Demons: I am a creature of chaos and destruction, fire is left behind with my every step-
Angels: Hi
Demons:.... oh no
me: *is brushing teeth*
mouth: *randomly spits blood*
me, an aspiring vampire: hell yes
• Never fret about how much stationary you have. You dont need a vast collection of washi tapes, pens and stickers to create a brilliant journal. Your collection will build slowly. Besides, I find that the best of spreads are made from stray scraps and hand drawn pictures etc.
• Also, (and this applies to general artists too) expensive supplies do not automatically make you a better artist. You may want to explore and find your journalling feet first, or at least understand that expensive supplies won't instantly make your spreads incredible, and that the best works can be made from anything, recycled, handmade, cheap, expensive... it's the artist that makes it what it is.
• Hold on to things. Receipts, labels, tickets. Keep these things in a folder too so you always have a treasure trove of bits and bobs.
• In the same vein, keep things like wrapping paper and magazine cutouts. When you don't have access to a printer but feel the inspiration for a spread, you can always resort to these. Plus, they look lovely as borders and backgrounds for pages.
• Dont be afraid to stick things down and just see where it takes you. You dont always have to have an elaborate plan for each and every spread. As I say, the greatest spreads are often the ones thrown together quickly and experimentally.
• Dont be scared to use your supplies!!!! I had this problem before. Your craft supplies are made to be used, so don't be stingy with them. Rip things up, tape things down, go crazy! It's what artists do.
• If you aren't happy with certain pages in your journal, don't rip them out!! It shows creative progress, good spreads and not so good spreads. A journal that was perfect the whole way through would become monotonous, no? In other words, a slow, fast, up and down, loop-de-looping rollercoaster is far more thrilling than a single-speed straight-tracked rollercoaster, isn't it?
• Don't be afraid of changing styles. Again, this book is your own and can be a fun example of how you've grown as an artist. So if you begin with a minimalist, planner-type journal and then decide you prefer aesthetic, scrapbooking styles, no worries!! It's your journal, no one else's.
• Write whatever you want! Your idols, interests, friends and family, life, anything you wish!! This journal is yours and yours alone. Use it like a diary, use it as an open letter to your idols, use it to chronicle your art skills, or just have fun making nice-looking pages! Why not? As long as your having fun, there are no rules or boundaries to journalling, just as there are no rules or boundaries to creating art. Just have fun!!
My legs are weak and I dont know if it’s because of a lack of sleep or lack of sugar
