• My recommended digital and analog tools
• How I turn my week into an illustrated journal entry
• Planning different types of layouts, with LOTS of examples
• Basic drawing tips and advice
• Access to lots of examples for inspiration!

Bonus Material

Why Illoging?

• Has all the benefits of regular journaling: saving memories, reflecting on thoughts, chronicling life events
• Two Birds, One Stone: Simultaneouslyincorporate practice on lettering, graphic design, portrait and figure drawing, storytelling, infographics, whatever it is you want to work on. Efficiency!
