How I do diary comics. And why.
Journalling in the comics format encourages me to slow down, organise my thoughts and also helps me practice drawing and painting. Here's how I do it. I use a template to prompt me on what to record. Alternate prompts I might swap in are 1. What I saw recently 2. What thing that made me uncomfortable (and why) 3. Who I met recently 4. One thing that inspired me recently. 5. One item I used a lot recently. 6. One thing I want to change 7. One thing I learned recently (Invent your own) If you’d like to share your own diary comics with others here, feel free to post them in a link in the comments:) My blog: https://drewscape.blogspot.com/ My shop: https://www.drewscape.net/shop%20fron...
