rainbow gel pens--3 sketches

These gel pens that change color (5 colors in each pen) are great fun. These 3 sketches show how the colors progressed in one pen.

Mostly purple, blue added later after it appeared during the next sketch.














Started with purple, then it switched to blue.

Last bit of blue, then it switched to green, then orange.

There's no going back to a previous color, so the only direction is onward to use what appears, trying to make it work.

a clown on hold

I was on hold on the phone with a company, so grabbed a gel pen and drew the clown.

The pen was blobby, so I could turn that ink into washed shadows.

first step, and painting in

Pondering how to color this, I decided to do a Gimp flat-color fillin.
