A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
(Not MY journal, but one going out for a swap, “Stuffed Winter Journal” … or something like that. Basically, pages of either ephemera and notes from whatever I have done, or whatever have felt like doodling throughout January and February. – Swap partner Djcamp04, don’t look!)
And the gift card inspiring the page can be seen peeking up… (I have an addiction to collecting interesting gift cards) Then I googled drawn snowflake images and used other people’s creativity.
A fun pen and ink doodle. Not my idea, but my interpretation. Micron pen on Canson 9×12 mixed media pad.
I actually thought I’d do a quick nothing doodle today because I was going out… but I ended up trying a new brush pen and spent more time than I’d imagined. I like it more than the kuretake marker I’ve tried the past couple of days. It’s a thin plastic tube full of ink, with a brush tip… like if a soft bodied fountain pen and a paint brush had a baby. It’s probably for Japanese writing, actually. (the blue pen in the photo) Found out the hard way the ink stays wet a LONG time and still smears even after it is dry if you erase around it. So… I worked the smears into the design and liked the end result MORE than without the smears! Tried three other new pens as well, micron and comic… Fun doodles! More time than I meant to invest, and certainly doesn’t look like it. But day 13 is finished.
