1. For my first project I would like to create some Zentangle / Doodle designs. I will be using cardstock paper and sharpies.
2. I am interested in practicing this style of art. My goals for this project would be to take my time drawing so my designs are nice and smooth. I also want to work on balancing black and white ink within the paper space and include "form" within the design. I plan to incorporate some more difficult patterns / designs than I have previously used building on my skill set in this area. To get better at this process I will practice drawing smaller doodles to see what kinds of designs and textures work well with each other. I am confident that if I practice making marks and coming up with texture samplers, that my final drawing or drawings will turn out quite nice.
3. I will be creative with this drawing incorporating several layers within the final drawing and coming up with a totally different drawing than pictured. I like some of the designs within this piece, however I plan to do something with circles / spheres adding 3D form.
4. I have also spent a great deal of time researching and finding some designs that will help me with my project. This example has been useful in helping me draw doodles more 3D like and I really like how the artist added color to the center blob like form.
I have pinned lots of great ideas of inspiration on these Pinterest pages:
