Of all the pieces in the show, this one is probably the one that looks the most like the inside of my sketchbook. Unless I theme a sketchbook (which I often do), the pages inside tend to be a swirl of random patterns, floating heads, writing, or full page drawings to express a specific thought. Lately though, aside from my marker-filled themed robot sketchbook, this is what my sketchbooks have looked like. As I get back into drawing, I've been trying all sorts of drawing tools again - pens, markers, watercolor, colored pencil - whatever I can get my hands on! It's like I'm using all this stuff for the first time all over again - it's been SO fun!
For this piece, I just let loose and tried to treat it the way I would treat a page in my sketchbook. When drawing in my sketchbook, I often experiment with new pens I've acquired. For this piece, I really wanted to try out my new Opaque White Souffle Pen and see how opaque it really is. Needless to say, I think it's my new favorite white pen! (Yay for Jet Pens!)
