Art Journaling Time: Prismatic Cuties

These drawings came from a place that doesn’t need direction, outcomes, or improvement. The part that reaches for color because it feels good in the hand. The part that remembers when drawing was just a way to express.

The prismatic creatures started appearing without planning. Started with a zen sloth, two cute kitties I had painted in oil earlier in the week and silly jumping furit. After this, I decided I'm gonna fill up this journal with all sorts little beings.

This is what my inner child sounds like when I let her speak: Can we slow down? Can we use the pretty colors? Can we make something that feels human? Greens, purples, blues overlapping instead of competing. Just enough variation to experiment.

I wasn’t trying to “draw well". These drawings each are all done under 20 minutes. It's more of a test of discipline to get something down and expressed.

I let the rainbow pencils wander, trusting that softness knows where to go. If you’ve been craving a looser way back into creativity, one that feels playful, reassuring, and low-pressure—this is your invitation.

For these pages, I used my prismatic colored pencils, I’ll link them here along with some other fun art journaling supplies to play with if you’re curious.

Let this be a reminder: Your inner child doesn’t need perfect motivation. She needs safety. And maybe a few pretty colors. That opens up the gates to other great things.
