Linking up to the wonderful Friday Face Off hosted by the talented and wonderful Nicole & Art for Fun Friday hosted by the wonderful Gillena and for Art Journal Journey, hosted by Elizabeth, Erika and Mia.
This week I was at my desk doodling and sketching.
I tried to stay off my phone as much as possible.
Self portrait practice
I am using the reflection in my window to draw the self portraits.

DeleteI'm always so jealous of those who can draw, your art is beautiful! I love the junk journaling too! I got into it a few years back but never got far with it. Maybe if I join a challenge or something I can do it. I want to junk journal scrapbook (Like a full scrapbook) but I feel like I wouldn't stick with it.
