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.

{ Art on Tape #1 }

Wanna share some of the most beautiful masking tapes I've ever seen! These are designed and illustrated by a group of talented artists. So decided to call these "Art on Tape". Enjoy :D P.S. I made up the names for these tapes since they don't have English titles.

Magician's Laboratory. - I love the blue tone of this tape. Feather + Stars + Notebooks = Magic!

Sakura in Nara. - I love Nara and always associate sakura + deer with Nara. (My obsession with Japan...?!)

Vintage Steampunk. - Love the vintage feel of this.

I will post more photos of my washi / masking tape collection here. (and very soon too! Since I got a few more recently :D) Take Care!

{ Doodle Fun :D }

All you need is a pen and a pack of memo. (Or if you have a pack of plastic-memo-thingy, use an oil based marker.)Then you can draw/doodle/sketch anything you desire. It is completely unique and super fun!!

Haven't done a freebie in a while, so I made a 2015 Year of Goat postcard for download. Click [Here] for download. Non commercial use only! Enjoy :D Letter size. Set margin as "0" and do not resize. Cut along the white corners.

{ What my January 2015 looks like so far }

Happy New Year Everyone! Hows your new year? Any 2015 goals? What my January looks like so far. I usually do the sketches at night, then when I have time, I will do the watercolor. I'm using a Midori 012 sketchbook in my Meowdori for this. It is like a monthly visual journal + idea book + monthly headlines + sketch pad. Will do a setup of this later on.

Material used: masking tape + Midori Traveler's Notebook HK Tram edition Stickers + Holebin watercolor + Zig Pen.
