I have been doing alot of experimenting with my own doodling and drawing skills in journals lately. Of course I can't say enough about the MOLESKINE journal! Others just don't cut it! No imitations please!
The first photo is of work I've done in a journal dedicated to doodling. Good ol' fashioned doodles! I would sometimes add stickers and such. But mostly doodles and writing. Then color in with markers.
Next are the sketches I'm doing in a class of whimsical faces! I really don't like drawing faces...so this is a challenge for me! It does take lots of practice! But I'm getting better!
Next is a journal that is for "practice" stamping. Sometimes I just need to stamp my beloved stamps. Then I color in....and add whatever text or doodling.
And lastly, is a journal that I write in response to a book that I'm reading. This prompt asked that you write a letter to your heart. It was quite interesting how this turned out. I really like it! If you can't read the text, see below.
Dear Heart,
How do you consume me? How do you keep working? Do I give you faith to believe? Does my spirit keep you healthy? I think of you often. I try to teach you well. I thank you for repairing the heartbreaks you've felt throughout the years. I've tried to be strong for you. I believe that my heart (you) still has space for all-consuming-passionate love. I know you are waiting. Please stay strong. I promise to feed you soon.
Rosie
Yay, you posted your homework! I have a molskine (sp) lined journal. I thought about drawing in it, but the pages are hella thin. Do you paste pages together? How do you keep it from bleeding through?
