Description I bought a set of Moleskine journals a while ago with the intention to customize them. This the first one. I had planned for something simple, with just black marker and maybe a touch of white but somewhere along the line i got carried away with all that hair...

You can see more views of it here [link] .

So i used a black marker, a 2B and a white pencil and white acrylic on a 9x14 cm plain Moleskine journal.

The journal is sold

your drawing are so amazing! but, a small critique if you dont mind:
ive noticed that you tend to draw the neck a bit longer than what is normal,
and your heads are sometimes too large. just watch out for that, ok?
i make proportional mistakes all the time.

Achen089 In reply to Mary7Joe [2011-09-13 06:45:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for your hint, though the elongated necks are done on purpose. I'm not going for realism but rather for a stylized approach, like Stella Im Hultberg's for example.

With your talent with pencils you can easily do one. I can picture one with this [link] or [link] (and they already have the cardboard's colour/feel ).

Beautiful composition - I've been tempted to try Moleskine but afraid I'll freeze up and just produce inferior works, because I'm nervous

Achen089 In reply to joeyv7 [2011-09-13 06:27:32 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean, i had the same feeling when i started this, especially because you can't have much use of an eraser but in the end i just went with it. It's also the first one i did, so i didn't have high expectations but i had an experimental attitude, which i unfortunatelly rarely have but when i do i'm almost always happy with the result.
