Keeping a journal is a way to take time for yourself, and illustrating one is a huge part of it. It's a therapeutic practice of unleashing creativity. Annie Weir, the artist behind A Journal by Annie, specializes in combining art, lettering, and clean layout to create illustrated spaces that house thoughts, reflections, and memories. She has turned journal artwork into a full-time business, and has collaborated with various brands and publications including Rescue Remedy, My Life Handmade, and Simply Lettering Magazine.
In this course, she teaches you how to add beautiful, botanical illustrations and words to the pages of your bullet journal. Learn various techniques and concepts for lettering, drawing, painting, and adding color. Explore a daily outlet for both your thoughts and your creativity.
This is Annie's second course with Domestika. In her first, Introduction to Illustrated Bullet Journaling, she guides you through the various components of a bullet journal, and the techniques to help organize your present life, remember your past, and plan for your future.

Reviews
A course by A Journal by Annie
Annie Weir - the artist behind A Journal by Annie - specializes in bullet journaling. She studied graphic design at university in her home country of Scotland, but Annie never went on to work in graphic design roles and instead chose to pursue her love of painting and traditional illustration. In 2017 she discovered bullet journaling by chance on Instagram, and fell in love with the activity. So much so that in 2018 Annie started her first ‘proper’ bullet journal and created her Instagram account @ajournalbyannie to share her journaling online.
It wasn’t long before brands and potential clients began noticing her work and she was able to turn A Journal by Annie into a business. She has collaborated with various brands and publications including Rescue Remedy, My Life Handmade, Gaston Luga, and Simply Lettering Magazine. As well as this Annie also sells her artwork and products online.
