Here is my first new design of 2016!

I actually got to spend some of my Holiday time off making new art!

This is the first in a series of pen and ink drawings I am working on, using my new Speedball Pen and Ink Set, which I am loving working with by the way.

I just find it so much nicer to draw with than regular pens such as the popular Microns or Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens, plus you don’t have to worry about running out of ink all the time! (a small bit of ink goes a long way)

The quality of line just looks so much smoother with the ink pen, and the final product has more of a fine art quality than you get with the regular pens.

This lion piece reflects some of my earlier Zentangle® inspired artwork, which you can see in the pattern of the lion’s mane.

This drawing looks pretty cool on some of the items in my Society6 store!

Leo Biker Tank $28

Leo iPhone Skin $15

Leo Wall Tapestry $39-$79

I haven’t yet added this design to my Zazzle store, but I plan to very soon.

Stay tuned and follow my blog for more designs in this series!

Cheers,

Julie
