definitely keep what you told me in mind. Also, the sketchbook on top looks simply gorgeous. <3

Oh no, don’t worry, you’re not bothering me at all! I’m glad I could help :D and yess, to be honest I bought it only because the cover’s so pretty, but the paper is waaay thinner than the Creadu one, haha.
