Angel Self and the Devils
Mixed Media on Moleskine
For I-Fri theme this week… “Angels and Devils”.
I also submitted this to IMT… “Journaling”.
I use Moleskines as my journal.
I started drawing on them just about a year ago and I’m close to finishing on my second book. (You can see entries on book 1 and book 2 at Flickr.)
I read some users reserve their Moleskine as a special sketchbook, only the best drawings go in there or some are scared to use it for the fear of ruining it. I was like that at first and did not think I could keep making entries on them. But now my Moleskines are no special, I draw on them whatever I want, or trying different media techniques… whether my drawing suck or not… I just move on.
I simply adore your style and sense of colouring!
How dark and mysterious and interesting. I love it! It is perfect for both for IF and IMT. I also do these challenges and find them so stimulating.
Count me as a Moleskine lover too. I just started my second book and admit to being one of those that saved it for the ‘best’ but like you, I just use it all the time now.
i like the loose, scratchy texture and use of colour
It looks like a large painting, but I know the size of Moleskines. What a small treasure! I am impressed by the amount of detail and expression you got into such a small area. Rad!
I haven’t seen any drawings that “suck” yet! This is really cool…I get the feeling that we have many demons that bombard us daily, but this character seems to be protected by some holy glow. Very nice:>
A wonderfull drawing!
Very nice!
I love this piece—the colors, the feeling, and I admire your ability to put pen, pencil and paint to the pages of your moleskins! It’s something I’ve always been just a wee bit too cautious to try (doesn’t really make much sense, but there it is!).
