The first one is in my doodle book...
The second one is in my watercolor sketch book - this one is for the sketchbook challenge...
I'm really happy with how each of them turned out. I'm amazed at what you can do with just a few minutes here and there. It adds up over a week's time!
Here's how the process went over the course of a week:
Friday, January 31:
I pasted the elephant illustration in my doodle book and started doodling around him during phone calls...
later in the day I started coloring with my markers...
Saturday, January 1st:
The sketchbook challenge started (click here to check it out). The theme for January is "Highly Prized." I had this photo of Willie that I love, so I decided to try to sketch it. It felt a little intimidating because I haven't sketched in years....
I told myself - just ten minutes, and don't stress about it. I was happy with how it started out (and glad I had chosen a very small book to sketch in)...
more doodling...
Sunday, January 2:
I added some white highlights with my sharpie, and decided drawing is fun again!
Later I started pasting background tidbits willy nilly into my Nancy Drew Journal...
More coloring doodles...
Tuesday, January 4:
Finished my first doodle page!
Wednesday, January 5:
Added some cool greys and finished my first sketchbook challenge page!
This 10 minutes at a time approach to art journaling is so much fun! How about you? Are you doing the sketchbook challenge and/or the Art Journaling Every Day (AJED) challenge? How's it going?
I'm looking forward to checking out Julie's update on AJED tomorrow!
Tomorrow I will be back to share some photos of a beautiful paper line designed by a friend - I just received it and can't wait to start playing!
Thanks for visiting and have an awesome day!
