How I made a "bigger-on-the-inside" TARDIS for my sketchbook!


As you might have seen in my first instagram reel, I made a TARDIS for a Tenth Doctor page that folds out to be bigger on the inside, showing the interior from his era. I got this idea from this pinterest tutorial on how to make a mini aquarium for your sketchbook.

For the most part, I followed the instructions, with a few changes. 
          • I made it a vertical rectangle, with similar proportions to the TARDIS.
          • I drew the TARDIS on a seperate piece of paper to stick on the front 
          • Instead of adding fish, I drew the TARDIS interior in the same size as one of the sections, then photocopied it twice so I would have two identical sections. 
Some additional notes to make sure it works well:
          • Make sure the TARDIS console lines up with the fold
          • Don't make the exterior too much wider than the actual mechanic, because the extra gets folded over when it is opened
          • When first put in your sketchbook it can be quite thick, but it will flatten a lot over time

This was a very fun activity for me to do, and it looks great in this Tenth Doctor page! I love adding interactive elements to sketchbooks, and I am always looking for something new to try.

Creating A Colour Palette!

I found this awesome website called Coolors - it's an easy way to generate colour palettes that can be used for a bunch of different things! I actually used it to create the colour theme for this blog! I'm definitely going to be saving this for if/when I start doing more digital art! (Click "READ MORE" to see the colour palette I made!)

Creating my Profile Picture + experimenting with colour!

Image
  After my post on creating a colour palette , I decided to draw a new profile picture that matched the colour scheme. Because it was going to be a pretty important thing, I did a few thumbnails to work out what colours I liked best. I vaguely based it off a photo of me, however didn't actually look at the photo when I was drawing (hence the wonky attempt at drawing the 0.5). Using bright colours that I wouldn't usually use for people was really fun, and something I would like to get a lot better at. I was originally going to only use this as a practice then use digital art to create the final result, but I liked my "practice" so much that I decided to use it as the real thing.  I ended up turning this little practice into a full spread, as I tried using the different shades of blue I had available to draw a person. I've been having a lot of fun with my sketchbook lately, going back to the basics after experiencing some burnout from making my spreads more and more...
