Weekly Art Journal ~ Apr 20 - 26, 2015

My attempt to do some sort of Steampunk theme drawings. Plus I learnt how to paint gold with watercolor.

I finally got my Noodler's Ahab fountain pen! (The actual pen in the first photo and the drawing I did of it at the second last photo.) Going to do a comparison of it with my other pens later on. Then I also got a mini black leather(?) planner, very poor quality so had to use masking tape to "seal off" the edge of the inside pockets since the leather is falling off! :( I'm not going to use my Midori Tramsway Hong Kong Edition since I have other plan for it. + I need a small, fit-in-my-pocket type planner + it is all I can afford. So I will stick with it and make the best of it. Will post photos of it too later on.

Weekly Art Journal ~ April 13 - 19, 2015

I made a Midori size sketchbook for my Meowdori, I named my leather notebook "Meowdori" since I love cats! I usually mark down the dates at the beginning with my weekly goals. Then I will start on the art journal entry. Usually I draw dishes, snacks that I ate + things that I find interesting. (Like books I'm reading, washi tapes and pens I got recently.)

I enjoy doing a weekly page more since I can see my entire week on 1 page spread and I get to treat my journal entries as a layout exercise. Experiment on how to arrange different elements on a page to create more pleasing layouts. It is like learning and playing at the same time!

Material I used: Tachikawa School G Pen + Van Gogh watercolor pocket box. Paper is just plain paper, not really suitable for watercolor.
