Description: The image shows an open journal resting on a black surface. The left page features two images: the top one depicts figures on an orange background with a central elongated oval shape, while the bottom one shows a circular, ornate design with a blue center, resembling a portal. Both images have faint pencil lines beneath them indicating captions or annotations. The right page contains handwritten notes in black ink titled “Sunday April 25, 2021 in STUDIO.” It includes questions about envisioning and drawing, followed by numbered sketches and annotations. Each of the numbered sections has a corresponding sketch, with brief notes about time and process written beside them. Several colorful tabs are visible protruding from the top and sides, labeled with various titles.
