Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Daily Creativity: Love Your BodyThis Love Your Body piece was originally going to be something else. I was using the reference photo for a fallen angel idea I had, but as I was creating the image, I didn’t want to add the wings, I was enjoying the way this figure was taking shape too much. I drew this with fountain pen ink, Diamine Oxblood, and used water to create the shading. This ink isn’t the best for shading in a watercolor style, but it wasn’t supposed to be what it became. I really like how this came out.

Daily Creativity: Zentangle

Daily Creativity: ZentangleZentangle is a word I hadn’t heard until recently, while there is a “method” that some people do, I think it is a new name for doodling. Using patterns to create an image. When I started this I thought I was creating something floral, and then it turned more into something reminiscent of a jelly fish or sea grass. It was a wild ride.

Daily Creativity: You Are Enough

Daily Creativity: You Are EnoughYou are enough. “You alone are enough. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.” -Maya Angelou. This might be a bit of a phone in, but writing out this quote is what I have today. I have been writing and lettering for the last two months and it is a very calming thing. Today I felt a bit swamped and I can tell I’m getting sick, so my creative juices are a bit dry I guess. This is really what I have. Hopefully tomorrow will be more inspiring. This was written with a FPR Eyedropper Flex pen filled with Diamine Purple Pizzazz ink. It’s hard to see in the scan, but there are gold sparkles on the ink.

Daily Creativity: Trash Panda

Daily Creativity: Trash PandaTrash Panda is a tumblr name for a raccoon, but I decided to take the term literally tonight. This is a fountain pen painting. I drew it with a fountain pen and then used water mixed with the ink to create a watercolor, since the ink is water soluble. I really enjoy how these come out, and it gives me a reason to use ink that isn’t waterproof. If you don’t know by now, I have let myself fall headfirst into fountain pens again. I could talk your ear off about them. I write with them, draw with them, I tinker and change their nibs or make frankenpens, and play with ink. So expect some more pieces like this in the future.
