Simonerodrigue, I love your autumn tree and pumpkin drawings! The former is just beautiful and the latter funny and sweet.

 

I have to say I admire all of you for your courage to post something so personal as a journal page. Although if I posted one, it'd be in a language only maybe 10 people here would understand...

[saskia_madding]

Thanks! I just started sketching in my journal in the last month, and for ever good drawing there are about ten hideous ones.

 

The language issue might actually be a good reason *to* post some pictures, since not many people will be able to decipher the text itself.

I know, it's the same with me. But I try to bear in mind that drawing should be fun, not an accomplishment...

 

I actually meant that it shouldn't feel too personal to me to post a page of my journal, since only a dozen here would understand the text (but that dozen is screaming "I can read that! I can read that!" in my head). But it's true it'd be good to distract people's attention from the text to the whole.

Simonerodrigue, what is that orange ink in the pumpkin drawing?

[saskia_madding]

In terms of privacy, try doing what I do and censoring which page you post to ensure that it is pretty innocuous without context.

 

It is Noodler's Habanero - an excellent ink for sketching.

Edgar Allan Bo -- Can you tell us what that beautiful red journal is and where we can get one?? Wonderful handwriting too.

I'm quite impressed! I really like your handwriting. Kinda reminds me of my dad's Like the pen too. I don't know why that would me a less commonly liked design, I think it looks great!

[photoRONIN]

Wow that is amazing!!!

 

Great idea for a thread! It's nice to see what goes into other journals, and how. I fell out of the habit of journaling at the beginning of Summer, so I transcribed a poem to get back into it.

Some really nice and interesting images and samples. I will have to add to this post! Thank you all for sharing.

Here are a few pics of my journal. I wrote these on the subway, so my writing normally doesn't look exactly like that; when writing at a desk it tends to be more uniform and smaller, but the lurching of the subway on the way to work really changes the way I write.

What color is that purple-ish ink? Noodler's Cactus Fruit Eel?

[saskia_madding]

It's actually Saguaro Wine, which I think is the same colour as Cactus Fruit but without the super lubricating properties. I find Saguaro Wine to be easily lubricating enough.

Ahhh yes you are right they are the same color except for the lubricating. I haven't tried Saguaro Wine, but I do have some Cactus Fruit Eel and I love the color!

Hi Joel... I'm just curious: what's the pen/nib combo you used here? I love the line variation in your text.

 

Wonderful entries everyone! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome topic. I'll look to see if I can contribute a scan. I hope more folks contribute too.

[wisteriax]

I love this topic!

 

Most of my journals are more 'visual' than written but here's a recent one that incorporates some fp scrawling.

Fantastic, fun stuff! :notworthy1:

The nearest thing I have to a journal are my daily work notebooks - middle of the stack, Moleskine reporter (no trouble with the paper for me) - and the rest is all ephemeral; scraps of paper / odd notebooks. None but the work stuff survives very long. I don't even keep a diary. I wouldn't know what to put in a journal, and don't tend to have the time to copy things into it from other sources. One day maybe. I think for me a scarp book with odd things saved and pasted in could be the way, but it hasn't happened yet. Loved seeing others' stuff!
