It’s the end of watercolor month. Here is a sketch from the Cranbrook Art Museum grounds done this last weekend.

I'm finally moving into the final art phase for this book. I'm feeling more confident with the watercolors.

Do you traditional artists struggle with the scanning and color corrections? Do you use CMYK?

Wow! I cannot imagine using a ballpoint pen to cover that much area with that depth of color and cross hatching. You must have stocked up on those pens! Excellent work! 👍😊

For everyday use, I like the Bic Atlantis pen. I recently bought a TWSBI ECO fountain pen with an extra fine nib. It holds a lot of ink and has been working well. It's fun to use and not too expensive. The body is transparent. So, you can see how much ink is left. Just have to buy ink 😊

Hello! I decided to take flight into the Blue Sky world. (I keep thinking of the A-Ha song, "The Blue Sky" 😊). I'm on a journey to illustrate a children's book and enjoying the process along the way and am looking forward to connecting with others in the kidlit community. Peace! ☮️🦋
