Any suggestions??

I use an Arteza 9×12 hardcover watercolor book. I’m not sure I’d recommend it for colored pencil work though, the texture is a bit strong!

I will definitely do that, I am totally struggling with the light on this because I am (no one look at me) using a photo instead of a proper light set up. Gosh that makes it harder! I really appreciate your advice- it’s so hard to know what to do next as a beginner

Yes, I LOVE his books! I found them last year and this year decided I wanted my illustrations to be a little more polished and realistic so found this website. They are a great pair and the nature journal is a fun low-stakes way for me to practice.
