What a Way to Finish a Sketchbook!

Hi friends! I call myself a “Sketchbook Floozy” because I have so many sketchbooks going at once. Because of this, I can be working in the same book for years, and today I filled the last page of a 9″x12″ Strathmore Toned Tan book with this drawing:

You can find a real-time, narrated tutorial for this figure drawing in Critique Club (June 2025 #2). You also get access to all past Critique Club lessons (150+), monthly creative prompts, and the ability to upload your work for feedback from me! All for one low monthly price! Below you can see the time-lapse video:

I will post a sketchbook tour of this book in a few days. Not all of the pages are pretty, there are a lot of messy working sketches in there, but it’s still fun to look back over work I had forgotten about. Til then, happy crafting!
