- I have been using the illo sketchbook for the past month, painting all my mermaids and other watercolour heavy drawings in it. But I have the old version of the sketchbook and people tell me it changed?

Hi Dina,
awe I feel so sorry for the founder, Anthony. It must be tough to not understand what's going wrong with his product and that he's disappointing his customers.
Thank you for making this! I knew something was up. I've not been too pleased. I feel like I complain every-time I use mine with watercolors.
touch touch touch touch
Shane dawson if he did art ( conspiracy theory )🤣😂😊😋
Would you be able to do a full sketchbook tour when you finish that one? It looked really cool when you were just paging through it, and I’d love to be able to see it more thoroughly.
If they ever fix their paper, could you please do a video alerting us of the change back so we know when we can buy them again? Thanks for reading!😊
On the bright side.... if you draw a person with a lot of freckles you don’t have to draw the freckles yourself? Lol idk I’m just trying to look for something to laugh at
Omg! I noticed the same thing! I got an lillo sketchbook in August and the paper worked wonderfully with watercolor (which I primarily use). Then I got a new illo in February and evertime I use watercolor it gets the little freckles that dont go away after drying. I thought for the longest time that I got a faulty sketchbook, and that it was only mine. I wish I were right, but I guess they did change the paper. I love illo sketchbooks and I hope they realise their mistake and change it back! Awesome video btw :)
This I suspect may be a sizing issue looking at the level of seepage to the back of the page. All paper has some degree of size due to the binder used to bond the fibers - then additional sizing is added either at the pulp stage, to the surface at pressing or both depending on it's intended purpose. Drawing papers are usually surface sized to provide a hard surface and tooth as well as preventing ink feathering. Cartridge papers intended to stand up to a wide variety of media will usually be internally sized too. I suspect this is not the case here based on how absorbent the paper becomes once the surface sizing has dissolved. There has also been a trend to move away from traditional gelatin size to appease the vegans. Some of these vegan friendly sizings, often starch based, I do not think work as well as a surface size with wet media.
You could use the freckles as an advantage in your drawings. The unicorn looks really pretty with the freckles.
obviously the freckles aren't good when using watercolors.. but I think it it's kind of cute on this illustration at the same time (:
Wow that's a very huge and obvious difference. Hopefully they can figure this out and fix it for the next batch of sketchbooks.
I hope they go make to the original paper! Love the video!
No one:
also forgot to mention: i love love LOVED the speed sketching!! i always get so sad when things get cut, i hope you do it for more videos!!! (i also understand that it's probably time consuming and stuff to edit more things but i personally would not complain if there was more speed stuff instead of just completely cutting it out)<3333
It's good to see that a few CZcams artists are starting to say the same now about these Illo sketchbooks. It's helpful for us sketchbook hunters 👍😊
It's so sad... I was starting to warm up to the idea of getting one of these or the smaller one eventually, but I don't think I could risk it. They are quite expensive (and shipping to Canada literally doubles the price).
wowwww! i nearly bought one yesterday, so that makes 2 reasons why im glad i didnt go through with it! 1st and major reason i withheld is because the shipping cost to the UK said it would come out to $53.95, making the total $68.19.... like what the heck is that about?!!! for one 8x8 sketchbook that is craaaazy steep!
I noticed mine performed differently than yours and rin's. I'm pretty sure it's the paper and I'm really disappointed.
