I use the ZenArt bullet journal and sketchbook and love them both. As a writer and an artist, I like to keep notebooks by subject matter. I am currently using the ZenArt bullet journal you featured to keep notes, ideas, lists of things to do, etc. for my next novel and the sketchbook is easy to carry with me. I love the paper quality of both! I mostly use gel pens in the bullet journal with very little bleed through. I have tried various mediums in the sketchbook as well. Of course pencil is great, but I've also tried watercolor pencil, lightly washed out and some pen and ink. I have to be a little careful of the pen and ink - if I put down too much ink, of course, it will bleed through. I simply switched to a Micron pen for the ink work I wanted and they work great. Thanks for the video! It really helped me make a decision, and I'm very happy I went with the ZenArt products.

I love the idea of the bigger notebook! I just ordered a discbound notebook in a larger size, and I'm really thrilled!

Nice I noticed you did not go for a DIY Arc System? You could choose your own paper and cut it...
