I've been a little stuck with art journalling prompts. Most of the canned online lists are just not good.

One of my favorites I've done within the past little while though was picking a song and making it a physical character and writing one thing they did in a day. 

Anyone got some good prompts?

What kind of things are you journaling about? Character design at least based on your description. I can only really think of things really similar to what you would get from some online prompts.

Like making three lists of attributes (with 10 or so items on each list) and then picking/randomizing from each one and combaning it in a character. Say, list one was a creature type (1. elemental creature i. e. plant person, rock person 2. angel/devil 3. mythological creature/deity 4. animal inspired person 5. robot/cyborg/android 6. alien 7. modern regular human 8. historical regular human 9. humanified monster 10. ghost/spirit/spectral creature) another was an action to do (1. sleeping 2. eating 3. conversing/arguing/asking 4. fighting/battling 5. reading/watcing TV 6. cleaning 7. driving a car/spaceship/boat 8. running/walking 9. trying on clothes/dressing/undressing 10. climbing a wall/cliff/rope) and a third was an attitude (1. happy 2. distracted/dreamy 3. begrudging 4. annoyed 5. angry 6. sad/distraught 7. bored 8. disgusted 9. interested/keen 10. neutral/spaced out).
You could also substitute one list for something like "color schemes", "bodytypes", "professions" or "artstyles".

Or you could draw something from the real life, like a flower, or a tree, or chair, and then a character you can imagine interrasting with it. Or you could do fanart + fanfiction about something you like to read or watch. Might be a nice change or pace?

Honestly those are some great ideas. Mostly I just do random writing and try to match it up with a drawing or visa versa. I also sometimes sum up my day with a picture and one out of context quote. The randomized list idea is going to great for character design which is definitely a heavy theme throughout my journaling. Do you also journal Mel?

I'm bad at keeping up habits. Even creative ones that I might enjoy. I do like to start random artsy projects which I sometimes even finish if I'm lucky. Sometimes I get random spurs of inspiration to just draw. Mayhaps I could challenge myself to keep a daily art journal for, like, a week of so...
Your journal sounds like fun though. Would love to see a page sometimes, if you dare to share. In any case, it sounds really nice to aim to leaisurely fill an entire journal with just art. Makes for fun memories to flip through later <3

That completely makes sense I feel like if I got to regimented with journaling it wouldn't be fun anymore. I'm an over sharer in my heart of hearts so I would definitely show some of my pages. I think a weekly prompt is a great idea. I got into journaling specifically because of the very wholesome online community of junk journaling. I find that writing or drawing on trash really reduced the pressure I used to on myself to make it "look good" or asthetically pleasing all the time. Plus I have the handwriting of a mad woman so that also add to it lol.
