I’m thrilled to share my very first sketchbook flip-through video. This sketchbook spans from October 2021 through March 2022, and it’s filled with over 60 pages of creativity. You’ll find a mix of animals, nature-inspired art, and a few fun characters sprinkled in.
Check out the video below to see the full flip-through.
I’d love to know which page is your favorite! Head over to the YouTube video and leave a comment sharing your pick—I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. 😊
