About this Class
I would like to share my online classes offer guidance with technique. To follow an instructors work mark by mark is really impossible. Though the steps on making your own hard cover sketchbook work pretty good. I would suggest you follow those, but the other Ideas I do hope you are sparked with your own ideas and add them to what is presented here. There is a lot to learn between the two different approaches. Take a look all the information provided here, even glace at the frequently asked questions to help you decide.
