What's an e-card? Well, I've had this idea for a while because I am shamefully bad at sending my family and friends birthday cards despite having dozens of handmade ones on hand. I am, however, very good at making sure to wish them a Happy Birthday on Facebook. So I though I could make a handmade card that I can share over and over again online while still share my art with them.
I often use my art journal to work out ideas for projects and this page was my "warm-up" for my project today.
What I learned by doing this was that I needed more of a focal point. As an artist, it's invaluable to use my art journal in this way. Honestly, I didn't want to show you this page because I didn't think it was good enough to put out there on cyber space for all to critique. But I thought it was important to show my process and how I work through ideas. Many people think that artists are born with talent, and a lucky few are. But most of us learn through trial and error, schooling, or a few classes here and there. How do you work out your artistic struggles and get inspired?
