Finding a passable sketchbook at an art store is fairly simple and commonplace, but nothing fuels that creative energy like constructing your own sketchbook. You can add your own personal touches to the book, and really make it one of a kind. Your homemade sketchbook will not only function as a unique piece of artwork in and of itself, but it can save you from spending a lot of money on generic, store-bought sketchbooks.

1. 1

   Gather your materials. Collect all the materials you will need to construct and design your sketchbook:

   • 20-30 sheets of drawing paper – Size A4 works well or even 9"x12" or 11"x14".
   • Patterned paper – This paper is for decorating the outside cover of your sketchbook. Depending on how you want to decorate you can use 3 different patterns for the cover of the sketchbook, the spine, and the interior of the sketchbook covers (endpaper).
   • Cardboard – To make the covers of the sketchbook. Consider using thick paperboard rather than corrugated cardboard; it' rather feeble.^[1]
   • Glue – White school glue works just fine for painting the materials.
   • Needle and thread – Using a thicker needle is advised, as well as thicker thread, such as string, yarn, or hemp.^[2]
   • Ruler
   • An awl or pushpin
   • Pencil
   • Small paintbrush or sponge brush

2. 

   2

   Create your sketchbook signatures. Create 3-4 piles of paper with six sheets of paper in each pile. Fold each pile of paper lengthwise, in half, so that you make a little booklet with multiple pages. One little booklet is a "signature" of your sketchbook. The signatures make up the pages of your sketchbook, and make binding your sketchbook a lot easier.

   • Depending on how big you want your sketchbook to be, you can adjust the number of signatures you use. However, the more signatures you use, the harder it'll be to bind your sketchbook and the bulkier your sketchbook will be.

3. 

   3

   Mark your signatures for binding. Stack the signatures on top of one another, and line up the top, bottom, and folded edges. Use a pencil to draw four, evenly spaced vertical lines across the spines of the signatures.

   • It is very important that the marked lines are all even on the signatures. This will ensure that the sketchbook pages line up uniformly once bound.
   • The lines nearest the top and bottom of the signatures should be at least an inch away from the edges.^[3]

4. 

   4

   Poke your binding holes. Unfold each signature so it lies flat, with the outer spine facing up. Use either an awl or a pushpin tack to push a hole through the lined markings on each signature spine.

   • Be sure to keep the pages of each signature aligned so your binding holes are all evenly placed.
   • Once the sharp object is pushed through all sheets of paper, consider wriggling the poking object around a bit, to gently widen the holes. This will make it easier to fit the thread through.^[4]

5. 

   5

   Cut your binding string. Gauge how much binding string you need to use by measuring the length of the signature spines. Then take that measurement from the top end of the spine to the bottom, and multiply it by how many signatures your sketchbook will have. For example, if the spine is 10" long, and the sketchbook will have 4 signatures, cut your binding string at least 40" long.

   • Always err on the side of caution. Cut more string than you need (about 45" of string), rather than cutting too little string, and running out as you thread.

6. 

   6

   Thread the needle. Feed the string through the eye of the needle, and tie the ends of the string together, so it is double threaded.^[5]

   • Your knot should leave about an inch of extra string from the end of the knot. Let the needle fall to the middle of the string.

1. 

   1

   Sew the first signature. Take one signature and thread the needle through the bottom hole, going from the outside of the signature, through to the inside of the signature. Pull the thread all the way through, so the knot of the string is up against the spine of the signature. From the inside of the signature, thread the needle through the second hole, moving out. Pull the string taut. Then, thread the needle through the third hole, moving from the outside of the signature, back in. Finally, thread the needle through the last top hole, moving from the inside of the signature, out.

   • To know if the binding looks correct, the string between the two middle holes should run along the outside of the spine.

2. 

   2

   Sew the second signature. Stack the second signature on top of the first, having both spines line up evenly.^[6] Since the needle ending at the top of the spine for the first signature, you will start threading the second signature at the top hole. Thread the string through the second signature's top hole, moving outward, in. Finish threading the needle through the second signature's binding holes in the same fashion as you threaded the first signature, swapping directions. The needle should finish at the bottom of the second signature, going from the inside, outward.

3. 

