Inktober Day 2 – Wisp
Will o’ the wisp…..I got this sketchbook back in 2018 when I attended an Artsnacks Inktober outing. I came home with a lot of freebies, this sketchbook and my favorite Kuretake grey brush pen being two items from that haul. It’s a 4×6 Bee Super Deluxe Mixed Media sketchbook and I love the paper. It’sContinue reading “Inktober Day 2 – Wisp”
Inktober 2020 Begins
Three weeks ago, I was starting to think about Inktober and what I was going to do this year.

A page spread develops – artistic process
These are my sketches for a page spread that I am doing for my children’s book course. I had a ton of ideas and I did a bunch of thumbnails, but I opted for the simplest design in order not to get frustrated, and could complete it within the time frame allotted. Advice that IContinue reading “A page spread develops – artistic process”
