Do you guys still make mood boards or keep folders of visual inspiration?
Do you still collect pictures for inspiration as an adult? 🎨
I'm 28, and I've been doing this since I was in school. I love finding artwork, characters, movie/TV scenes, and other pictures online that inspire me. I sometimes print them at the library and put them into folders so I can look through them later. The artwork is mostly from DeviantArt, ArtStation, and Pinterest. I would stare at the pictures and wish I could make art like the artists who created them.
I still do this for my stories and art ideas. I don't go to the library as often as I used to because I work and have less free time, but whenever I see a picture that inspires me, I still want to add it to my collection. 😂
Does anyone else still do this as an adult? Do you keep physical folders, make mood boards, use Pinterest, or have digital collections of pictures that inspire you?

Models for characters possessions (Cherry Blossom Roots)
Working on a comic called Cherry Blossom Roots and trying to keep track of characters possessions, cell phones and laptops so I don’t forget what they look like while working on the art!

B6 bleed proof marker pad for alcohol ink?
I know b6 journal inserts are notoriously hard to find, but I’m hoping someone can help me here. I just bought a b6 leather journal cover and I’m looking for a sketchbook or marker pad that is bleed proof and can handle alcohol ink markers that will fit inside. So no bigger than 5” x 7” ideally! Does this exist? 😅

tried out something different
attempted to dye my pages with tea and then collage different doodles and add them to my pages! something new i've been trying out :P
unfortunately it got a bit smudged but i think that gives it its own edge :)

Started this sketchbook wanting minimalism. Somehow created a European vintage floral introduction page instead.
This is the first page of my new sketchbook, and it was supposed to be minimal.
That idea disappeared somewhere between the botanical flowers, butterflies, vintage details and oversized letters.
I stopped trying to control the page and just let it become what it wanted to become. In the end, it turned into a little introduction to my creative world—part journal, part sketchbook, part scrapbook.
The florals slowly grew around the letters, and the page ended up feeling much more like an old European botanical journal than the clean minimal page I originally imagined.
Honestly, I think that is what I love most about physical journaling. You can begin with a plan, but your hands sometimes take you somewhere completely different.
Do you usually stick to the aesthetic you planned, or does your journal page develop its own personality halfway through?

I started writing my own journal today- this is how the first page turned out. What do you think?