   3

   Attach the two signatures together. With the needle and thread coming from the bottom of the second signature, loop the needle around the knotted end of the first signature. Pull the needle around, over the knotted string to make a loop, and feed the needle through the hole to make a new knot.^[7] This newly formed knot will secure the second signature to the first signature.

   • Be sure to loop the thread of the threaded needle in the space between the knot and the first signature.
   • If the securing knot is made on the free end of the knotted string, the signatures will not be secured to one another, and the securing knot will slip off the end of the string.

4. 

   4

   Bind the rest of the signatures. Sew the rest of the signatures in the same manner you used for the previous signatures. If you are only using three signatures, when you finish threading the third signature, there won't be a knot to tie the third signature onto. In this case, make a knot with the needle and thread around the string holding the first and second signature together. If you are using an even number of signatures, you will finish threading on the bottom, and be able to make a securing, final knot around the original signature knot.

   • Once you have sewn all of your signatures, make your final securing knot and cut off the rest of the string. Again, be sure to leave a small amount of space on the string you cut.

5. 

   5

   Trim the pages. The edges of the signature pages may be a bit uneven once they are all stitched together. If they are, and you want them evened out, use a ruler to measure 1/8" from the edge, mark the straight edge, and then cut off 1/8" from the pages' edges.

   • Consider measuring the width of the signature pages after you trim them, so you know the exact dimensions of your pages.

1. 

   1

   Measure out the front and back covers. The covers for the sketchbook are going to be the same width as your signature pages but will be ¼" taller on the top edge. To find the measurements of the covers, trace your bound signatures (folded) onto the board you're using to make your covers. Fully trace the signature pages twice, one tracing to make the front cover, and one to make the back cover. Once you have two tracings of the signature pages, measure ¼" above the top edge of the signature pages tracing. Make two marks; one mark ¼" above the spine side, and one mark ¼" above the free edge side. Connect the ¼ inch markings horizontally, so you have a straight line ¼" taller on the top edge of the original signature pages tracing.

   • When the tracings are finished and expanded by ¼" at the top, use scissors to cut out the two cardboard covers.

2. 

   2

   Cut out the sketchbook spine. The spine of the sketchbook will be the same height as the covers, but the width will depend on the height of the bound signature pages. Use a ruler to find the height of the bound signature pages, and use that measurement as the width of the sketchbook spine. Once you have your measurements, cut the spine out of the cardboard.

3. 3

   Cut out the cover paper. Trace your cover cardboard onto the paper you want to use for your cover paper. Once you have two complete tracings, use a ruler to measure 1½" from the top edge of the two tracings. Make two marks on each tracing; one mark 1½" above the spine side, and one mark 1½" above the free edge side.

   • The finished products should be two pieces of cover paper that are equal in width to the sketchbook covers, and 1½" taller than the cover boards.

4. 

   4

   Measure the cover paper. Use a ruler to measure and draw a ¾" line from three edges of the cover paper. The cover board for the sketchbook should fit within the ¾" lines.

   • The only side of the cover paper that shouldn't be measured is the side that will be on the spine of the sketchbook.

5. 

   5

   Cut the cover paper. With the two intersecting lines that measure the top and vertical ¾" measurements on the cover paper, draw a 45-degree angle line just above the intersecting lines. Then, cut along the 45-degree line. Fold the cover paper over to the inside face of the cover board to see if the cover paper fits correctly.

   • The amount of left space between the intersecting lines and the 45-degree angled line should be very little, about 1/32".

6. 

   6

   Trace out the spine cover. Place the cut out sketchbook spine on the paper with which you've chosen to decorate it. Trace the spine on the paper, and then trace vertical lines extending 1½" out from both sides of the spine, and ¾" horizontal lines from the top and bottom of the spine.

   • The end result should look like a big rectangle, with a centered skinny rectangle that's the same size as the spine of your sketchbook.

7. 

   7

   Cut the endpaper. Cut the two endpaper sheets to be equivalent in height to your signature pages, but twice the widthwise. Then fold the two sheets in half.

   • Be sure that the patterned side of the endpaper is facing inward when folded in half.

1. 

