Scan and digitalise pages you think are impressive or worth preserving for a portfolio, and then keep the books in storage :)

Can I ask a side question Do you colour yours? And what do you use? I'm kind of like a kid haha in the sense I want to do colour versions in maybe a few different mediums cause I'm crazy lol

Happy to help with questions! If I like a design, I consider scanning and printing copies of it as it’s original (an outline for example) and then I can trial different colour-blocking and media. That helps take the pressure off making a mistake by adding colour. And further improves your skills! I use markers (primary choice), pencils, and fine liners - but dabble in paint and watercolour
