This is something I’ve newly made as part of the show preparation.

I’m wondering what exactly the English term for this sort of book is…  
Is “artbook” a correct name for this item?  
Does “pen drawing & message artbook” make sense? 🤔🐈

Either name is good, but I like the simpler “artbook” the most. I’d also call it “wonderful”.

Artbook, Art Book (with a space), or even Art & Design book seem to be names of this type of thing. (that’s what some of the Sonic art books are called in English) The cover titles sum it up well! 🐈

Hello Terri, thank you so much for your kind comment. Then I will call this book simply “artbook”. 🐈 👍 😃

Hello TheMustardSeedLife, thank you for your kind feedback. Yes, I was really glad when this title came to my mind while making this book. I realised that it was what I wanted to convey most. 😃 👍 🐈
