This is my 2nd post of my Sketchbook pages. You can find my first Sketchbook post here.
I doodle while pretending to watch tv at night. I started these freeform sketches as a distraction from chronic back pain, and it works!
Typically I do not draw with a pencil first. If I wanted to draw something more representational or planned I probably would though.
This is a Moleskine sketchbook measuring 5.25′ x 8.25″ (13.3 cm x 21 cm).
I use a variety of black pens including Uniball Signo, Sakura Color’s Micron series, and Pilot V Razor Points in varying point thicknesses.
see you next time…

About these photos:
Step 1: I photographed my sketchbook pages with my iPhone 3
Step 2: Then I converted each image to black & white (on my iPhone) using Camerabag’s “1962” filter. I did this to brighten up the photos, as the Moleskine paper has a yellow cast to it that photographed quite dark in the light that was available.
Step 3: I added a #5 border from the Snapseed iPhone app. This border is actually a pretty close representation of the original paper colour.
This is my 2nd post of my Sketchbook pages.

I love your artwork. If you consider that doodling, though, I’d hate for you to see my ‘doodles’. Even so, if my hand is not moving, my brain isn’t working, thus if I’m talking on the phone, I’m doodling between notes, assuming my conversation is with a client. I usually use my doodles to identify my conversations and in turn, find the note I’m looking for.

I have always doodled with black pens (and while watching TV). But nothing comparable to these. This is art.

Mine never turn out like that. lol! But I do find it very therapeutic. Absolutely has to be black pens. Every room in the house, like yourself, and more in my handbag. 🙂
