A Peek in my Art Journal: Drawcember

This past month, I attempted Drawcember, a drawing challenge on Instagram.  I completed about one week of posts and then lost steam.  Here is my progress:

A Peek in my Art Journal: Mandalas

I have been really into drawing mandalas recently.

 And my favorite...

What have you been drawing recently?

Do you like to draw mandalas?

Share your work.  I would love to see.

A Peek in My Art Journal #15 and a Small Giveaway

This week, I completed the third video in Paul Priestly's Drawing Basics Playlist on Youtube.  I drew a teddy bear and I am pretty happy with the result.

Now for the giveaway!  Just a little giveaway....

I will choose three random names from everyone who joins in the link-up to receive one of my doodle ATCs.  You have two weeks to share a link to your art journal page to be entered in the giveaway.  Here's the link-up.

A Peek in my Sketchbook: Link-up #14 and a Small Giveaway

This week, I completed a page that I started a while ago.  This page was inspired by the Journal 52 week 4 prompt: Full Moon.  I searched for images online and found one I liked.  Then I created this page inspired by that image.  I used my new gel pens to color the final product.  I think it turned out well.

Now for the giveaway!  Just a little giveaway....

I will choose three random names from everyone who joins in the link-up to receive one of my doodle ATCs.  You have two weeks to share a link to your art journal page to be entered in the giveaway.  Here's the link-up.

A Peek in my Art Journal Returns!

This weekly feature has been gone for a while now.  I was starting to feel disappointed that week after week no one joined the link-up, but I have decided to continue sharing my work and progress.  I am not including the link-up this week, but it will return next week, with a small giveaway included.  

For now here is a page that I created this week.  I had colored a coloring sheet from Dover Publications a long time ago and always wanted to do something more to it.  So this week, I cut the coloring page into strips and wove them together in my journal.  I love the effect.

Days 36-58 OK, I have not been posting every day, but I have been trying to be creative every day and most days, I succeed. Today I made an art journal page with a coloring sheet I cut up and weaved together. #100daysproject #ced2016 #100daysinmycraftroom #artjournaling
