AJC10: Week 5 - Bloom where you Grow


The Blog of the Week for this week's Art Journal journey is Cori Dantini's and her art inspired the above picture. I haven't draw anything for a long time so getting pencil and watercolour paper out was daunting but that why they make pencil rubbers :). I pencilled out the idea and then used my black pen to go round everything using the thicker end to frame the drawing. I used watercolour pens and wetted the drawn hair, adding some pink lines from a sharpie to darken some highlights.

AJC10: Not all doom and gloom

When I saw the blog for this week, I took away Ann Woods' use of boats and I've added two inspirational quotes that I keep with me: the top one is the one that gets me to do things when anxiety starts to hit me.
