I had so much fun making this one. With each piece that I do it becomes easier and easier for me to “let loose”. I have always set up “rules” for myself, forcing myself to stick to a made up guideline when it came to my drawings. Since working with zentangle and my totem animals…

Zen Reindeer WIP
I finally finished the ink for my reindeer totem. It felt like it took forever. I could have kept going too but I stopped myself. Sometimes I get too carried away with the ink that the color turns out funky. Either that or the color takes away from the ink. Neither are good. I…
ZenSkunk WIP
I just finished the ink for my latest totem, the skunk. I am very pleased with how this one came out. Though, this is actually my second attempt. My first attempt was not working at all. The tangles were messy and rushed. The drawing was not flowing and I couldn’t “see” what I wanted…

Inktober 2018 – Jolt
My first thought for “Jolt” was Frankenstein, an obvious choice. I wasn’t in the mood to draw another Frankenstein themed sketch though. I went with my second choice instead, Jaws. I didn’t realize it until I had already started but this incorporates fire and water, two of the hardest things for me to draw. This…
