Want to switch from writing your journal to illustrating it? In this post, I walk through my simple three-step process—pencil sketch, ink, and add color—so you can turn everyday moments into visual stories. I’m also sharing favorite journal pages from recent adventures and a free supplies & layout guide to help you get started.

My recommendations for art supply shops and creative inspiration from my recent trip to Japan, plus travel sketching spots not to miss. Includes: Tokyo, Kyoto, Ise-Shima, and Osaka.
