Several weeks ago my friend Kay gave me one of her Art tool lazy susan spinners.........I know there is an appropriate name but lets just call it this for now. This has definitely changed how convenient for me to move my pens from room to room...........it is usually sitting on the ottoman in the family room where I do most of my doodling. Just thought you'd like to know how I keep my pens readily available!
Last week I said I would share how I go about doodling..
THese are the pens I use. I have found the smash black pen is great for the outline of the doodling. No smearing of the lines and I love the point. For all the rest I use the sharpie in every point. I also use the micron pen for the really small details.........
Then for any of the dots I love the sharpie white and for gold or silver details I use these Pentel silver and gold.
For patterns you can use an already made shape or freehand and make your own........
trace around your pattern shape and then start to draw basic lines. If you have eyes or fins like the fish, draw those in..........then start to doodle. Fill in the doodles with your colored sharpies or copic markers. I love the colors of copic but when you do as much as I do and they are so expensive I try not to use them as much .......but I do use them.
Cut around each shape. I always like to back it with a solid color such as black or gold. Sometimes if I think it looks like it needs something a little different I may use a color.
For these I used craft paper and you can tell it is a more softer duller color.......I haven't backed these yet.
For white paper I use the real heavy 110lb. card stock. If you don't have that heavy just the regular cardstock will work.
Well I think that is all. If anyone has any questions please always feel free to ask. I would love to help or answer.
Happy tuesday!
