Doodle : The Big Journey

*

Hello !

*

 Title : Big Journey

Material : Canvas

Size : Huge enough for me

Duration : +2months-

It took quite some time because it was spontanous and large. I knew I want to draw a spaceship/s, I knew I want to doodle something about a journey. So I took the pen and doodled it all the way. There were days when I left it by the wall because I was too uninspired to continue doodling. There were weeks that I ignored it because I was too lazy. 

Two years ago I drew this, it occured to me that my traveling thoughts have never left me. Those journey illustrations were indirectly talking about my dream.

I used several artlines to finish this, probably around 4-6 sized S & M permanent marker. Can you imagine inking the background using small sized marker? Well I've done that :)

What I use to Doodle?

Hello,

As most people would like to know what I use to doodle, I made this post for you.

I spent hundreds for my stationaries over these 2 years *for fun, experimentation and works.

Reminder : 

This post is done to share my liking towards certain kind of product. You need to remember that everyone has different taste and you should explore that in you. This is not an important fact to know before you doodle because you don't need to have certain kind of pen or certain kind of paper exactly the same as I mentioned. Doodling is supposed to be simple and personal :)

1. Artlines 

Usually on paper, I prefer to use Unipin Fine Line. Got several types of size : 0.1- 0.8

Personally I use 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8 because I don't find reasons to use all the sizes in one go.

2. Permanent Marker.

On surface other than paper, I prefer to use Faber Castell permanent marker size S & M.

I've used so many types of permanent marker before, and I think I love this the most. 

I also use Staedler lumocolor on shrink plastic, but I think it is quite hard to find one at art store.

I personally avoid using Sharpie, except on plastic board.

And white board marker on paper is the big NO-NO because over years, it will start to turn brownish. Also, cheap permanent marker also does that. 

3. Mechanical Pencil.

I don't use traditional wooden pencil because the tendency to smear is high and I don't like it when it happens. Been using Pilot for long but some months ago I started to use Pentel because of it is much slimmer. The lead is for sure, Buncho *the best & cheapest of all. 

4. Paint Marker

Oh, I love the color effect of paint marker, but it is so hard to maintain the liquidity. The small sized paint marker tends to clog so often, it's annoying. The big sized paint marker also gives the same effect, you just need to use it frequently I guess.

Personal favorite brand? None.
