00:00I can't run shell or file tools here, so this is straight script.
00:04Seven paragraphs, blank lines separated.
00:07Hey, artists, if your markers keep bleeding through the page and ruining your drawing,
00:12this video's for you. I went through some of the best bleed-proof marker pads on the market so
00:17you don't waste money on flimsy paper that buckles and smears. These are the best deals for bleed-proof
00:22marker pads every sketch artist needs, and I'll tell you which ones are actually worth your time.
00:28First up is the Kids' Watercolor Marker Drawing Book at $26.70.
00:33It's a full-student art sketch pad built for watercolor and marker practice,
00:37and with over 4,700 units sold and a 4.7 rating, it clearly holds up.
00:43The best feature here is the paper itself, it's formulated to take wet media without
00:47turning into a soggy mess, which is honestly the whole point for anyone working with markers.
00:52Worth buying if you're practicing at home or buying for a young artist,
00:56since it's generous with pages and still priced fairly for a dedicated practice pad.
01:01Now the A5 Sketchbook Hardcover Spiral Notebook for $13.99.
01:06This one's a 150 GSM Terrible Layflat Pad, and that spiral binding is the feature that makes it
01:12stand out, it flops completely flat on your desk, so your wrist never drags across a wet marker line.
01:17It handles acrylic markers and colored pencils equally well,
01:21and at 4.8 stars with 4,600 sales it's one of the safest buys in this whole list.
01:27Grab this if you sketch in small spaces and hate craning over a page.
01:31The Professional Sketchbook Thickened Drawing Pad is the cheapest one here at just $6.38,
01:37and honestly that price is wild given it has a 4.9 rating, the highest of anything in this roundup.
01:42It's a thick and craft card notebook with a black card cover, designed specifically for painting,
01:48sketching, and marker art. Worth buying, plain and simple.
01:52It's the budget pick for when you're doing rough concept work and burning through paper fast,
01:57and for that price you can buy 3 or 4 without thinking.
02:00Next is the Sunflower Farm Sketchbook A4 at $14.77,
02:08That weight is the key feature,
02:10180 GSM is thick enough that markers won't bleed straight through to the other side,
02:14so you can lay it on a table with a towel underneath and keep working.
02:18It's a proper heavyweight drawing pad for pencils, markers, and art supplies in general.
02:23Its 4-star rating is the lowest here, but for a beginner-friendly everyday sketch pad,
02:28the value at that price is hard to argue with.
02:31Alright, that's my roundup every link for all 5 pads is in the description below,
