the stuff is really quite fantastic. if you’ve never played with it before- you should! i got a 6-color pack for $7.99 and i think that’s more than worth it. i still have a lot left after making these little dudes. it came with a big pack of red, a big pack of blue, and 4 small packs of white, black, green, and yellow. of course, as an adult, i wish the white and black packs had been the larger two, but little kids would probably fight to the death of blue and red, so i understand the logic.

anyway… no mess, air dry, and its light and fluffy. i will probably go buy more. haha.

i had a little arts & crafts time by myself when i got home from work, but i can’t post the picture yet. so, here… enjoy this naked lady.

or maybe i am subconsciously making up for the past 2 months of no blog posts.

also, you’ll see a lot more sketchbook/traditional media drawings than digital ones in my upcoming posts. i really miss the feel of a real pen on paper. don’t get me wrong, i LOVE my Wacom Intuos tablet… but there’s just something about using traditional media.

and for anyone wondering, i like using STAEDTLER triplus fineliner pens. i actually plan on stopping by blick after work to get a few more colors. you can find their 10-pack set at most arts & crafts stores like Michael’s. But blick offers them individually and in a ton of other colors. another plus about them: if you forget to cap ‘em- they won’t dry out!

i’m happy to announce that since my last post, i’ve become a full-time graphic designer with Sandbox Industries! which is part of the reason i’ve been away. and now, with a full time job, and a 5 day/week commitment to go to the gym, i’m afraid that “a doodle-a-day” would be an impractical promise.

SO… my blog will now be under the title “i do drawings” and i will promise at least 1 post per week, maybe two.

anyway, i’ll shuttup. here’s a drawing!
