Love this, it prompts the narrative illustration in a very natural way. I used to illustrate my days in a similar way when I was a student and wrote letters to my friends in different countries (in the 1990s, before email 😊). I would even draw something funny from my day (as a sleep deprived architecture student) on those “air mail” envelopes… When I moved to email those little illustrations slowly stopped. I realise now how free, spontaneous and unburdened with expectations they were. My illustrations are more static now, mostly of places and movements of people. I somehow lost the way to illustrate various life situations, feelings and states of mind, without overthinking. This gives me a way back into it. Thank you for a great idea on how to incorporate the narrative illustration into daily life in a very simple way!
Adam, this is such a good idea! I have been keeping a daily written journal AND a gratitude journal AND doing daily art challenges … and crumbling under the weight of it all.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful combo of everything in one.
The idea of answering four simple questions with words and pictures each morning feels like building a scrapbook of ordinary days. I love that a reader described it as "having a treat every morning" because that captures it perfectly.
Thank you for sharing this so generously 🙏 What a fantastic way to journal!
My pleasure!
