excerpts from my sketchbook

January –  March


 

 

In the last several months I have desired a more structured way of creating. From using mainly acrylic and enjoying a more art journaling type of approach, I have been using my sketchbook more and more recently. I really wanted to find a good way to translate the things in my imagination to a drawing on paper. So after a few months of learning and exploring I have a small collection of pages from my sketchbook that I am happy with. Enjoy.

Hello!

I have one page left in my main art journal, and I really wanted to do something with the cover. I thought about and tried to find some inspiration for it. In the end I came up with this:

Here is my process. I started with this; but I didn’t really like the look and feel of it.

I printed off a coloring page, and cut it out:

Now, on the actual journal cover, I glued a used coffee filter on. I like using used tea bags and coffee filters in my art because the old vintage-y look really appeals to me. We were going to throw it away anyway right?

I painted and colored it, trying not to overthink the process.

When I had the elephant how I wanted it, I glued it on!

I then wanted to accentuate the elephant , giving it a more 3-d look, and I added a title strip, with dates.

Ta- Da!

Hope you enjoyed!

I love art. I love creating, in general. Right now this is my main art journal, but currently I have 4-5 I’m working on. This one is almost done, and its gotten pretty full of painty, chunky, crinkly yumminess.art journal edited

I don’t always finish pages, and I don’t always like how they look.Some are rather odd, and just weird. But art is just about the process, and let me tell you , 90% of my pages aren’t finished/pleasing to look at. But they eventually get finished, because I just keep adding and throwing more paint, and they get better.  There’s a huge difference between my early pages and the pages I’ve done recently, probably because I started it in September-October 2014.lady with no head aj page

I do really like some of my pages though.

The original quote is 'you have glaxies inside your head stop letting people tell you that you cannot shine.' But I tweaked it some.

And when I started getting into the whole art realm, I started with drawing, or more specifically, when I read one of my aunt’s Zentangle books. So stop letting people tell you that you cannot shine.
