Sometimes, I just feel like doodling in my art journal. Here are a few of my recent doodles, and I have a video for the first one. SEE BELOW I used my zebra brush pen, colored pencils, and a Tonic Studios shimmer pen to add a little sparkle. Doodles are a great way to still create when you don't have a plan. I like how this one almost looks like (kinda-sorta) a stained glass window! Here are some more! This one just below is like a journal page held down with washi. Then, I have ... View the Post
Colored Pencils: Botanicals & A Butterfly
Colored pencils were my first art supply love way (a long way) back in the day. :) Here, I'm using my Prismacolor pencils to color my ink drawing of these wispy botanicals and butterfly. I love using Prismacolor's colorless blender pencils to smooth out some spots. I created a seamless pattern, as you can see on the phone case below. ... View the Post
VIDEO: Alice with Jane Davenport Face Stencils
I love these Jane Davenport face stencils! They really can be a help when you don't want to have to think too hard about face proportions. There are several "styles" that will lead to endless variety. Check out the video below to see the drawing process! I love Alice in Wonderland, so my inspiration for this young lady was from that story. I love my square art journals! Feel free to play! ... View the Post
Peaches: Inktense Pencils Vs. Stabilo-All
I love to paint fruit! I painted the peach on the left with Derwent Inktense pencils, then I decided to pick up my Stabilo All pencil in black to paint the one on the right. I tried to make them as similar as possible. Both pencils are applied dry, then are activated with water. It was an interesting observation to see the value differences. Have you ever tried to paint something in color and then also in black and white? Try it! I'll even let you count it for #Inktober. :) Here is ... View the Post
Drawing Little Things
I am often inspired by the quaint, old-fashioned things featured in Daphne's Diary. I love history and lovely things that made a home beautiful. I thought I would draw something other than people and flowers. :) I drew the dresser with a Micron pen, then added colored pencil and Derwent Inktense pencils, activated with water. It was a fun little exercise, and I created a seamless pattern that can be used for fabric or paper. Sometimes, we have to go out of our comfort zone! That is how we ... View the Post
Prismacolor Drawing: Storybook Bunny Lady
I always feel like I have a children's book brewing in my creative teapot. :) I love drawing storybook characters in my art journal. This lady bunny is dressed to impress and wearing her pearls! I'll have to give her a place to go. :) Do you love to draw personified animals? They always seem so wholesome in a world of increasing unwholesomeness. I used ink and my Prismacolor pencils. I also added some Tonic Studios shimmer pen fun to the finished drawing. It's harder to see in the picture, ... View the Post
