2021 Sketch Books

This is a curated collection of my 2021 sketch books. All of them! I've carefully scanned them in high resolution so you can also enjoy the finer details and textures. There are 6 sketch books within this ebook. From cover to cover, it is 166 pages. In them you will find my daily observational sketches, my comic diaries as well as my daydreams. These sketch books were handmade and I bound them with all sorts of papers. I'm not too picky. As long as the papers could take light washes, I'd use them. I experimented with all sort of mediums such as ink, watercolors, acrylic and even collage. I've included most of the pages in my sketch books in this collection, even those that were so-so. My sketch books are where I practice and try all sorts of things. And it doesn't matter if I succeed or fail, so long as I'm learning. I hope you enjoy looking through these pages!

Note that this is an eBook and not a physical book. You will receive the eBook in the PDF format, which you will be able to access using a variety of apps. You will also be able to view the pages as single pages or double page spreads!
