Sign Inspiration Drawing

Today's drawing was
inspired by a picture of a sign
my friend had posted from her travels. 

It caught my eye and I decided to 
draw my own version of it. 

I used pitt pens and pencils on Bristol paper. 


Thanks for stopping by.

Tangled Portrait

I've only done the drawing part
on this piece. I still need to work 
on some shading. 

I love the sunflowers on her cheeks. 

Today I'll be working on my art journal.

I'm finding the process is getting 
easier and easier with each page. 


Wishing you a blessed day.

Playing with Markers

I've been working on my first art journal. 

I told myself beforehand that I wasn't going to rip
any pages out no matter how they turned out. 

Becoming better at ones craft is an evolution. 

I wanted to see the progression of my work 
from page 1 to page 50, or however many pages there are. 

Well, I broke my own rule on the first page yesterday.

I'd coated the finished page with a gloss super heavy 
gel that started to stick and pull apart
the finished inside cover of my journal.

Yikes!

I weighed my options and decided to start fresh
again with my rule now reenacted.

Live and learn. . . 

The following picture is one of my
drawings I made while playing with markers.

Wood Cut Drawing

Wood cut prints always catch my eye. 

Their contrast, details, variation in style and intricacy
are so appealing to me. 

My drawing is calling out to be carved. 

I've only had a small amount of experience in 
school with wood cutting, but I remember it
being a lot of fun. 

Not having all the materials at this time, 
this'll get relegated to the "unfinished" box for now.

So many projects, so little time!


Thanks for stopping by.

Wishing you peace, love and joy.
