thoughts and scribbles
mini thoughts
- When I think about my healing journey after the car accident, everyone's main objective (chiropractors, massage therapists) was to get me back to work.
- It's only been a week or so off socials (Tumblr, Bluesky), and I really miss being a part of an "art" space. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know what the healthy middle looks like for me.
- I love learning about environmental/sensory psychology. How our physical space affects our mood and well-being. The connection between environment and emotion is fascinating. Perhaps this is why I always buy myself flowers for my apartment.
pocket notebook scribbles
I've been using the Tombow brush pens for over a year, and a lot of them are finally running out of ink. I'm going to replace my favs, but I've also been looking at trying out some new kinds of markers, like the Steadler double-ended fibre-tip pens.
basic color theory tip I learned today:
Make one color the opposite of the color you put down.
- warm - cool
- dull - bright
- light - dark
Color is hard for me, which is why I generally resort to using a black pen, but I'm slowly learning to just have fun with it and see what happens when I play on the page. I'm also trying to pay attention to colors I see throughout my day and analyze what I like about them. Fun :D
