TOO WEIRD: 365/5



This page in the calendar was the pattern for the penguin.  The strong black shapes really dominate and it wasn't a great background to put a drawing on top.  I tried out a couple of different pens to see how they take to this surface.  The Sharpie covered better than the Tombow.  Tomorrow's pattern looks more promising for a background.

  1. Too late now, but how about putting your face on the penguin's belly? Make him a hat!

  4. Nita, a very clever idea! I wasn't considering what was on the page, just the space available to draw. Will have to give more attention to the background.

  6. Deborah, yes, join in. I spend just a few minutes each evening drawing. I have everything at hand to make it easy.
