If you follow [community profile] journalsandplanners you have have most of half of these. Some of my attempts are custom layouts and some of my... what do you call a page that isn't your weekly lay out but is all your other stuff? Anyway, that.



My layout for next week is 852 Prospect themed (The loft from The Sentinel)



I was trying to figure out how to do a layout with beer bottles and baseball caps when I looked at some reference images I had and realized the loft's windows are a big rectangle divided into 6. I decided to not overthink whether the silhouette would work or if this would even read visually how I intend and just did it. I like the basic idea, so I can always do a more refined one another time. Better to iterate than over-plan.

This week is the HardStuck Guild Logo:



I like how the logo works in the center, but then didn't know what else to do so I just added coins and a treasure chest. Might re-do at a point.

Recent layout, cryptids:



Cute, creepy, interacts with layout without interfering with the layout. Has a Great Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. Is good.

Recent layout, ghosts:



Cute, creepy, very easy to do, interacts without without interfering with the layout. This is a great layout. Can do it quick while doing cute details and brushwork. Should do it again with more ghosties.

Steampunk layout:



I am going to take a few more stabs at it, but it's a lot of work to draw the gears.

This is a tool I made for my journal:



It's how I make my basic layout quick. It's got measuring lines on it. I made a holder for it so it lives in the back of my planner.

Inscryption doodle page across from a basic layout:



Doodle page:



I sometimes do doodle pages, sometimes it's notes or to-do lists, sometimes quotes.

Roswell, NM (the current show, not the old one) doodle page:



I made a little book as an insert:





It's got pages of writing advice... tho I haven't filled all the pages. I will go back and fill it and add more to the layout.

Making a tiny book was surprisingly easy and tuned out nice. But it's pretty thick for an insert. I might do one or two more, but that's all the book can take.

One thing I want to pick up is a black liner pen that is thick. Sometimes I want much bolder lines. I have a Copic .7, but I want like a 1 or 1.5 sized pen.

I love your layouts! The cryptid one is great, and I really love the ghosts! Especially the way they go "behind" the layout. I think the silhouette is really effective, too.

Makes me want to be more creative with my tracker. :) Though usually I come up completely blank as soon as I try to think of something to do, even just silly doodling, haha.

The insert booklet is really cool too!

I do like the doodle pages! Putting things together like that for a specific canon, or a particular character seems like a fun thing to do. And a good way to connect with the work or the character. It makes me want to try to teach myself to doodle again, haha.

Definitely! There are some characters or canons that I can definitely think of some doodle-able objects or symbols for... and some that I just wouldn't know where to start with.

Ahhhhh I love the measuring tool holder and the little book, especially with the idea of storing advice in it.

So neat! And how lovely to be reminded of The Sentinel again <3

That Neil Gaiman quote is one I also want to display somewhere, it is so good!

I really like the book insert idea!

When I want really thick lines I use Pigma Micron Graphic 1. It's 1.0 mm
