Finally finished the leg and feet exercises!

Other hand exercises.
I started to like drawing hands for a little bit. I used to avoid drawing hands like it was some kind of disease or something lol.

I'm learning how to draw hands. I'm pretty much struggling, but i truly enjoy this process.

I was torn between these two canvas fabrics, but in the end i picked the red waves.
Those cat head patterns are too big for A6 size bookcover 😅

I love how the sketchbook looks.
I didn't add a permanent elastic band on the cover because i don't like the bumpy feeling inside the back cover.
So i decided to use a loose thick rubber band to keep the book close.

The spine has been sewn, glued, and covered with thin paper.
In total it has 44 sheets or 88 pages now!

My Youtube 2024 Recap is here. I wonder why it's so early for this recap? I thought it would be out in mid or late December 👀

I'm thinking about adding more signatures.

Oh i forgot to mention i'm using Sea Lemon's stitches for book binding

I always like the simplicity of the stitches and i can open the pages flat.

My Teranishi Guitar Gentle Green is here 🥳
A green-blue ink with red sheen.
I was contemplating getting either this or Taccia Sabimidori, they got similar coloring.
GG has a more greenish shade that made me fall in love in the first place, so i picked that one.

Thank you, @monomaniaid.bsky.social!

Uh i think i finally mixed the sanguine-ish color ink that i have been wanting to create 👀
I used conte charcoal pencil as a comparison (not exactly the same shade, close enough for me).
Slightly lighter than the mixing i did a couple months ago.
November 7, 2024 at 8:36 AM
I swatched the mixing into my tomoe river paper notebook. You can see miniscule red dots in the ink.

Too bad the mixing didn't work, because it did create the inkwash effect that i was looking for 🥺