   1

   Glue the cover papers. Lay the cover papers on a flat surface. Use the glue and a paintbrush or paint sponge to coat the cover papers with a thin layer of glue. Completely cover the inside sections of the papers with glue, where the hard cardboard pieces will be. Place the cardboard pieces onto the papers, and press out any air bubbles that form once the cardboard pieces are on the paper. Coat the cover papers edges (that are sticking out) with glue, and fold them in to the insides of the covers.^[8]

   • To help the covers dry smooth and evenly, lay heavy books on top to keep the covers from curling or bending as they dry.
   • If the glue is really thick, you can thin it out a little bit by mixing it with some water in a small dish.

2. 

   2

   Glue the spine. Lay the spine paper on a flat surface, and cover the middle section (where the spine will go) with a layer of glue. Place the spine inside the drawn-out parameters.

3. 

   3

   Attach the covers to the spine paper. Once the spine has had some time to dry, apply a thin layer of glue to one side of the spine paper, next to the spine. Place one cover on the spine paper, leaving about 1/8" to ¼" of space between the spine and the sketchbook cover. Do the same thing on the other side of the spine, attaching the other cover to the spine paper. When both covers are glued to the spine paper, add a small amount of glue to the top and bottom edges of the spine paper, and fold them in to the inside of the sketchbook. Add some heavy books to the glued pieces of the sketchbook so they can dry uniformly.

   • Remember, the outside covers of the sketchbook should be facing down on your flat surface.
   • Be sure to press the spine paper into the spaces between the spine and the covers.

4. 

   4

   Glue the endpapers to the sketchbook covers. Cover the back of one of the sheets of endpaper with a thin layer of glue. Make sure the entire back surface is covered. Then place the endpaper on the inside of one of the covers.^[9] Align the edge of the paper to be at the edge of the spine-side cover. Glue the other endpaper to the inside of the other cover, aligning the edge of the endpaper near the spine-side of the cover.

   • There should be a small amount of space between the edges of the endpapers, and the open edges of the sketchbook.

5. 

   5

   Glue the endpapers to the sketchbook signatures. On one of the endpapers, coat approximately ½" of the spine-side edge of the endpaper with glue. Fold the cover over (essentially closing the sketchbook), to align the glued portion of the endpaper with the last page of signature paper. Then flip the book over and glue the other edge of the endpaper to the nearest page of signature paper.

   • Once all the gluing is finished, lay a few heavy books on top of the sketchbook so everything can dry without warping or curling.

Add New Question

• Question

  Can I use chart paper for a sketchbook?

  

  Yes, you can use whichever paper you would like for a sketchbook.

• Question

  When I do my sketchbook, can I staple it?

  

  Stapling the edges of the papers while they are folded closed makes it so the sketchbook cannot lie open flat. This makes drawing inside more difficult. It isn't recommended, but if it is your only alternative, you may give it a try.

• Question

  Can I decorate the cover?

  

  Certainly! Be creative and make it your own! It is a book for art, after all.

• Question

  What do I use a sketchbook for?

  

  You use it for making quick sketches or to jot down ideas. You could practice techniques or maybe develop an idea properly. It's just a place in which you can make all your mistakes. A sketchbook may become invaluable to you.

• Question

  Can I use different binding stitches?

  

  Yes. It is your book. Be creative, make it your own and don't be afraid to be different.

• Question

  Approximately how long will it take to finish this project?

  

  It depends on how much time you dedicate to working on it, and how often you work on it. It could take anywhere from several days to several months in order to complete it.

• Question

  How do I draw pictures on my sketchbook?

  

  Use whatever media you prefer (pencils, pens, marker, crayons, etc.) to make marks. You might want to test certain wet media (like markers/sharpies) on scrap paper first in case it bleeds through. Don't worry about your drawings being "perfect," think of your sketchbook as a diary - it can be as messy as you need it to be.

• Question

  Can I use construction paper for the cover?

  

  Yes, you can use any type of design for your cover that you want. Construction paper will work well.

• Question

  How do I made a notebook without needle and thread?

  

  You can make bigger holes with scissors or a knife and thread the holes with yarn or wool.

• Question

  I have a sketch book that doesn't have papers in it, just the string and the cover. What should I do?

  

  You could simply follow the steps shown, but use that cover instead of making your own.

• If your binding string is getting stuck and knotted, consider using waxed string.

• Be patient when sewing the signatures together. You want to avoid tearing and ripping paper at all costs.

