SSTSS: DS #8 Hyoga

Lots of figure studies, again!

This is my first time finishing up one of the Daiso sketchbooks with the cute covers. The paper is comparable to the gray sketchbooks from Daiso also and I enjoyed it! Most of my pens worked well on it, and the glue binding is surprisingly sturdy.

I feel like the last few pages kind of fell apart in drawing quality, but that’s also around where I figured out I needed to do more foundation exercises in getting the torsos right.

Page Count: 80

Paper: Sketchbook from Daiso

Book Size: A4

Extra Notes: The paper is nice and sturdy! It can handle fountain pens, pencil and Tombow Markers.

Sampling of Pages

Lots of pens! On the final two days I worked through five fountain pens that only had about 20% ink left.

I love my fude pens.
