Can I use markers or watercolor in the Fuxi sketchbook?

It is made for dry media. Fineliners work, but alcohol markers bleed through and watercolor will buckle 100 gsm paper.

Can I tear pages out cleanly?

Yes. The sheets are micro-perforated and come out at a full 9 x 12 inches.

Is it good for left-handed artists?

Yes. The coil sits above the page, so it does not get in the way of either hand.
