Thank you to my patrons for making this video possible! ♡
This is the biggest sketchbook I've made so far! Big books are a bit intimidating because there's a higher chance the cover boards will bow. Also, they're more awkward to work with due to their size and weight. I'm really glad it turned out well. I used 160 gsm Fabriano Accademia paper in A3 size for the signatures and assembled the book using long stitch binding. If I made this again, I would space out the signatures slightly further apart and maybe reduce the number of sheets per signature as page turning feels a bit stiff.
