I don't remember how I got this sketchbook but it was most likely a birthday gift (again), and I appreciate it. This is my most recently finished sketchbook and my favorite. It originally started as a sketchbook I was going to submit to the California Institute of the Arts. I unfortunately never finished in time and was pissed that my admission fee waiver didn't go through, so I just used it as a scrapbook. This is the bulkiest sketchbook; it is adorned with a collection of things I gathered and gifted, it has obvious remnants of the people I love and care about, evidence of places I've visited, and many other relics of my experiences.
I'm pretty sure this sketchbook was a birthday gift from a family friend. This continues the bulky sketchbook saga where the sketchbook results in a product rivaling building bricks. The pages feature doodles, notes, and art contributions made by friends throughout the journey. This sketchbook helped characterize my sketchbooking style, mirrorring scrapbooking, and pop-up books.
I don't remember the origin of this sketchbook, but it was used to its fullest extent. It was the start of my bulky sketchbook saga. The cover includes multiple stickers, including sticky notes made by friends that I stuck on the cover. Inside has highlighted pages that include inside jokes and doodle contributions made by friends. The sketchbook was a mixture of doodles, sketches, and scrapbooking.
I don't remember when I got this sketchbook, but it was a handmade gift from my closest friend. They made and painted the sketchbook while I added my little additions on the cover. Compared to my recent sketchbooks, this sketchbook is much thinner, and I would argue it is taken care of the best because it was a handmade gift. Regardless, I still love it very much, and many of the pages include drawing requests from friends.
