 Hey guys, so here I am with the prompt first prompt in our my life of self-expression 2017 or shortened to my life 2017 Our journaling program and the prompt of this month to start off the year We're actually starting in December and the prompt to start off the year is a new step forward So I want you to think about that prompt and how you can not only get your Journal ready for the year so that you're all ready to go and to start collecting your bits and pieces and documenting your life or doctor Documenting your art journey or your inspiration journey whatever way you want to take it And how you can incorporate the prompt into that In my case I wanted to do some sort of a modified vision board sort of a thing But I really resisted the idea of going through like a million magazines to clip out little pictures That would represent what I wanted to accomplish this year or creating what we would call a resolution list There's just something about that word. It's kind of negative for me. I don't know But I was in the grocery store not long ago and I saw this greeting card that had this little girl character on it That was really cute. So I created my version of her and in and amongst the drawing I put inspiration words or Words that represent things that I want to accomplish in the new year I gave her different little symbols in the drawing I'm going to give a full tutorial on how to draw her in my group life of art and self-expression for the rest of you you're watching this video and You're going to be able to also see what the owners of your group are doing and on And you know, I encourage you to go visit all the all the different groups and see the different videos Everybody's going to have a different take on it and that's the fun thing about this for me over my group I'm going to do a full tutorial on how to draw her. We're going to use a dip pen and some water and see some Water soluble gel crayons to draw her. She's pretty cute and we're going to tip her in And tape her in so do something like that You could of course do her right on your page if you wanted to or whatever Version maybe you want to just do a list and you don't want to do a drawing. That's totally doable. You could just do a list Plain old-fashioned resolutions list. Maybe it doesn't have the same connotations to you. It does to me That's totally doable. You could do that You could maybe just do a traditional one where you've cut and paste a bunch of images I chose to do something more a little more creative with it and I thought she turned out pretty cute So there you have it Hope you join me over in my group and you want to see how to draw her and you have fun with this I'd love to see what you do and if you film What you do in your journal for this first prompt, please let us know and share the link in all of the groups tag us in Your post that would be great so that we can see it and don't forget the most important thing Go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later
