Description This was really fun. Want to know what I did?

Well, it started as I wanted to go for a walk. I took a pen and a piece of paper with me, spilt some coffee over it and folded the piece. As I started walking, I waited till it was dry. I then saw the shape of what I thought was an eagle, and got this idea.
During the walk, I just drew everything I saw and didn't see. I rubbed grass and mud and smokey mushrooms over it, drew over the shapes and wrote words.
I am amazed at how many different things I finally saw. I had no idea that I could get so inspired by just taking a walk. I highly recommend everyone to do something like this. Don't worry about things looking to perfect. Just play around, try to capture what you see and feel. Doesn't matter how you do it, just try to create some memories on the paper.
Whenever I look at one of the small drawings now, a tiny movies starts playing in my head.

Over.

Somehow, I doubt that if I were to try doing something like this, it would look this good. Very, very charming.

I cant get enough of doodles and little sketch book works like this. Especially ones with so much charm.

I've done things like this before, but never managed anything so damned quirky and adorable! Goooooddddd I love your work. You're awesome! :3

that's an absolutely perfect idea. I'm always afraid of losing those little, tiny memories, and I try to write them down in a journal, but it' always boring. This is such a better idea! Thank you! (:
