Journal Tip – Pre-draw shapes on your page

Make the blank page less daunting by pre-drawing shapes on the page.  This also enables you to draw quick sketches in the boxes enabling you to capture small details you might otherwise have missed.

 From the Journal of Gill McCowen

“This example was drawn on vacation in France in April 2007.  A particular feature of the French landscape in Spring are the pollarded trees.  The technique of pre-drawing boxes was an ideal way for me to capture this.

 From the Journal of Jane Humphrey

“I pre-draw my shapes ahead of time and then surprise myself in how I end up filling them.  It’s less daunting to draw in a ‘window’ than to be faced with a blank page.
