A variation of the diary

  I like keeping things fresh. So here is a slightly different variation I've tried out for myself. I used slightly different prompts. (It's fun to invent new ones along the way.) Here is what I used: 1. One thing I noticed. 2. I thing I started liking. 3. One thing I've been working on. 4. One thing I do almost every day. 5. One thing I want to learn. 6. One conversation I had. In this one, I've done it very loosely. (And slightly messy. As I was mainly concerning about recording my thoughts and not so much trying to make it look polished enough to show the world. I don't show all my personal diaries, especially if they are too personal.) This time, I drew it with a pen but coloured it digitally. To match the extreme casual looseness of the lines, I made the flat digital colouring equally loose. I used a mouse so I'd have less control, and I just lasso and filled up areas I wanted to colour. In my mind, I treated the colouring as cutting and pasting transparent
