EDM#205 & TAD#2
This image is doing triple duty. It is my EDM#205 (Everyday Matters) assignment, it is my post for TAD#2 (Thing-a-Day), and it is my inaugural drawing in my new Moleskine sketchbook.
This was a quick and dirty sketch that took me about 15 minutes to complete. It is just a basic line sketch done in pen & ink. I wanted something to start off my new sketchbook. My sketchbook is 3.5in x 5.5in so this is not a very big image.
Do I like the moleskine? Well, yes. I like the slickness of the page and how the ink went on smoothly. I was a little disappointed that the ink bled through the page a little bit. However, it was not too bad and I can work around it.
This sketchbook is mainly going to be used as a traveling sketchbook since it fits nicely into my pocket or small purse. I like having a sketchbook with me at all times for when the mood hits me.

I like everyday objects drawn in pen and ink. Aaaahh, moleskines, what would we do without them?
ReplyDeleteMulti-tasking at its best!
ReplyDeleteI seem to have a love/strong dislike thing going on with my Moleskine. For some things, it's great, for others not so much!
Glad to see you putting yours to good use!
