A Cloudy Day

March 2, 2018

I love it after it rains. The clouds get fluffy and the sky looks like a painting. The parts of the sky not covered in cloud patches show off the most refreshing blue color and it makes me wish I was bird.

Finally finished with Frog and Toad! 😄 This was Finally finished with Frog and Toad! 😄 This was a such a challenge because of all the different shades of green I had to make. But it was great practice in mixing colors. 

I've also found that colored pencil on top of gouache+watercolors turns out a bit streaky. It didn't seem to blend as well compared to just watercolors underneath. I will have to test this theory out again.

HEY! DID YOU FIND CURIOUS GEORGE? 🐒 He's just as surprised as I am that January is already over!

My favorite Parisian girl is Madeline! I read her My favorite Parisian girl is Madeline! I read her books and watched her shows - with a wish that I'll someday get to visit Paris irl. 🇨🇵

Drawing the "12 little girls in two straight lines" was a little hard. So. Many. Hats. 😳 There was a lot of erasing just to get the proportions right because I had to make sure the Eiffel Tower would fit too!

The artist (Ludwig Bemelmans) maybe used chalk or oil pastels in the original because of how loose the drawings felt and how thick some of the colors were. I debated coloring the whole spread green and doing all the shadows too. But I decided to selectively shade the Eiffel Tower and the ground where they walked on, in order to keep the page clean for writing - while still keeping some of the color scheme of the book. 😃

P.S. Did you find Curious George jumping in to visit Paris? 🐒

"Once there was a tree... And the tree was happy." "Once there was a tree... And the tree was happy." The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein is no doubt in every single Kindergarten classroom, all over the world. A classic tale of unconditional love, it's one of my favorites. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend that you do. ❤

In keeping with the style of the book, I'll not be coloring this spread. Shel's style was so fun to draw!

(I can't find Mr. Shel Silverstein's official IG account, so I couldn't tag him. If you know it, pls let me know in the comments. Thanks!)

P.S. DID YOU FIND CURIOUS GEORGE! Remember he'll be accompanying me all throughout this year's adventures!

"Believe me my young friend, there is NOTHING - ab "Believe me my young friend, there is NOTHING - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." ~ Kenneth Grahame, Wind in the Willows

I miss my younger days when I would go fishing in the lake with my dad. He's a bit old now and probably can't handle the launching and managing of the boat, but my bro and I are older now too and we could probably do all those things our dad used to take care of. It's just that we haven't had the opportunity to go back...

This year, I want to take my dad to the lake. I really wish covid won't keep that from happening...

Paddington Bear, our favorite bear from Darkest Pe Paddington Bear, our favorite bear from Darkest Peru, is here for the January calendar. Never far from his beloved Orange Marmalade sandwich, his adventures has delighted many generations past. I opted to draw the more updated version of PB because I think it's the cutest one.

Besides reading Paddington's books, I also watched his animated cartoon show. Did you ever watch his show? Also, have you seen his recent movies? They are both family favorites around here.

Btw, #whereiscuriousgeorge ? I don't think George has ever tried a marmalade sandwich, actually. But I bet he would love it!

I finally jumped into my new journal for the year! I finally jumped into my new journal for the year! 🎉 I'm trying the Archer & Olive A5 notebook this time around. I was hesitant to start drawing on it (in the same way I'm hesitant to use something new) so I decided to make a grid spacing guide - which requires less drawing. I can't believe I've never made one of these guides! 🤷‍♀️ I think it'll be quite useful.

Do you use a grid spacing guide? If you don't, now's a good time as any to try it.

Here's the last 6 months of 2020. As the previous Here's the last 6 months of 2020. As the previous half, these too have unfilled pages. 🤷‍♀️ Although a lot happened last year, 2020 really wasn't a writing year for me...

And there are 3 reasons why I haven't posted any 2021 content yet...

1. I can't decide on a theme
2. I'm slightly unmotivated to do anything artistic at the moment
3. I'm reluctant to start in a new journal!

Have you bravely started off your new year's journaling? Or are ya stuck in a rut like me? 😔

I'm trying though...

The first 6 months of 2020 were fun. Revisiting ch The first 6 months of 2020 were fun. Revisiting childhood cartoon faves made me smile. Uh...for some reason though, I didn't make an April cover, so I've used a "Goodbye March" in April's place instead. 🤷‍♀️

NGL, most of the pages in those months are unfilled. It was really hard to find time to sit and write last year. I'm thinking of actually just going back and filling in the pages now. Maybe I could use pics on my phone or events written on my calendar to jog my memories and write stuff that happened back then...

Do you like letting pages stay blank? Or do you also go back and fill them in somehow?
