I wanted a newsprint sketchbook so I could just do loose sketches without caring about wasting good paper. Except it turns out that newsprint sketchbooks are stupid expensive $20+ for large pads.

So I grabbed 50 sheets of 15x22 inch packing paper from Walmart for $5, sons scrap cedar plywood and some twine and made one. It sucks. It works. Minimum viable and all that.

But I had to test it. Nothing says "let’s be prepared to ti throw this away by drawing a symmetrical subject with a brush pen.

My wife says she is going to color it.
