I recently have gone through a bit of a pen addiction (see previous post), and one of the results of said addiction are these, doodles. I’m not sure why I started them, and I’m really not sure why I had to keep doing them, but do them I did. We’re at 31 and counting. The ink, from regular old Sharpie markers, really spreads well on these watercolor postcards I’ve used for actual watercolor paintings before. This diffusion allows me to, for the most part, blend pen strokes into each other enough to create pleasingly solid areas of color, without too much bleeding beyond where I want the ink to go.

Again, I’m not sure why I needed to do this many. But I did, and here they are, in chronological order. The one on the top of the page is my favorite. Do you have a favorite?

I seriously need to get back to doing, anything but this, hopefully look for more watercolors soon. Damn doodles.
