Here is a new bonus video for you all! ๐ซถ๐ป You guys voted for a cozy sketchbook session and I had so much fun filming it! ๐ In the video I work on filling up an A5 size page with faces using just my mechanical pencil, a smudge tool, and an eraser :) It felt so nice to take a little break from digital art and relax with traditional art again (I only double tapped the paper twice haha ๐)
