This totem drawing is unique from my others. I was really worried about the black over powering the tangles or the entire image in general. I didn’t want the skunk to turn into a blob so I incorporated different colors, shades of blue and purple. I like how it adds to the “flower” look and…

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…
Totem Animal: Turkey
Today is the day to honor the turkey. I am happy with how this piece turned out. I used prismacolor markers along with colored pencils on this one. I think it turned out a lot better than my past totems. The colors pop and the shading was easier to accomplish. I’m surprised it took me…
ZenTurkey WIP
I was originally going to start working on skunk as my next totem. I saw so many earlier this year and even though the temperatures are growing colder, they are still appearing to me. They must have a message that I need to receive! I apologize skunk but I will have to complete you next…
Totem Animal: Tiger
I really enjoyed creating this piece. Tigers are one of my favorite animals. I have drawn a few in the past but none in color surprisingly enough! I didn’t put that many tangles into this one or any for that matter. Tigers, I feel, are a walking Zentangle all on their own. I didn’t need…
What I Learned from Inktober This Year
I have participated in Inktober for three years now. I first heard of it in 2016. Unfortunately, it was already half way through the month so I only completed 13 sketches that year. My second year, 2017, was a complete series. It was extremely difficult for me though, completing all the sketches in time. I…
Inktober 2018 – Slice
Here is the final sketch for this year’s Inktober. It was a great month and I did not slip up or fall behind once! Super proud of myself! I hope you enjoyed the sketches as much as I enjoyed creating them! I came a long way in only a month! ****************************************** Inktober 2017 Inktober 2016
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…
