Grids and Doodles…
I was looking at a face in a fashion magazine yesterday. I wanted to sketch it but I also wanted to try for a more whimsical effect. I did two sketches with pencil on graph paper, then I went over the lines with my fine Sharpie marker. The ideas seemed to flow from there. I planned to glue the faces into my BOD journal. At first, I was going to paint the faces with acrylic paint…hence, the painted hair. I picked up some Tombow and Crayola markers and colored in a few places. I was experimenting and liked the effects I was getting. The Tombow markers act as watercolors when water is used with them. I used water on the face on the right but not on the left face. I couldn’t decide what kind of background to use but decided to use a doodle grid to echo the squares of the graph paper. The last photo is a doodle page from earlier last week.
Very cool! I love how they look on the doodle grid.
Love the faces on graph paper! And the background is perfect. Wow! You’re really on a roll.
This is a gorgeous page. Don’t you just love graph paper? I do! xoxo
I love those pages, the girls rock and so do the grids
These are great! :]
I haven’t really messed around with graph paper in along time… you have inspired me.
Nice!
I really like how you picked up that base element of squares in other areas of your piece, too (your doodles and the lipstick/dress/hair, etc…)
Very cool!
Love these doodled girls and their whimsy !
These look so cool! It’s fun to see how you worked through it.
Beautiful and unique!
