if you haven't watched my previous videos about how i've changed the sketchbook slam process,
how i've made this book, you can check that out in the description, but the main detail is that i
did not do my 30 days consecutively. i spaced them out, and it took me about five months to actually
complete this book, but did not spend more than those 30 days on it, for reasons that i think are
obvious, but you can check that out if you want. i don't really have much more to say about this
other than i reiterate that a lot of this is done by references found online, which means that i
can't really use these in my artwork, because i'm sketching from images that have their own
copyright holder, so a lot of this is not going to be very original. i'm going to try to make a list
of things that i did in this book, in case you want a list of ideas, and at first, i thought that
i would use lots of charcoal but i found it really messy and i think i just got tired of spraying
every page all the time. and i switched to mostly pen and stuff later. and it bounced
around a lot more in the beginning and i don't know if you've tried this, but for me, trying to
think of things to draw took longer than the actual drawing itself. so a few things i thought
might be kind of interesting to try for yourself is when i was doing a lot of hand drawings,
i turned to a lot of sign language images so that i get a lot more interesting poses that way.
at one point, i also wanted to learn how to make nice looking lettering and just design with words,
so you'll see a lot of weird stuff in this book that is just me practicing with song lyrics and
quotes from books and stuff that i thought were interesting. but yeah, this took me a really long
time to flip through and i love the sketchbook, and at the end of this video i will have a
playlist where i put all of my sketchbook flip throughs, if that's the kind of thing you like.
jesus.
