Today I blended acrylic inks directly on the index card and after letting it dry I splattered more acrylic ink on. I'm happy with how the background looks. I penciled in my whimsical bird and outlined it with a white Uniball pen. I have a love/hate relationship with that pen! I love how white lines look against a bright or dark background, but I can't seem to get a pen that doesn't clog, skip or dry out. So my lines did not come out beautifully smooth. And, I didn't like having my bird transparent, either. I colored within the bird with more acrylic inks to give it more weight against the background and then went over the white lines again to clean them up. I like where I was going with this idea, but didn't like the execution. I didn't even draw my birdie the same way. And my lettering...well...if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Even if you are speaking of yourself! I'll be trying this idea again.
