100 day project: hands

I do a lot of artwork to honor my hands.

Drawing, calligraphy, finger touches and farmer's walks 

are the ways I work on my flexibility and

range of motion. 

 

Crooked fingers, swollen palms, I still take

joy in creativity. 

 

100 day project: markers and vellum

 Most of the things I have been doing for my 100-day project are 

warm-ups doodle, trinkets for my journal, and sketchbook ideas.

 

 

Sometimes my sketchbook is a spiral notebook, 

and other times it is lightweight paper taken from my printer.

 

 

This time I was curious how these markers perform on vellum.
