Скачать или смотреть January Graphic Journal Tour ✨ Flip-Through + Art Supplies and a Lesbian History Side Quest

My January Graphic Journal Tour (2025 Challenge)

I’m committing to creating 1 Graphic Journal per month for the whole of 2025, and this is the first tour of the year! In this 47-minute video, I take you page by page through my January journal, sharing the stories, memories, and drawing techniques behind each sketch.

What’s inside?
• The art supplies I used (including a multicolor pencil and a blue marker—details below!)
• A watercolor effect I experimented with by embracing “mistakes” to create beautiful textures
• A special side quest into lesbian history—inspired by a drawing I made of the poetess Sappho at the Capitoline Museums in Rome, reflecting on her cultural and poetic legacy

I’ll be posting a new Graphic Journal tour every month, so if you’re into sketchbooks, creative journaling, and personal storytelling, subscribe and join me on this journey!

Want to join the challenge?
Commit to one Graphic Journal a month with me, and let’s grow our creative practices together.
