An expressive journal is simply a notebook or sketchbook filled with drawings, poems, doodles and all sorts of other things that express your mood and feeling.

Steps

  1. Find the perfect book to write your expressive feelings in. It can be anything - a sketchpad or old notebook or even a few sheets of paper bundled together! Anything with lots of pages to draw and write in.
  2. What's your style? Do you like emo culture or girly stuff? Well, in your expressive journal you can write whatever you want. Like poetry? Write a heart-felt poem about your crush perhaps! Like anime? Sketch some of your favourite anime characters! The list is endless!
  3. Do a self portrait of yourself at the front. Draw yourself however you want. Maybe your parents won't let you have a tattoo you really want, why not draw yourself with it?!
  4. Practice drawing in your expressive journal. If you're feeling happy draw something that makes you happy. It's not only a lot of fun but it helps you draw better!
  5. Vent. Do you hate someone or something a lot? Maybe it's a bully? Why not draw the bully in an ugly way with a big cross over him or her. You'll feel a lot better.
  6. Add humor if you like to emphasize the subject. Perhaps draw a comic strip of something funny that happened that day.
