More New Supply Fun (blog-a-day challenge, day 5)

Yesterday I wrote about my marker upgrade from humble Crayolas to Staedtler Pigment Liner pens and a 6H Prismacolor pencil. Today I will discuss the other new items I purchased from Blick. But first, I forgot to mention yesterday that part of my reason for trying new pens is that I’d like to be ableContinue reading “More New Supply Fun (blog-a-day challenge, day 5)”

Inktober Day 30

Same theme…

Inktober Day 29

The theme continues…

Inktober Day 28

I did a tiny 10 minute drawing that day. I felt bad because it wasn’t much, so I did a make up drawing for it (along with 2 others) yesterday. By the way, I think you will see a theme emerging for the last few days of the challenge.

Inktober Day 24

I see some good elements for fabric design motifs. And liking the colors, even the grey which I was doubtful of but thought I’d still throw in there. 9×12 inches, crayola markers

Inktober Day 23

9×12 inches, crayola markers

Inktober Day 22

And…. I’m caught up. (9×12″ Crayola markers)

Inktober Day 21

Another weird and fun abstract thing.

Inktober Day 20

I’ve had a hard time keeping up with this (Inktober). And truthfully if there were a grade I’d probably only get a “C” at best. But I’d rather have that than a “Withdrawn from Course.” I see my drawings evolving and I think improving. And it’s fun when I actually get myself to it. FinallyContinue reading “Inktober Day 20”
