Keira Knightley.... Going back to the pen

I don't know why, but whenever I tend to sketch, I really like to use pen. A regular writing pen. It gets messy at times, but I think I seem to know how to control this utensil a bit better whilst drawing. I decided to experiment on Keira Knightley today, not only because I think she is a pretty good actress, but because this is her advertising for Chanel. What an excellent perfume! I'm going to continue with the pen and see what happens....

Going Green!

I know its a bit late for Earth Day and all, but I don't know what drove me to pick up a GREEN Sharpie Marker. It's weird, sometimes I get these urges to try and do stuff out the of ordinary, and express them through my artwork, but I went with it this time. You may never know what results might bring with these risky chances that you take. I highly recommend it!!
At first, of course, I didn't like it, but I pulled myself through with it and started mixing in different mediums. First I used a regular pen, one that you write with, then I started using a GREEN Sharpie Marker, and then I finished it off with colored pencils. Somewhat satisfied with the end result, but we'll see what happens later....

Messy Day=Messy Drawing

My mother likes to collect plants and exhibit them around the house. She has a green thumb, so yeah, you can imagine our back yard, too. I decided to skid off my regular style, and try a different approach. Messy basically describes this drawing, and I'm not too sure how I should feel about it. I tried varying the line quality as well as the different approach of colors. I guess yesterday's drawing was intervening with this one today....
The difference however, is obviously the type of paper I used and medium. I went drastic, by using a regular pen, as well as water-soluble crayons. They are pretty fun to use, and you can get a lot of different results with them. I created the water color effect on them, by pushing the colors around with a brush and water. So there you have it...the Peace Lily flower!
