Illustration Friday: Equipment

Most days I find the only equipment I need is a good attitude.
Especially when my raven friend messes up my hair garland!

Happy Weekend my friends!


paper bag, pencil, colored pencils, white ink, glaze, and acrylic paint.
(I spilled something on her face and then smudged it when I tried to save it. Oh well, here she is.)

  18. Lolo,
    i LOVE your drawing,it's so beautiful! i had no idea artists did this,using paperbags for illustrating. i am not an artist, but i've been drawing on paperbags since highschool, just doodling. i recently showed one i did (and one last year) which made me really nervous to do (show).
    anyway, yours is so lovely really. i am really inspired.
    ♥ lori
