Digital Scratch Art - ZenDoodles

Similar to scratch art, one can produce drawings and even zendoodles and tangles with a similar method using a digital art app.  In my case, Procreate.

First I created a layer with random colors completely covering the layer leaving no white areas.

Then I created another layer on top and filled in with black.

My "scratching" tool is the eraser tool and work my tangles on the black layer.  As I erase, the colors from the layer beneath show through.

Scratch Art without the mess of scraping paint or clay :-)

Christmas Gift from Santa Clare

This is a post I forgot to include for 2017.

The day after Christmas I received a gift from my friend and sister who resides in the UK.  It's called the Cuttlelola which is a motorized stippling pen run off of rechargeable batteries.

My dear friend, Clare, challenged me to work a sketch using this pen before the end of the year.  In selecting a subject, I chose to do some zen doodling but with the stippling technique instead of marker pens.  I had so much fun that I ended up doing two right away.

Then she challenged me to do another but adding color to it.

There are two speeds to the pen and I found I had better control and felt less vibration in my hand using the slower speed.  What would take hours to complete doing this by hand didn't take long at all with this pen.  I love stippling anyways as I find it relaxing and this pen just makes it plain fun.......lol

Zen - Doodling

Just playing around doodling with a few zentangle patterns.

This was worked using Procreate, Apple Pencil, and Ipad Pro.
