CHANGE THE INSTRUMENT, CHANGE THE LINE! 365/171

I was looking at some fantastic drawings on styrofoam cups with a Sharpie!!!! by Cheening Boey.  He uses the Fine Point one, not the extra fine that I tend to prefer.  I like the strong graphic quality, so I decided to use the heavier line for this drawing.  It's interesting how much the drawing implement influences the drawing decisions.   I found some styrofoam cups and tried my hand at drawing on one.  A fun discovery.  Thank you, Boey, for the inspirational success story and for a new idea.

HOME ALONE!! 365/164

Interesting that once I missed a day, I have become very lax about this project.  Mental head slap!!  I want that discipline back that this project was supposed to instill in me.  Just goes to show that 21 days in a row doesn't always create a permanent habit.  I'm hoping 365 might do it.

BACK TO THE SCHEDULE! 365/156

This was an interesting discovery.  The pigma brush pen doesn't stick to this slick paper.  I had to go over some of the lines with the Sharpie.  It does give a line variation this way.  It seems some of the surface paper is more accepting of the ink than other parts.  Always good to have plan "B".

KEEPING I TOGETHER! 365/155
