Brie of Documented Journey

Brie grew up surrounded by art. Her mother had an art degree, and her father was an architect. Brie’s journals feature botanicals and nature. Her journals are chronological.

“Anything goes” when it comes to what she journals.

If you’re new to art journalling, Brie suggests asking yourself what you’d like to get from your journal. “All that matters is if you like it”.

“You can’t compare yourself to someone who’s been doing it all their life” (in reference to feeling unsure of ones self when it comes to art)

Art Supplies

Brie primarily uses watercolour. Favourite is Schminke, but Daniel Smith are easier to find in the US.

He prefers fude nib fountain pens particularly those by Sailor. The Sailor bamboo pen, Platinum Carbon Black ink, and DeAtramentis waterproof ink. Moleskine A4 sketchbooks for the smooth paper.

“Don’t aspire to be to be great, aspire to be prolific. Great will come over time”.

If you want some motivation to start drawing, or creating anything, listen to this very inspiring chat with artist AntonioMabs.

AntonioMabs is a freelance artist working in illustration, graphic design, character design, cartooning, and animation.

Most work is created digitally, using a Cintiq tablet. Adobe Photoshop and Flash. Cricut machine for creating stickers.

Art supplies: When sketching he uses a Bic pen or No. 2 pencil, on copy paper. Carries with him a small sketchbook that he’s made himself- available for sale on his website.

Some takeaways:
“Start by putting your ideas down”

“Fail fast. Fail often. Every drawing gets you closer to finding your style”

“Get comfortable with failing. Understand it’s part of the process”

“Try to experiment within the fields of your medium” This allows you to understand it more, even if you don’t necessarily end up doing that work.

“Every day you give to your art, you’ve added energy to it and it grows”
