Not too much drawing has been going on. All that filling in with black pen was too much for the existing problem with the wrist – not helped by the fact that I’ve made NINE new collograph plates, and a few books. All that cutting doesn’t help.
Nevertheless, I still love my new book, Drawing with Imagination, so I moved on to the brush I bought in Japan. It’s like a waterbrush, but it comes with grey ink. Much easier to cover ground with, and easier to push around. I just love the grey ink – so soft compared to black. 
I have to do ‘six to ten’ of these tangled ones. The first was in the previous post. So, now I’ve done two with black pen (hurt!!), two with ink brush, and one with Pitt Pen. They also cover the ground more easily than an ordinary pen. The colours still bewilder me though. There’s no pale blue for skies, yet the colours that are available, are in some cases so similar to one another. Don’t they have artist advisors? Of course, I had to get into colour quite quickly. It’s just not me if it’s not colour.
At the same time 
I’m experimenting with writing on my sketchbook pages – any old writing. If you read what I’ve written, it’s not very meaningful. Nevertheless, Danny Gregory says he thinks that his drawings look better with text, and mine do too. See what you think! Compare them with the images in the previous post, without text. I think it’s just a better look.
If I haven’t visited your blog recently, I haven’t been blogging much at all. It’s just too cold in the room where the computer is. That is, unless I put the heater in there, & warm it up, and work at the computer for the whole day. Haven’t had time to do that for a while.
Yesterday was a collograph day – printing, that is. Terrific, again, though I was a bit ambitious this time. At present the collographs are still a bit damp, and being pressed. My next post will no doubt be collographs.
Since I said in my last comment that I do a lot of doodles I don’t think I’ve done one – or anything else, for that matter. I like the look of the text with the drawing but I know I find it hard to allow myself to actually put words on the page. I thought I’d get over that with practice but no, it’s still very hard to do. I particularly like your third drawing, the way it flows around the upright lines.
I’ve been reading here for a while (I think, since I met Barnaclegoose) and just thought I’d say that I, too, love some text in my doodles. And I always start new journals/sketchbooks by taking my pen for a walk.
Oh I agree, it’s really intriguing with the text in there. Reminds me of these jeans I embroidered as a teenager. I had someone offer me $250 for them!
