J for Just Do Your Best | ABC Motivation Art Journal Page


Click here for the YouTube video.

About this page:
After watching so many of Christy's videos and being so scared of drawing faces, I decided to take the plunge and try it out and see what will happen. When I started this page I didn’t have a word or sentence that I was going to use, I let the page show me :) SEeing that this was my own trial for drawing a face I thought to myself “what else can one do? Just do your best and leave the rest!” Because I use craft acrylic paint, which is a bit transparent when you layer it, I didnt’ use a background for the whole page. And because I like to doodle, I put the outlines of the doodles that I roughly planned in my  head. Doodles are not supposed to be planned as they flow on their own, but with acrylic paint, an initial plan is required. I liked the final result and will be using this background/doodling technique again. As for faces, I feel the need to practice more :) When was the last time you drew a smiling face? on your own reflection in the mirror? :)
