Prismacolours in Sketchbook

[Sanby]

K, I got a bunch of prismacolour markers for christmas, and I would like to use them in my sketchbook. But, they go right through the paper. I have 65LB paper in the sketchbook (I think). What sketchbook should I get so that I can use them without having the colours go through?

i always just put a small piece of cardboard in between the paper when using wet media.

That's a good idea, I never thought of that. I think I'll just do that, it's prolly easiest.

New question. Can they actually be blended nicely together like is shown on the box? How do I do this?

prisma colors are a bitch to use, imo, but the grey tones are fugin awsome.
since im very inexpierenced with the color prismas my comment may or may not be useless to you.

however with the grey tones you use a blender to blend different shades, colors etc. and with the grey tones you will do one pass, then go back once it drys a bit to darken it. rinse and repeat. if you have access watch a feng zhu tutorial, he is great at using these.
