Coptic stitch

One of my old commissions. Had to explain the book binding technique using coptic stitch, in 7 steps. (I learnt coptic stitch from this tutorial~by SeaLemonDIY)
It was the first time I tried to illustrate a tutorial for explaining things. I just had to create the illustrations, and the text was going to be added later to the pages.

  2. Oh yes! Do check the video link. Its easy to follow. I saw some books where they use thin wooden board(really thin) for the cover sheets. And the wooden textures looked stunning! Im so going to try it some day.