• PVA glue might offer better results for book binding purposes.

• The thicker the paper used for the inside pages, the less dense (fewer sheets of paper) the signatures should be.

Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

• Be careful not to crumble or wrinkle the signature paper as you sew it. You don't want it to ruin your final outcome.

• Avoid poking yourself with pins or cutting yourself with the scissors.

Necronomicon Ex Mortis Sketchbook

Necronomicon Ex Mortis Sketchbook

Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (Also known as "The Book of the Dead" and "Naturom Demonto") is the antagonistic object in the Evil Dead franchise. It has power to harness the Kandarian Demon's ability to control both the dead and Deadites, as well as summon the Kandarian Demon itself.

History

Creation

The origins of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis varies from universe to universe, though most state that it was written by one of The Dark Ones long ago, back when the they ruled the Earth and the seas ran red with blood. In two realities, the birthplace of the book was in a temple of what would be considered modern Egypt. Regardless of where it was created, the Ex-Mortis contained pages made from human skin, with it's images and Sumerian text inked in human blood. According to one account, the book's cover comes from the flesh of a powerful demon who had more control over Deadites than The Dark Ones did.

In another universe, the Necronomicon was written by a human named Abdul Alzeez in the year 730 AD. The Ex-Mortis of that world was actually a collection of ancient texts written by The Dark Ones, translated by Alzeez.

Written in the book were prophecies, funerary incantations, and demon resurrection passages. It is unknown how many copies and variations of the Necronomicon were written by The Dark Ones themselves before their banishment to another dimension, as the number varies from universe to universe, though most seem to have at least three copies at the minimum.

Discovery In 1300 AD

These three copies were eventually discovered in a graveyard in modern England (although how these books ended up in this graveyard is unknown). In 1300 AD, the time-displaced Ash Williams journeyed to this graveyard and took the real book back to Castle Kandar, where it was locked away in a tower for many years. Shortly after Ash brought the book to the castle, Evil Ash and his "Army of Darkness" attacked the castle, wanting to take The Necronomicon and use it to conquer the world, but the combined armies of Lord Arthur and Henry The Red defeated them.

Rediscovery In The 20th Century

The Necronomicon and Kandarian Dagger, perfectly preserved in the ruins of Castle Kandar (Evil Dead II).

Long after the castle was abandoned by the knights and kings, the ruined castle was where Professor Raymond Knowby, Henrietta Knowby, Annie Knowby, and Ed Getley discovered the Necronomicon and the Kandarian Dagger in the early to mid-1980's. Raymond and his wife Henrietta took the book and dagger back to their cabin in the mountains and left their daughter Annie to continue her work at the archaeological site. At some point between the time-displaced Ash taking the book to the castle and Professor Knowby rediscovering it, a handful of pages were torn out of the book and hidden in the ruins castle, with Annie Knowby finding them after her father and mother returned to their cabin. When Raymond Knowby arrived to his cabin, he began to study and translate his latest find, reading out-loud and recording a passage that awoke an evil spirit in the woods surrounding the cabin, causing his wife to become possessed by a Deadite. A week later, a group of five friends found the cabin and decided to spend the weekend there, and unknowingly summoned whatever evil the Knowbys unleashed just a few days ago by playing Raymond's recording of the translations. After fighting his Deadite friends for most of the night, Ash Williams finds himself surrounded by his possessed friends. Just when all hope seems lost for him, he decides to toss the book of the dead into the fire in the fireplace, causing the book's flesh bound cover to let out a scream, and stops the Deadites in their tracks. It's presumed that this version of the Necronomicon was eventually completely destroyed and reduced to ashes since it was left in the fireplace for several hours.

Annie Knowby, holding the "missing" Necronomicon pages (Evil Dead II).

The following day after Ash Williams destroyed the book brought to the cabin by Raymond Knowby, Annie Knowby brought the missing pages of the book to the cabin. One of these pages contained a spell which opened a hole in time and space, and another contained a prophecy describing the arrival of "The Hero From The Sky" in 1300 AD. Annie later used the page containing the space-time vortex spell to send the Kandarian Demon back in time. The usage of this spell also caused Ash Williams to accidentally get sucked into the vortex also, thus fulfilling the "The Hero From The Sky" prophecy mentioned on the other Necronomicon page.

