August Art Journal Pages

Here are some art journal pages that I've created over the past few months. Most of my pages right now are more like paper craft, but I would love to do pages covered with sketches more regularly.

Before I go too far I want to take a moment to acknowledge the post "Drive by Art Journaling" on ClothPaperScissors.com by Cate Prato. This post really helped me to find a way to make time to create journal pages. So bit by bit during the week I work on a page until I feel like I'm done. 

This page is just pure random. Whatever I felt like. Covered up a sketch that I was unhappy with, haha. That's what you can do with an art journal. Make a mistake? Just cover it with something else.

 This is a neat to-do list I made by sketching items that were laying around on my desk.

Since I'm a comic artist, I have to practice drawing objects as well as people. This is a fan that was in my bedroom.

Sometimes my pages are just pure writing. This is one of them. I scanned a page from an old issue of Shoujo Beat, and then just wrote what I wanted all over the copy. Can you guess which manga this page comes from?


I hoping in the future I can do more sophisticated layouts, but I'm still in the learning stages. I can't wait until the day when I can look back and see how my journaling style has changed.
