Just add colors =D

Hullo! Haha. It has been a couple days =D
This time, I'm starting to use watercolor pans (and waterbrush)
They aren't perfect, but I'm getting there =D
Practice practice and practice! ;)

There is more than meets the eye. Read it over and between the lines!

"After one moment when I bowed my head
And the whole world turned over and came upright,
And I came out where the old road shone white.
I walked the ways and heard what all men said,
Forests of tongues, like autumn leaves un-shed,
Being not unlovable but strange and light;
Old riddles and new creeds, not in despite
But softly, as men smile about the dead

The sages have a hundred maps to give
That trace their crawling cosmos like a tree,
They rattle reason out through many a sieve
That stores the sand and lets the gold go free:
And all these things are less than dust to me
Because my name is Lazarus, and I live."


There is more than meets the eye. Read it over and between the lines!

Happy almost Chritsmas!

December (and it's huge!)


No, I really do HAVE been drawing!
I finished my third moleskine, and now I'm trying out this Piccadilly notebook (if there's ever anything that come close to moleskine imitator, this would be it! With freakishly similar design, cover, pages, size, etc! I smell conspiracy lol!)
Good news is, it's one third the price of moleskine lol.
No, I'll get back using moleskine again eventually; but for now, I'm too poor =D
All images are drawn using either Lamy fountain pen / Rotring Art Pen (with noodler black ink)

Cut to the case, here they are! =D
