Handmade Sketchbooks.

I recently made two of my own sketchbooks using a variety of different papers including tracing paper, old opened out envelopes, parchment paper, etc. I used different papers since I'm really bad at sticking with one sketchbook, and in hope that this will keep me interested until the end. This will also help me with different approaches to different paper and media, helping me become looser in my illustration work. To make these books I used the coptic stitch binding method. For a first attempt, I don't think they came out too bad, they could be a little neater but that will come with practice I suppose.
