    Default My favorite SketchBook Was destroyed . :(

    The binding came apart from the inside.

    Anyways, the main focus of the thread was that The decorations on the cover was so awesome!

    I used some sort of Fabric Paint, and put that onto the cover with Runes , and all this other cool stuff.

    I also did this awesome design on the cover, where I had managed to get the book cover to resemble very realistic looking face of somebody who had their skin flayed, and stretched across a book.

    such a pity that I had to discard the book.

    why did you throw it away, just because the binding came apart? you could've saved the front and back cover, and the pages. or just glued the whole thing back togther.

    Tried that . Also, Most of the pages were ruined.

    I tried to save the papers, but a bunch of them were ruined before that.

    Anyways, the main focus of the thread was to tell about the cover art I made. I wasnt bragging about the art, or complaining about the book, but was just sharing it with everybody.

    My problem is I loose what I still have.

    most of what I write I scribble on scrap papper or notebooks or anything that is around me. a few days latter or so and I go back to type it I can't read it. I can't read a single word. I remember that it was great but the emotion is lost trying to figure out what the hell it was suposted to be about in the first place.

    Maybe foot or cliffnotes would help? (Btw, arent those the same type of notes, but with a different name ?)

    I think that the foot notes are on the bottom of the actaul notes to give a better description. and the cliff notes are a seperate work that sums up the absic and relevent points of the notes in an "easy to understand" format.

    I had an art class last simester, and for our final portfolio we had to submit more or less every thing we did that simester.......Well, as I was walking to class, a sketchbook fell out of my backpack (as the damned zipper broke) and landed in a puddle of water. The point of the story is I know how you feel, and I need to get a new backpack. Anyone have any suggestions?
