Here’s my latest Moleskin Mama. Ink & Prismacolor Markers. I love it when girls are named Billy – they’re just so tough!
For this one and the one posted below, I went with a dark background — leaving a narrow white outline around the figure. I may go back and do this with all my moleskin mamas – just to unify the series.
I just started drawing in a moleskin journal. I now know why people rave about the moleskins. I love the smooth surface and the fact that my prismacolor markers don’t bleed horizontally. It does bleed through the back a little, but that can be handled with a piece of paper in between the pages.
I’ve also been playing around with thick lining around my figures. I first did it with my gothic Wizard of Oz ATC’s series. It seemed appropriate for the theme. So, when I was drawing in the moleskins, I got a little addicted to the smooth feel of the paper and wanted to draw more, so I used the thick outline on these figures.
My new challenge? How thick is too thick? One may never know . .
