One of the things that I think people struggle with when they art journal is the idea that every page should be pretty or good.<\/p>\n
I think if I put pressure on myself to make every page good, I would quit art journaling. That is so not what it's about to me.<\/p>\n
I know that people art journal for a myriad of reasons. I art journal for play, expression<\/strong>, and practice. Every now and then, good art happens. But plenty of times it doesn't. And I simply don't care. I embrace it, I learn. That's how I become a better artist. I learn.<\/p>\n The more art you make, the better you get. The more you express, the better you feel. Learn to love the whole process, the mistakes and the triumphs.<\/p>\n In the pages below, I was practicing my drawing. The drawings on the left weren't working, I was screwing it up (take a close look at the nose). Instead of overworking it, I just learned my lesson from my mistakes and tried again on the right side. Much better.<\/p>\n
