Ohuhu A5 bleedproof sketchbook, 150gsm

A compact A5 sketchbook that’s built for marker work, the Ohuhu Sketchbook A5 double sided bleedproof pad is designed to help you create on both sides without ink pooling or bleed through. With 150 GSM smooth drawing paper, it supports clean strokes and reduces the risk of later pages getting marked, so you can work freely and keep your layout neat. If you like alcohol markers, this is the kind of marker pad that makes travel sketching and everyday doodling feel simpler.

The essentials

This Ohuhu sketchbook gives you double sided bleedproof protection, which matters when you are using alcohol based markers. Instead of worrying that one page will show through, you can sketch, shade, and layer colour on both sides of the sheet. It’s especially useful when you want to complete a page and move on without the frustration of ghosting.

The paper weight is 150 GSM, which is a solid choice for marker techniques because it feels heavyweight enough for comfortable drawing. The surface is described as ultra smooth and marker friendly, helping the nib glide and reducing fraying, so you can build detail without the paper fighting back. Another practical point is that the paper is made from responsibly sourced FSC certified materials, and the sketchbook is noted as being made to reduce paper whiteness.

You also get a lay flat experience thanks to a heavy duty spiral binding that opens to 360° while you draw. That helps whether you are working at a desk, on the sofa, or in a sketching spot while travelling. The micro perforated edges and tear out pages make it easy to remove sheets when you want to show finished work, file it, or switch to a new page quickly. ✍️🎨

Key features

Bleedproof technology is the standout feature here, described as advanced protection to prevent ink pooling or bleed through. That means you can create freely on both sides, with less risk of your colours appearing on the next page. When you are using alcohol markers, having this double sided protection can make a noticeable difference to workflow, particularly for shading and fuller colour fills.

The sketchbook is a 60 sheet set, which equals 120 pages, giving you plenty of space for practice, character sketches, and colour studies. Paper quality is part of the design, with a 150 GSM drawing paper that is intended for smooth blending and clean results. It is also described as acid free, which supports archival quality for longer lasting artwork.

There is a blending focused angle too, with the paper crafted specifically for use with Ohuhu markers to support seamless blending. If you like a smooth gradient look or you want to mix tones without harsh transitions, this is a sensible match for alcohol marker techniques. Keep in mind that the cover is described as a blank marker pad cover, so you will need to add your own design rather than expecting a finished artwork cover.

For the cover, the sketchbook uses a 300 gsm card stock paper cover that you can DIY. You could paint it, draw on it, add stickers, or create a custom cover for a personal sketchbook style. If you prefer to mark your creative tools with your own branding, that extra freedom is useful rather than decorative. 😊🖊️

Who it’s for

It’s a good fit if you want an A5 sketchbook that handles alcohol marker use with double sided bleedproof protection. It suits creators who draw on both sides and prefer not to think about ghosting while they work, including beginners who want straightforward results and more experienced illustrators who still value paper behaviour. It also makes sense if you travel with markers and want a compact pad with lay flat comfort.

It might not be a great match if you do not use alcohol markers or you are primarily after a sketchbook tailored to dry media only. You may want to skip it if you prefer a ready made cover, because the cover is described as blank and intended for you to customise. If you are building a marker routine, though, the combination of bleedproof design, smooth paper, and lay flat binding is a clear advantage for day to day creative sessions.
