… adventures in creativity.

A drawing is simply a line going for a walk. — Paul Klee

One continuous line walking all over me.

Auuuugh!!!

Zombie eyes!

I didn’t like how my eyes looked with the white ink but my “repairs” only made things worse.

Is it tomorrow yet?

Shading done first with acrylic ink; followed by the line work.

It’s late, I’m tired and it shows.

Background is dye-based stamp pad re-inker diluted with water and spread with a brush. I love the color… it’s Lettuce.
