A friend introduced me to The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling by John Muir Laws. I read through it and instantly fell in love. What an excellent book! The practice of nature journaling combines recording observations and questions about natural phenomenom with sketching. It's been a very calming and fascinating practice that keeps me being creative while improving my observational skills. I've also been using it as a way to experiment with type in a playful way. Below are a few of my favourite drawings from my nature journal.