The Book In The 21st Century

At some point after returning from 1300 AD, Ash Williams discovered another copy of the Necronomicon (quite possibly one of the other copies he discovered in the graveyard since the one he left at the cabin was destroyed). Williams then sought the help of the employees of the occult bookstore Books From Beyond with translating some of the spells within the book. This copy was then hidden away in a wooden trunk in Ash's Trailer for roughly 30 years, until (while under the influence of marijuana) he read aloud the spell that summoned the Kandarian Demon, once again throwing him into the world of Deadites and demons.

When Ash returned to the Knowby's cabin to try to bury the book in the cellar (which he believed would put an end to the demons once and for all), the blood of the deceased Evil Ash touched the book, and caused it to start talking. The Necronomicon told Ash that without him, Ash is a nobody, but when the book unleashes its evil, Ash gets to play hero. Ash then placed the book in the refrigerator, wanting to ignore the fact that what the book was telling him was true.

The Living Manifestation of The Book

When the book's creator, Ruby, cut the flesh face off the book using the Kandarian Dagger, the face flew across the main room of the cabin and landed directly on the face of Pablo Simon Bolivar. Although Bolivar did not know it at the time, the book had chosen him to become the book, slowly transferring the spells and incantations from its pages onto his skin.

Before his death, Pablo used his new powers "as the book" to try to send the demon Baal back to Hell, although Baal ended up transferring his spirit into Bolivar's body.

Passages, Abilities, & Characteristics

Ash opening the Necronomicon (The Evil Dead).

Known Passages & Spells

Awakening The Kandarian Demon

Recitation of this passage unleashed the Kandarian Demon upon the world of the living, normally close to the location where the passage was read. This was the passage read aloud and recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder by Professor Raymond Knowby while at his cabin.

Opening A Rift In Time & Space

The time rift has a powerful enough gravitational pull that it was able to suck in an automobile (Evil Dead II).

Another passage in the book allowed the reader to open a rift in time and space. Some accounts suggest that the reader's desired destination could be chosen by simply thinking about the destination while reading the spell, while others claim that the book itself chooses the destination. Annie Knowby read this passage in an attempt to put an end to the Kandarian Demon's assault on her family's property.

Funerary Incantations

Not much is known about the funerary incantations found within the book, although they are most likely used to help the spirits of the deceased move on to another plane of existence.

Prophecies

The "Hero From The Sky" prophecy, as depicted in the Necronomicon (Evil Dead II).

Through means unknown, The Dark Ones received visions of the future (or futures that could be). These visions were written down in the Necronomicon, some including detailed drawings (such as the "Hero From The Sky" prophecy).

A Guide To Demons

Two pages of the Demon guide section of the Necronomicon (Books from Beyond).

Besides containing various spells and incantations, the book also doubles as a guide on various demons, their powers, and how to summon them.

Resurrecting The Dead

Though it's famously known for being able to unleash the Kandarian Demon (which then creates Deadites), the book can also resurrect a deceased individual as a zombie (an emotionless corpse with no free will, obeying whoever possesses the book), or fully restore a corpse by repairing disintegrated flesh and the allowing the original spirit to re-enter the body. The Ash Williams of Earth-818793 used this resurrection spell to bring Sheila's deceased brother back to life as a full human to protect her when Ash couldn't stay in 1300 AD.

Transfer of Power To A Human

After being "de-faced", the Necronomicon can transfer its powers and spells to a human being. This was done to Pablo Simon Bolivar while at the Knowby cabin, and slowly over time, Pablo's body became covered with the various spells and incantations contained within the original book.

Potion Brewing Instructions

The Wise Man of 1300 AD discovered the recipe in the book for a potion that would allow an individual to sleep for a century with each drop they swallowed. This potion was given to Ash Williams so he could return to his proper time.

Rewriting History

The Necronomicon has displayed the ability to rewrite history to a certain extent. On Earth-818793, this spell was only able to work when the blood of the Chosen One was used to create the page, and Ash Williams used his blood to undo Evil Ash's takeover in his absence. In the "original" Evil Dead universe, The Dark One called Ruby used a somewhat similar spell to alter a predetermined destiny of a few individuals.

