Challenges

I wanted to start practicing this zentangle-inspired-art form and I decided to try some of the challenges that are posted by I am the diva.  Better late than never, right?  I started right from the beginning and I will work my way through them...either to the end (100 right now) or until I feel like I am getting better at drawing them!

I have been using some cheap coloured card stock that I got at the dollar store once upon a time and some very-fine tipped Sharpies.  They may not be the best quality materials, but they certainly work for practicing!

The first Diva Challenge was called Simplicity and I came up with the following two ideas:

 

The second Diva Challenge was called Two Pencil String and I came up with:

The third Diva Challenge, Eyes Wide Shut, was drawing the string with eyes closed, and I ended up with:

 The fourth Diva Challenge, Starry Eyed Surprise, and mine turned out like this:

The fifth Diva Challenge, Orbs, ended up like this.  Not my favourite...didn't turn out how I wanted, but that is what practicing is all about.  If I get a better one done, I will post it later.

That's all the ones I have done for now.  I am going to the I am the diva site now to get the next few.  They are lots of fun and are small enough that I feel like I am actually accomplishing something!

In the meantime, here are a couple of rocks I've finished:

Now, back to doodling!
