Homemade Sketchbook & Art on Vacation (Artist Vlog)

Welcome back to my artist vlog! In this creative process vlog, I'm sharing all about my recent family vacation to California and how I made art on the go.

Discover my journey of making a sketchbook from scratch specifically for travel. I'll walk you through a homemade sketchbook making process, including a bookbinding tutorial for beginners. You'll see how I prepare an embroidery book cover (even with a time crunch!). 

I also delve into the major dilemma of hot press vs cold press watercolor paper and explain why I chose to test Arches watercolor paper for this trip. See what art supplies for travel I packed and how they performed for art on vacation, including sketching at the San Diego Safari Park.

My intention with these vlogs is to learn from other artists and offer insights into the real creative process. As an artist vlogger illustrator, I hope my artist travel tips and this diy sketchbook tutorial inspire your next creative adventure!