The Book's Abilities

Speech

The book itself is capable of verbal communication. In the "original" Evil Dead universe, the book was only able to begin speaking when blood touched the cover, while on Earth-818793, it always had the ability to talk, frequently telling that Earth's Ash how much it despised him.

Living Creature Absorption

The book absorbs the abilities of a scorpion (Shop 'Till You Drop Dead).

On Earth-818793, the book demonstrated the ability to take on the characteristics of a living creature it trapped within its pages (in this case, a scorpion that had crawled across the open book). This was how it was able to go from Egypt to the United States to once again torment Ash.

Concealment From Supernatural Entities

The book's author, Ruby, revealed that it's location can be hidden from other supernatural entities in one of two ways: either hidden within a corpse, or using a spell.

Destroying The Book

Even a chainsaw cannot destroy the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (Hellbillies and Deadnecks).

There is conflicting statements on if (or how) the Necronomicon could be destroyed. During the morning of Ash's second day at the cabin, he tossed the book into the cabin's fireplace. Shortly after the arrival of Annie Knowby and company, Ash was seen throwing a log into the fireplace, but the book nowhere to be found, so it's entirely possible this "cabin copy" of the book had a weakness for fire. More than 30 years later, Ash allegedly told Pablo Simon Bolivar that fire couldn't destroy the book that he now had in his possession.

The Ash Williams of Earth-818793 made multiple attempts at destroying his copy of the Necronomicon. Shortly after beginning his self-imposed exile from society, Ash attempted to cut the book in half with a chainsaw, but this proved to be ineffective. Several years later, following the complete takeover of Earth by Hell's Prophet, the book simply fell apart into dust after all the evil contained within its pages was unleashed upon the Earth.

In the world where Annie Knowby escaped Hell with a simulacrum copy of Ash Williams, she managed to destroy both the Necronomicon and Kandarian Dagger by throwing them into a fire pit, although this scenario was later revealed to be a simulation created by The Dark Ones.

Variant Incarnations

"Fake" Books

The three books seen in the graveyard (Army of Darkness).

Located in a graveyard in medieval England, two books were left to fool (or potentially kill) anyone who attempted to remove the real Necronomicon from the graveyard. One book had a large hole in the center of the pages that sucked in the potential thieves, while the other had the capability to fly and bite the unsuspecting individual.

On Earth-818793, the two fake books were said to be bound to the graveyard by a curse, unable to be removed from the area unless there was a serious tampering with the fabric of the time-stream and the nature of magic itself. In another reality, the evil clone of Ash Williams retrieved the books, revealing that they contain the same information found in the original copy, but could only be opened and used if the spell that was required to remove the book was said correctly.

Latin Necronomicon

On Earth-818793, a Latin variation of the Necronomicon was written by "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred. Not much is known about this version of the book, except it contained a prophecy that the world was going to end in the year 2012 AD. This version of the book was later acquired by Herbert West (who then gave it to Ash Williams in Las Vegas, Nevada).

Spanish Necronomicon

A Spanish version of the Necronomicon also was present on Earth-818793. It was used by resurrected "god" Montezuma to create a new army of the dead, but his plans were foiled by Ash Williams.

Evolution In The Films

The Evil Dead

The Book of The Dead, as seen in The Evil Dead

The book (originally referred to as 'Naturom Demonto') is first seen having a horribly mutilated face in The Evil Dead, thus bringing more meaning into being bound in human flesh. Also, the back side of the book has a human ear visible, possibly meaning that blood sacrifices were made in order to create the book.

Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn

The Book of The Dead as seen in Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn

InEvil Dead II,the book is officially called Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (what 'Book of the Dead' is translated from). The book pretty much retains all of its original features from the first film, but with a much darker color of brown and many of its pages are missing. The pages missing mean that the powers of the bookare much greater, as evidenced by the passages on the pages brought by Annie Knowby. However, it appears some of the passages, such as the time portal, are hard to control or can't be controlled at all.

Army of Darkness

Ash holds the Necronomicon in Army of Darkness

Due to this film taking place in 1300 A.D., the Necronomicon appears to be much cleaner. It also has all of its pages intact and the face on the front is much less mutilated, with the book having a more grayish color. The book is found in a cemetery miles away from the castle. As well as the main book, there are two other books at the site as well; one with a portal, and one with a living face. The book is shown to have, in this film, not just incantations, but also potions for certain things (such as giving the user the ability to sleep a century for every drop taken in).

