Finally broke in my new moleskine sketchbook. I had a smaller version of the one I have now (this one is about 5″ by 8″) and had a lot of trouble with it, but with the larger one I find theres much more breathing room. Although I get pretty annoyed at the Moleskine company itself, as these notebooks aren’t as good as they could be, it’s still quite a nice notebook.

Since this was the first page of a new notebook, I put some time into it. I think the hair is a little bit too big, but all in all I’m happy with it. Around 3 hours with all of the structure and rendering. No reference, purely an exercise in construction:

Apologies for the scanning, the settings are still a bit off

Also, big thanks to my friend Andres for giving me his old scanner, drawing board, and a really nice 18×24 art pad carrying case. I wish him a safe trip back home to Ecuador!
