20 minutes art journaling – Girl with Lotus Flower
I thought this time would be nice to try to tweak the face proportions and create something obviously exaggerated, but that stays in the whimsical genre. I did a very quick sketch with a black watercolor pencil, with my mindset to elongate the face shape so that she looks way looonger than she is, with big eyes and lips to emphasize the dramatic effect. Her hair builds this image having almost no volume at all, in contrast with most of my faces. It’s not the first time I draw like this, but today I wanted to try this style again. It’s obvious that is more carefree, with no big expectations,…

Drawing with wax crayons
It can be hard to find time and space to draw and paint with a little one, but not when he’s also into it! So in those moments I draw along with him. This time I thought it would be nice to see if I can draw a face using his Bic wax crayons, and the result was pretty surprising. I kinda like the way it looks and thw marks it leaves on the paper. I continued applying layer afer layer until I find that she’s looking pretty good for a wax crayon drawing. Of course, I’m inclined to add some acrylic paints over the wax marks, but I’m not…

Whimsical face with pink hair
I wasn’t sure I want to finish this face as it looks kind of weird, but eventually I got caught into the process and went with the flow: it didn’t come out so bad, so I added colors to *beautify* the page even more.

I did this pencil sketch a while back in my art journal with the intention to add colors at some point, but…

Happy, silly animals
Having a little one has inspired me to create childish and funny animal shapes that look so gorgeous, at least to my eyes. And since I got started, I think I’m going to try drawing a cat or a cow or who knows what other animal… Just for fun! Având un copil mic am fost inspirată să creez animale în forme anuzante și copilărești care arată atât de minunat, cel puțin așa mi se pare mie. Și cum m am pornit, cred că o sa desenez și o pisicuță sau o văcuță sau cine știe ce alt animal… Așa, doar ca să mă distrez! It all started with a sketch…
