SSTSS: DS #10 Soho Ackerman
Soho Ackerman I wasn’t sure about this paper at first b/c I haven’t used pencil in so long, but using the lead clutch on it was incredibly fun. I finished this so fast it’s kind of a shock to me. Toward the end I started using some watercolor washes and I feel like one to…

SSTSS: DS #12 Arch C Forever 21
Arch C Forever 21 A GIANT SKETCHBOOK I got this to practice drawing really big and honestly, it was too big. I don’t have the space for it at my desk and it was really unwieldy. Every time Dash tried to sit on my table he’d fall off b/c there’s no room for him. The…

SSTSS: DS #5 Capicorn
SSTSS: DS #5 Capicorn Lots of Experimentation This is one of the biggest sketchbooks I finished this year. It took quite a while but I was able to try lots of different media in it. I wasn’t quite sure about the orientation and the spiral at first, but the paper won me over in the…

SSTSS: DS #6 Dohko
SSTSS: DS #6 Dohko All Figure Drawing A sketchbook full of just one subject! I have not done that in a long time because it gets so tedious, but this one was much easier since it was more focused and I’m getting more confident as I draw. Half way through the sketchbook I saw someone…
