1. How old are you?
I am now 19 years old
2. Did you go to any art school or academy?
No. I took Studio Arts in senior high school. It's not from that class that I learned evreything I know. I did learn new things from the class, but not to do with fashion illustration or manga drawings. I went to a regular high school, so it doesn't specialise in art.
3. How long have you been drawing?
I'm pretty sure I started drawing at 6. I got into manga drawings when I was 11 years old, I started teaching myself how to draw manga when I was 13 years old. I started developing an interest in fashion design also when I was 11, but I pursued that interest or taken it further at the age of 14. So, I would say I started drawing fashion illustration at the age of 14.
4. How do you draw the models? Do you use any templates?
I started out by tracing models from magazines which is harder than it sounds, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. Then of course, I searched all types of videos on KZread and some sites as well on Google, which unfortunately, I don't remember. How I learned to draw my models is using the 9-Head technique.
5. Where do you get your inspiration?
I get my inspiration from music, photos on Instagram, Tumblr fashion trends, things that I love. There are times where I am just in an Artist's Block and I feel really brain dead where I can't draw. Or I force myself to draw and it never turns out to be something that I like.
6. Do you have any links or books you can recommend?
Definitely! Fashion Illustration by Anna Kiper and Fashion Poses for Fashion Illustrators by Sha Tahmasebi are two books that I own at the moment. I'm hoping to get more. These two books are very helpful if you're a beginner or even if you want to be a bit more advanced.

I appreciate how direct this DIY video is. thank you. So many have the first 10 minutes of talking, rambling, tangents, etc which I find HIGHLY annoying. Yours was very pleasant to watch. I hope to make one soon.

Kimberly Johnson yes it is so beautiful
I made it, I didn't have enough leather in one colour so I pieced three pieces together with copydex and made it like yours after that, except I made some holes on the front to thread elastic through for holding pen pencil and waterbrush, and inside I made a felt pocket for a card with blobs of watercolour paint on. I really like it, thank you for inspiring me with your video
I'm a publish writer and always need paper with me for note taking and this will be a great idea ! Thank you for taking the time to share this great idea!
perfect tutorial, thank you. I'm not a planner person so the idea for a mixed media type travel journal was new for me and I needed this help.
Thank you for such a clear, easy to follow video. It's great, and has inspired me to make my own!
Best video I've seen so far on how to make a TN...I will be making a few for clients, I know they will love your method best..great looking TN!

OMG thank you so much! That means a lot :3
So simple to follow! Thanks for showing people how to do it step by step (surprising how many other ones fail to do so). Best thing is we can use existing tools to make these rather than buy one from the shop and never use it again.
I've recently discovered the Midori traveler's notebook and I became fascinated in it, especially since I recently began writing a journal (and I have a soft spot for leather). But, being the thrifty person I am, I wanted to have a look into the design to see if I can make my own instead of paying £30 for one off Amazon. So I found your video, and as I suspected its a simple concept with great potential. Great video, informative and practical. Now I just need to go around local charity shops to pickup all the materials.

Hello! My friend linked me to this video, and I'm so very glad that he did. Your video used simple explanations and materials and helped me a lot since other videos show a whole range of materials I probably couldn't afford to buy or find where I live. great work and thank you so much!
Really perfect demo! Very clear instructions, great walk through, and a really lovely notebook. Thank you very much.

Thumbs up. This is just what I had in mind for a back pocket notebook. (Too bad I had to wade through six other vids before this one.) I make my own inserts now, so I'll dimension the cover to match. Best Idea = the pocket divider!
i really love this
Good idea!!

+Leticia Ferreira Netto Thank you so much! :D
I made myself one yesterday. I've been looking at buying one for the longest, but I can't justify paying 60 bucks for a sheet of folded leather given my current life situation. I found that spray-on adhesive is a lot easier to work with than tape and glue, but I imagine any sort of adhesive would work. Thanks for uploading this video!

Akagism Awesome! I definitely know what you mean. I would think spray adhesive would work better, but I didn't want to buy one since I had the tape and glue already at hand :)
Wow, that was fantastic
