Definitely doodling---This is my first mandela and it ranged from great fun to great frustration. It ended up a little "waby swaby," but I suppose that's in keeping. It's 12 inches across with 32 points. Drawn with a micron pen, then colored in markers (in whatever colors I happened to have) and has colored pencil shadows. I scanned it into PhotoShop and played with altering colors. Made a green one for my green-crazy friend and a subdued desaturated one for myself. It's quite printable on my oversized color laser printer---so ill be a fun "social distancing" poster gift for my friends. Each one with a personal color range.
I frankly never thought I would ever draw She Hulk on paper especially with a marker..I thought I would draw her on a iPad first which sadly I don't have yet.she is really fun to draw mainly when you can give her big muscles,after all she is a hulk!She Hulk in the blue dress is a screenshot redraw from this https://netflix-news.atsit.in/th/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/e0b8a1e0b8b5e0b8a3e0b8b2e0b8a2e0b887e0b8b2e0b899e0b8a7e0b988e0b8b2-marvel-studios-e0b984e0b8a1e0b988e0b895e0b989e0b8ade0b887e0b881e0b8b2.jpg From the series
WHIP IT GOOD. This ode to Devo was drawn with fountain pen ink run through brush markers. The watercolor effect was me running a wet brush through parts to make the fountain pen ink lift and pool. If you want more Leah Fun™, be sure to check out instagram Super_Starling!
I printed my black and white zentangle drawing on marker paper and colored it with alcohol markers. At first it was a bit to garish with too much contrast, so I painted a warm grey over the whole piece. That gave me what I was looking for. Of course, THEN I completely undermined that with making a bunch of wild colored ones (two shown here) by playing with them in Photoshop. I shall be using this (along with my Zentangle koi posted la while back) for printing blank cards that we sell for charitable (mostly foodbanks) organizations.
For the past two months ive been participating on the #drawthisinyourstyle challege at instagram. Here are some of the ones i made. Many more on my instagram account @mjdaluz_illustration