Evil Dead (2013 film)

The Necronomicon Opened

The remake, has a new version of the Necronomicon, now once again called the Naturom Demonto. The book has neither the mutilated face nor the ear on the back. Instead, it is completely made of human flesh, stitched together very profusely and noticeably. The color is now more of a natural flesh-leather color with black rope-like stitching all around. The pages inside are stained on the border with blood and warnings written on the front page.

The book is first found wrapped in plastic and barbed wire and the pages have warnings and annotations scrawled on them to not read the text. Passages containing evil spells are also scribbled out with ink in an effort to render them unreadable, but Eric manages to uncover the missing words with pencil and paper.

Unlike the first film, the book is unaffected by fire. However, as well as containing passages on summoning demons, the book also contains instructions on how to destroy them as well as clues about their motivations and aims.

Trivia

• The Necronomicon was originally created by H.P. Lovecraft and was first briefly mentioned in his 1924 short story The Hound, and continued to appear in other stories, but it was later given its own short story in 1927 titled: History of the Necronomicon.
• In the original script of The Evil Dead, Professor Knowby's recording revealed that the book discovered in the ruins of "Ca'n Dar" was only one volume in a series of six books detailing Sumarian burial practices and rites, and "Naturan Demanto" was the volume (given only to sacred high priests of the Ca'n Dar tribe) that specifically detailed demons and demon resurrection. This information was ultimately scrapped for the final film.
  • The first draft of Evil Dead II later revisited the idea of the book being one in a series, cutting down the number of volumes to two (calling them "Nosfero Demanto, The Books of The Dead"). One book contained "good" magic, and the other contained evil spells. The separate "good" book was scrapped in favor of the "missing pages" brought by Annie Knowby and Ed Getley in the final film. The second draft of the Evil Dead II script re-titled the book as "Nosfero Ex Mortes, The Book of The Evil Dead".

"Since I was a child, I have always loved drawing.

As an architect, I was trained to sketch on site in my first year of my studies. I have always considered sketching a wonderful tool in my job to understand things, more in the field of spatial relations than in their material aspect.

On the other hand, I have always brought a sketchbook with me in my travels as a much more effective way of keeping a memory than a photograph. But lately my travel sketches tended to be too few and too quick.

I have recently found Urban Sketchers, and then discovered the immense joy of sketching outside with no particular task. Reading Usk's manifesto, I feel especially sensitive with the point of keeping a record of time and place, and I'm changing from sketching just architecture to understand the city as a big scenario for human activity.

I live in Málaga, a city in the south of Spain with more than half a million residents and 2,500 years of age; but also the center of a busy and lively metropolitan area, home of an active harbour and a big tourist destination. Now that I have two small children and I do not travel as much as before, I'm trying to show this mixture of old and new in my drawings. It is so rewarding to share my work with so many excellent artists and receive continuous feedback from other members! And, last but not least, to learn from other parts of the world.

I'm delighted to join Urban Sketchers."

Somi appeared on the July 31 episode of "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" to showcase her talents and talk about what she's been up to!

She began with a cover of Bruno Mars's "Treasure," putting her own spin on the song. Check it out below:

The first time Somi had been on "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" was when she was still in middle school as a member of I.O.I in 2016, and she talked about returning to the show as an adult. When asked what the first thing she had wanted to do when she turned 20 [by Korean reckoning], Somi said, "As soon as it was midnight, I went to go buy beer with my dad so I can show them my ID card [to prove I was an adult], but they didn't ask for ID," and "I haven't been able to film any endorsements for alcoholic drinks because of my age, but now I can. To all the advertisers out there, please call me."

Somi also talked about how songwriting has become a hobby for her as she said, "I have an unreleased song called 'The Watermelon Song,' and I created it when I was eating some watermelon and thought it would be fun to compare eating a watermelon to falling in love." She shared a snippet of the song, and Yoo Hee Yeol praised her bubbly interpretation of love.

Finally, Somi performed her latest title track "What You Waiting For." Check out the performance below and don't forget to check out the music video as well!
