What inspires you to create? I’ve tried starting an art journal before but i never get into the grove of it😕also your art is so gorgeous 💞

Honestly I just kind of create pages whenever I feel like it or have time. If you look at my posts they’re extremely inconsistent and lately I’ve gone months at a time without doing any art, and that’s okay. You shouldn’t feel like you’re forcing yourself to do it - so what if you don’t work in your art journal daily, weekly, or even monthly? Just do it for yourself to enjoy it! I guess you could maybe try to set some time aside to do it in a more scheduled manner but that isn’t always possible. Remind yourself that pages don’t have to be perfect and you can work on them without completing them in one sitting. Good luck, sorry I can’t offer much help because I have the same issue haha. And thank you so much!
