Thanks! Moleskine isn't great tbh, and I've found some of their sketchbooks have more texture one side of the paper than the other. I tend to stick to strong colours, and try not to do anything too subtle. I'm terrible at using 'good' sketchbooks though - they just stay in a drawer for some reason!
