I have two sets of @Tombow brush markers. The firs I have two sets of @Tombow brush markers. The first is the Dual. It has a thin marker at one end and a juicy brush marker at the other. It is so fun to play with and probably my favorite when it comes to serious sketchnoting. ​​​​​​​​
The other set is the Tombow Fudenosuke. It's also brush, but smaller, thinner, and more portable. ‒​​​​​​​​

When you add color and simple drawings to your jou When you add color and simple drawings to your journal it engages more parts of your brain. That makes the ideas easier to process and the information more engaging. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Words + drawings + color = better processing on paper ‒​​​​​​​​

There is something about getting a gift that makes There is something about getting a gift that makes you feel seen and deeply understood. Like my friend who gave me a gift card to @starbucks this week so I could escape and create. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When I try to create at home I often wind up prioritizing other things. It seems there is always something that needs to be cleaned, cooked, fixed, or taken care of. (As if all of those things are more important than creating!) ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But if I pack up my journal and a few art supplies and escape to my local library or coffee shop, all I do is create. It’s the only thing there to do. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
My tools are laid out on the table. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I turn off notifications on my phone. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It’s just me and the journal. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
My lifeβ€”just like your lifeβ€”is full of demands. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Capturing a couple of hours of freedom restores my soul. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Having someone notice and help me prioritize that? Well, that’s the most special kind of friend. <3​​​​​​​​

My new practice is trying to capture people I see My new practice is trying to capture people I see in public places. True story, while I was drawing these two teens, I hadn't gotten very far when they came over to tell me how cool it was that I was drawing in a coffee shop. ​​​​​​​​
I didn't clue them in. ​​​​​​​​
