Handmade books


Here is a collection of four books that I made during a weekend bookbinding class. It was a lot of fun and great to learn different binding techniques.

Swimming Turtle - complete


I finished this illustration a while ago but I have only got around to posting it here now. I'm not happy with how the water turned out. I'll have to give it another go some time. I don't think there is enough depth in the water. I like how the turtle came out though, even if the paper I used wasn't the best for colored pencils. I've since been using smoother paper to get a crisper edge on my line work. The WIP can be found here.
