Inkling

I am really enjoying this “youthful read”!

Cucumber Girl

This is a follow up to a drawing I did last week, I like my little cucumber girl very much!  This is a prototype for a lunchbox drawing that I will put in my granddaughters lunch next week.  She likes to make up jokes and she likes it when I put a drawing in with her lunch. Pen and Inktenseblocks for the colour.  #inktober2018

I’ll be putting the answer on the inside of the card just in case she can’t figure out my silly joke.  She will be 7 years old next month and she is smart as a whip but she doesn’t eat pickles.  

A Rogues Gallery

I am learning techniques on how to create new journals on line with Kiala Givehand.  All the sketch’s in my Rogues Gallery are Sktchy inspired with thanks to Snappy Jasmine and Barbara  This is a prototype of a clutch folded structure so it is on cheap paper. Very fun! I used my new Sailor fude pen and that was fun too! #inktober #inktober2018

French Door journal structure

Learning how to make some new books/journals with Kiala Givehand This is book 1 on Day 1.  She is calling it a French Door structure although it could be could other names.  I see it as a big letter M in the middle. There is no content as I just used the paper I had on hand. #7books7days #bindbookswithme 

The Grizzlies

My illustrated journal entry. Lacrosse is actually Canada’s national sport but in 1994 it became our summer sport and hockey our winter sport.  We went into town yesterday to see  a new film at our local film festival - The GRIZZLIES.  What a wonderful film. I glued in our tickets on the left with Washi tape in my Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.

Landscape change

I tried to channel Inma Serrano.  Not use to drawing with a brush then adding ink for definition and a bit of detail.  I used kiddo oil pastel crayons for some interest.  Not my best effort but I made some art! 

Exhausted

Not my best effort but I made some art for inktober

Drool

Drool I’m pretending this doggie was drooling.  My 6 year old granddaughter wanted a drawing for her lunchbox (she likes it when I do that - thank goodness for Sktchy!!) she will get this tomorrow when she goes back tomorrow.  Ballpoints, black Kuretetake, white marker to smudge Faber Caddell Pitt markers.
