I remember back when I started with art journaling, I wanted to have all the art supplies in the world before even considering creating a journal page! Of course, it's nice to have many various art supplies, but they should not prevent you from starting with art journaling. In fact, sometimes all you need are basic materials that you probably already have, like a regular sketchbook and a simple black marker, like this one I have bought from Ikea.
This whimsical girl does not only appears to have an elongated face, but also an elongated neck. Extra-narrowed long necks were what I used to draw when I first started with art journaling, but in time my girls became more realistic. However, this girl like many others is not inspired by any photo or real people. The faces are the fruit of my imagination, that's why...
How have you been these months? What's new in your art journal(s)? Drop a comment and say hi!
As I was saying in my last post, these days we might actually draw/sketch more than usual and that's a good thing for the psychic, right?! And all I can say is that I encourage you to do the same, drawing has such a relaxing effect on our minds. You can draw anything you want or simply sketch, but if you're here I suppose (and hope) you are interested in drawing whimsical faces out of your imagination! There's no better time to get started with your drawing practice, so go ahead and grab your supplies now!
In the times of crisis, art is a the bond that keeps us balanced and present. While you cannot go outside too much, you can definitely create new art pages. Depending on how much time you have in this imposed quarantine, you can even create more art than usually. I have grabbed my small B6 art journal and created a new collage spread, this time using a paper to cover the whole spread with collage.
