I'm really bad about sticking with the same journal for the whole year, I get a lot of FOMO. So in April I had decided to swap from my A5 hobonichi cousin to an A6 Techo. Then this week I decided to swap back. Now I'm using the A6 for daily art prompts so it still gets used, today was: Lemon. This is acrylic markers on Tomoe River paper.
Today's drawing prompt was 'Slippery' this is acrylic markers in a hobonichi A6 techo ^^ Yay for practicing.
3/365 Today's prompt was 'Free draw Friday' so I just went with some very basic flowers.
Also, learning how crap the Ohuhu stuff actually is vs. real art supplies. Don't fall into social media promotional pitfalls like me. The Ohuhu acrylic markers barely layer, but the Posca is *flawless*

4/365 - Today's prompt was 'Bellyflop'
I'm taking these prompts from r/sketchdaily which you can find here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SketchDaily/
This is (once again) acrylic marker in my old hobonichi A6
5/365 - Today's prompt was 'Sponge'
I just decided to go with the basics.

6/365 - Prompt for today was 'Street cleaner' I was not feeling particularly inspired, so I decided to draw it without looking at the page at all. I think it worked out OK!
7/365 Prompt was 'shiny floors' and I decided not to take it literally... I think...
9/365 Prompt today was "dusty treasures" - just simple acrylic marker.
Slowly filling in my old A6 hobonichi with daily drawings for practice, not caring whether they are good, but just making them exist.

Sometimes, whatever it is I'm trying to do with my art just doesn't work out.
And that's OK!
11/365 - The prompt today was "What's that growing in the pantry" - my thought was some sort of mould creature hidden amongst the preserved jars...
12/365 - Prompt was (once again) Free draw Friday ^^
Acrylic marker in my #hobonichi journal
Forgot to post this yesterday, but the prompt was "Saturday Morning Cartoons" - which don't really exist any more in the scope that i remember them, hence the 'out of service' tv screen overtop of the cartoon image...
13/365 - acrylic marker (making intentional time for art, it doesn't have to be good, it just has to exist)
14/365 Prompt was "The House you Grew up in"
I honestly didn't know what I wanted to do with this one. My child hood was many houses, fragmented, never anywhere long. So... that's what I tried to show.

15/365 - Prompt was 'Treehouse' (I'm taking my prompts from r/Sketchdaily)
Acrylic marker + ink
Remember, the key here is making it exist, NOT making it perfect. This is about mindful time spent creating and not being hung up on the details. ^^
16/365 The prompt was supposed to be bonfire but I wasn't feeling that, so I made a grave of flowers, instead.
Acrylic marker
17/365 Prompt was ... fish fingers... er.. but I was not feeling inspired by that, at all, so I did loneliness.

19/365 - Prompt was free draw Friday (as usual) and I went with a sunset silhouette.

21/365 Prompt was "Obscure Fanart"
Done!
(Remember, the point is to make it exist, not to stress about making it good. Good can come later).
