The piece was then copied in black and white using an HP copier. The artwork is inspired by “Beyond Waves & the Notion of Time,” my blog post about the importance of the journey: http://bit.ly/2Fs0au4.

Sketch for Inktober 2015.

A few of my favorite pages from my sketchbook documenting my trip to China in the summer of 2017. An amazing and life changing experience.

Currently exploring image making with fountain pens: immediate mark making, no pencil, no eraser. I'm enjoying the discovery process and embracing the stray mark made with semi-blind contour and continuous line drawings.

Day 1: yourself. This is my personal project #DoodleWithRin365 that I am working now. It is a journey of self development in creativity and encourage myself to explore as many things as possible. I have focused a lot in detailed architecture last 2 years and really enjoyed those crazy detail lines. This year, I would like to explore something different. In this project, I decide on those themes by myself which will be included things I like and also things that I have never tried before but would like to know more. Back to my works here, I used Pilot new brush pen to completed the outline on my sketchbook and the wording with tablet. For second version, I used my real lipstick for lips :)

Goofing around with ink droppers and dogs. I was experimenting with this and he was the first one and I thought he looked fun.

Watercolor and stabilo black pencil. I made a gazillion of these guys for Christmas they make me smile.
