Flowers and more flowers. Done with Derwent Inktense Pencils on 16″ x 20″ Carson Artboard. Inktense is like watercolor pencils, the only difference is once water is applied, it’s permanent. One tip I used was, if you outline in color pencils, it will help with the bleeding. So, I used Prismacolor pencil on the outline.

Large Colorful Mandala 7
This mandala was the result of me getting a design / pattern stuck in my head and the need to put it on paper. Is was done on a 16″ x 20″ using Sakura gel pens.
After the design was put on paper, I thought the background was to plain. I colored it with watercolor ink using a sponge.

Mandala 010
Success! Well somewhat!
This is probably my first successful drawing using alcohol ink pens, well somewhat. Alcohol ink dries quickly but it bleeds very badly. One tip I read with using alcohol ink was to outline the area in matching color pencil.
This drawing is a mixture of Faber Castell Pitt Pens, Prismacolor Pencils, and Chameleon Pens.
Morning Mandi
Still traveling. This morning I had time to draw a mandala.
I was wise enough this morning to stop when the drawing looked good, instead of trying to fill the page.
Marigold on Black
I was going to make the flower more detailed, but after I drew in the leaves I thought in looked good.
Circles Make Flower
There are 25 circles which makes this flower drawing. It was colored in a pattern. Can you tell what the pattern was?
The drawing was done on a Studio Series Artist tile with Faber Castell Pitt Pen and Prismacolor pencils.
The pattern was two part: Areas that do not overlap, were not colored; and the lighter shades of colors were connected.
Flower in Lace
My inspiration for today’s drawing comes for a lace curtain I saw at a museum.

Webby Lace
This is the lace design done in Corel Draw.
