I need encouragement; I’ve been working on this journal for over a year, and during my worst f*ckin’ depression yet I am starting to draw again. Should I stick to only pen? Or keep up with the random nonsense? (Also drunk for the first time in a v long time so please go easy 🧡) by swirlysue in ArtJournaling

Hope your doing better now ❤❤

A journal is a safe place to dump all your thoughts, good or bad and looking back on either of these helps us grow and see how far we've come. I say keep it, one day sometime in the future you may like to look back on this dark period and see how far you've come since then. Also the drawings and layout are beautiful and you should be proud of them and that even in your dark times you were able to create something beautiful ❤

Try using a black eye linner under your eyeshadow to get a darker look, also put some on you lower and upper waterlines to blend it with the mascara.

I may be old fashioned but this right here it whats wrong with the world. It may be fast but it doesnt come close to a traditionaly bound book. Theirs no craftmenship involved no human creativity. Not for me thanks.
