Day 176 (sun 6/25) Ruby’s second chance

It’s Ruby’s second chance, she has a brand new family loving her. AND her second chance here in my blog now that I have tried a second drawing… much better job and I’m quite pleased. I don’t want to repost yesterday’s flop (what was I thinking??) but here it is anyway. So you can see why I’m happier today. And why sometimes it is worth doing something more than once.

Best of luck, Ruby!!

Day 170 (Mon 6/19) Inky Cow sketch

I tried out some Noodler’s Heart of Darkness ink in a fountain pen they include with the bottle on a sort of zentangle-y cow sketch. I ordered it because I thought it was waterproof, or mostly waterproof, and was going to add color… but you can see what happened when I touched water to it. I’ll try letting some dry overnight and see if it still reacts the same way. I like the result, but I wanted a fountain pen I could use for my watercolor sketches. Oh well, back to Staedtler and uniball. They are great, so it’s all good. I just wanted to play around with line width a bit.
