Faces – 2

Continuing with my series of faces / portraits, here's another one I made a while back - I still don't have a style of my own, and it's fun to create these faces however I want to (or rather, to create them however they end up turning out. 😉 ) I don't create them as…

What We Need

[Challenge win: Top rocker at 613 Avenue Create challenge] Here's a recent art journal page of mine - I made this on a wax paper page that I'd included in my journal. Last time I used wax paper for a spread, I'd added acrylics and washi tape for the base, and I thought that didn't…

Faces – 1

When it comes to using faces in my art journaling, I enjoy making abstract, distorted ones since they only need to roughly conform to the semantics of a human face. The proportions can be off, the lines can be haphazard, the coloring can be wacky--it still reminds me of a face, and it renders quickly…

You Are Enough

[Challenge win: Top rocker at 613 Avenue Create challenge][Challenge win: Designer spotlight at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge] Looks like I can't have enough of this message these days. 🙂 Here's a recent art journal page of mine that reflects the sentiment - I started this spread by making a ghost print using my gel…

All Good Things

Here's a recent art journal spread of mine - I made this spread on a page made of wax paper--I'd used various materials for the pages of this art journal, and I've been loving working on all of them. I started off by brushing acrylics on the page. I then adhered lots and lots of…

A Dash of Doodles

Here are some Zentangle-inspired doodles that I made a while back - I started adding borders to my pages to ease storage and maintenance of the pages. 🙂 I used gel pens for drawing, and watercolors and oil-based pencils for shading. I usually stick to monochrome doodles, but sometimes, I like to use multiple colors,…

Look Within Yourself

[Challenge win: Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create challenge] Here's a recent, quick art journal spread of mine - I made this spread on pages that I'd used tea to dye, which gives them a brownish tinge. I started out with some gel plate fun. I used acrylics with a stencil to fill up the…

Dabbling in Doodling

Late last year, I was looking for mandala inspirations since I wanted to redo a mandala-ish creation from a long time ago to better resemble a mandala, symmetry and all. During my search, I came across the concept of Zentangle. While I like the structure and symmetry that is naturally a part of drawing mandalas,…
