This blog may need to be retitled if this keeps up. I have been more absorbed in making spirals than gazing at my navel this past week. Maybe it's because the drawings gaze back. Behold!
The right tools make all the difference, and fancy art paper and all my pointy felt pens produced awesome results. The only downside is overlapping an area too much with a marker wets and wears the paper. I didn't have to hold the frame down so hard though as the pens swept along the shapes. Part of it is that I'm a lefty - lefties push the pen against the paper instead of pulling it across like righties. So I swung by a stationary store and bought some Papermate Inkjoy pens. A bag was ridiculously cheap ($1.99!) and they flow so sweetly. I would have killed for these pens as a teenage doodler, because nothing says "Math sucks!!" like "Math sucks!!" written in eight different colours in the margins :-D
I think this one is definitely book cover material:
