It was a happy week. I am saying that because even though it was my “go to office” week when I usually don’t manage much of my art, I anyway did find time to create. That makes me very happy. The first thing I did is this little art journal entry:

I used gelatos for background and then drew the face over with Derwent drawing pencils and gesso. The pink and gold (which seems green on the shells and face are done with color pencils.

I have no idea why I stopped drawing them. It’s pure happiness. I used black and white pens for doodles and borders after I finished with color pencils.
