Paper, Ink and Pen

  Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. Inktober has been created by artist Jake Parker in 2009 because he wanted to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits.   I haven’t done ink drawings in a long

Doodling to Become Zen

  I´m sure many of you did feel just as stressed out over the last holidays as I did. Which if you think of it, is ridiculous really, we should feel happy and excited, like we did when we we´re kids. I mean – it´s the holidays, right? So, to help me get into a

More Summer Companions: Shoes

  Last week I forgot something very important on my list of summer companions – shoes!!!
