This got me thinking, I've always used my art journals for collages, poetry, quotes, painting; as well as drawing and sketching. Since drawing and sketching are forms of art, I never thought to have a dedicated sketchbook. I sketch in my art journal, because I love art in all forms and want to showcase that in my journals. So I guess I keep an art journal sketchbook. ^_^ I had no idea that other people didn't do this.
This is a spread from my Art Journal/Sketchbook. Close ups below, along with blurbs about each page.
The Mandala you may have seen in this earlier post, but I added the bubbly quote. It reads, "Happiness depends upon the Quality of your Thoughts".
The opposing page was painted with craft paint (in green, orange, and turquoise), using a card. It features some song lyrics by Cat Stevens, and a few simple drawings/doodles with charcoal pencils. The purple and white dots were made by dipping my finger into the paint and lightly pressing onto the page.
A few pages on from there, you will find a sketch by me. Showcased here. I've since added to the page with words/quotes and doodles.
Whatever you want to call it; sketchbook, art journal, art journal sketchbook. Doesn't matter to me, it's all art. So no matter what form of art I choose to do, I will do it in my art journal. ^_^
Until next time, Embrace your Creativity.
