After I got the scanner done it was time to play. First, I made a couple of book marks and then it was time to bring out the markers. I got a piece of green card stock about 5" x 2" and then looked for something to draw. Well my Blue Fronted Amazon parrot was sitting on her little
I drew a pencil outline and then used a white scrapbooking marker to fill it in. I was just going to leave it white but I pulled out my other markers, yes scrapbooking ones (Le Plume) and some colored Sharpies. The drawing is layers of the different markers and blended them with a blending marker. After it was done I cut it out and placed it on aged red paper which is the same size as the green. The effect was strange. It looks a bit like I painted it. After awhile the markers were roughing up the paper. I glued it in my new drawing book but before I did that I had scanned it in. Art book was upstairs so I will have to scan that some other time.

I really like the effect of this! I love more stylized parrot art. (realistic abounds)Nice job with this! It's fun when experimenting pan out. :-)
Thanks, I love happy accidents;-) I have a hard time now with drawing because my illness makes my head wiggle (on the inside no one sees it) and my hands might move. I need more practice and adjust to this condition. I gave up drawing a lot these past four years, which is why I am glad I found this group. All these beautiful artists are giving me confidence to draw.
Have a great day!

Lucky you having a studio space, looks great. It is such a wonderful hobby drawing and being creative, so good to inspire children too.
