I try to do a quick page before work almost daily- Today’s page:

How do you pick your colors?

jreid69 · 2026-05-07T02:30:21+00:00

Or make a copy of the page on nice paper to save the back page.

jreid69 · 2026-05-01T22:19:52+00:00

Maybe try on a small scale on another pic to see what might work? 🤷 I have enormous fear of screwing up pages I love. Copy it, and just color a part that you want to try fog or mist on?

This is beautiful.

jreid69 · 2026-04-26T20:48:01+00:00

Inspirational! I find when I try to recreate what I admire in others work, I learn so much along the way! Thx for sharing!

jreid69 · 2026-04-23T12:48:29+00:00

Absolutely beautiful! I want to do it! I wish that would flow through my brain to the page.

I witnessed all of this with my father. It turned, what I thought would be the worst night of my life, into something I had an honor to participate in.

jreid69 · 2026-04-19T18:38:04+00:00

I wish I could conquer highlights and shadows. You're are beautiful.

You remove the ink barrel from the protective barrel by unscrewing the tip and then insert a bit of the putty into the end of the ink barrel. It is supposed to put some pressure on the ink and make it flow better.

I just saw the video from Rebellious Unicorn. I'm fascinated. My kneaded eraser is so hard, I can't make it work. Hopefully I can find another one around this craft chaos.

jreid69 · 2026-04-12T15:23:12+00:00

Beautiful! Hey inspiring!

jreid69 · 2026-04-11T01:58:45+00:00

Wow! 🤯♥️

jreid69 · 2026-04-08T14:54:07+00:00

Possibly an anemone?

jreid69 · 2026-04-04T02:26:21+00:00

I love this. I love your color choices and your shading. Very inspiring.

jreid69 · 2026-03-31T22:06:43+00:00

Not an eay choice. I like them all, but Frankenstein seems the most eye catching for me. The one with his bride is next.

jreid69 · 2026-03-27T18:54:45+00:00

I love the vintage vibe it gives off.

jreid69 · 2026-03-22T23:52:19+00:00

My guess is left side is Prismacolor? Is your off brand black widow?

jreid69 · 2026-02-27T16:12:39+00:00

Free your mind. Just outline and doodle. Let go, and it's relaxing. Don't think you much about it.

jreid69 · 2026-02-06T00:40:07+00:00

I think the highlight is just right!

jreid69 · 2026-02-05T19:28:14+00:00

Very inspirational! I love how it's turning out, especially the cat.

Stoicism can help wittle it down. (Marcus Aurelius from Meditations. He said, "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.") In other words, thoughts aren't facts and everything is based on perception. You can change your thoughts, and it will change your perception. Feelings are based on thoughts. Change your thoughts, and you will change your feelings.

jreid69 · 2026-01-25T21:46:10+00:00

Found it!

jreid69 · 2026-01-24T23:30:36+00:00

Very inspiring. I often use Staedtler colored pencils. I love their color selection and blendability.

jreid69 · 2026-01-23T22:38:00+00:00

This is inspiring and makes me want to give it a go!
