Some recent words and doodles in my art journal. Words (first pages): This Sacred Space That Speaks...I found myself looking in a mirror & seeing something very clearly: my rhythm, my he(art), moving soundly, swiftly; running repeatedly & speaking in the same tongue that says: I am here, Lord; I am here as I am... and a bit of Donny Hathaway, "A Song For You": /You taught me precious secrets of a true love/withholding nothing.../ And another lyric, "...maybe I'm looking for something I can't have..." - "Say Something" by @justintimberlake and @chrisstapleton that also inspired this post...just realizing that I'm in search of myself, digging for myself and there's no "thing" that will fill that void, that yearning that I have. #artbyshantadevi #artjournal #art #artjournaling #artthoughts #words #artlikemusic #inspired #doodles #penandpaper #pen #blackgirlswhoartjournal #drawnfromimagination #poses #sketched #sketchbook #blackartist #sacredspace #maybeimlookingforsomethingicanthave #saysomething #donnyhathaway #asongforyou #thirdeye #moleskine #asiam #artisfreedom #artforthought

Experimenting with Tombow markers (activated with paintbrush and water), watercolor paint, and Derwent Inktense pencil. Doodling and playing with color in my art journal. Lyrics at top-left read: "...nobody can give you the power / to rise / over love / over hate / through this iron sky that's fast becoming / our mind / over fear and into freedom..." - "Iron Sky," Mo Jamil. #artbyshantadevi #art #blackartist #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlswhopaint #artjournal #artjournaling #artjournaleveryday #paint @tombowusa @derwentpencils #ironsky #lyrics #artlikemusic #sketchbook #moleskine #doodle #face #colorful #thirdeye #tombowdualbrushpens #artisfreedom @moleskine_arts

Finishing up an art journal. Last few pages prepped with scribbles, and then layered with doodles and washi tape. Eliminates any pressure of a blank page, and makes for an interesting beginning to a composition. Listening to, and inspired by: Yanni's "The Rain Must Fall" and Ignatious Carmouche's cover of "Latch" (from The Voice). #artbyshantadevi #artjournal #artjournaling #artjournaleveryday #blackgirlswhoartjournal #blackgirlswhodraw #blackgirlswhodoodle #blackgirlswhomakeart #blackartist #blackgirlmagic #travelersnotebook #penandpaper #doodle #face #thirdeye #artlikemusic #artastherapy #artoutloud #artisfreedom #art #artistsoninstagram #blackartistsoninstagram #blackartistsmatter #sketchbook #drawing #adrawingaday #femaleartist #artispower

Face doodles in my art journal, drawn while at Starbucks. There’s something about the energy of being out of my comfort zone and drawing in public that makes for a different drawing experience for me, and I love the change in my environment, wherever that may be. #artbyshantadevi #artjournal #artjournaling #faces #doodles #thirdeye #drawing #artjournaleveryday #artist #art #pen #sketch #sketchbook #travelersnotebook #blackartist #femaleartist #artistsoninstagram #thirdeye #artastherapy #artpractice #drawoutloud #artlikemusic #drawforpeace #oodlesofdoodles #practice #starbucksdoodles #drawninpublic #artoutside @starbucks
