365 Artwork Challenge: My New Moleskine Sketchbook

Following the trend on using a Moleskine Sketchbook, I finally able to buy this ridiculusly expensive sketchbook. But it’s all worthed because the quality of the paper is significantly different than any sketchbook that i’ve used before.

Here’s me with my new sketchbook:

365 Artwork Challenge: Trying Something New! Drawing in a Cover of a Notebook

Another new challenge and a new idea for my artwork. It started when I saw another plain notebook. This time it’s my boyfriend’s Moleskine notebook. A great quality notebook with endless possibility to make art;)

I come across Shoo Rayner’s Drawing School again and decided to make his Mayflower tutorial on Youtube as the cover of the notebook. So this is my artwork #46:

You see the plain cover Moleskine on the background. I used Sharpie Permanent Marker Ultra Fine Point for the illustration of the Mayflower and Stained by Sharpie for the calligraphy. “Project” is a title for the notebook since my boyfriend use it for his work project ideas. I’m thinking to draw another illustration for his other two notebooks that will be titled “Basic” and “Accounting”. I know, it sounds boring hahaha… but I will make it ‘less’ boring by drawing something interesting on the cover there soon.

Here’s another close up of the artwork:
