For today's card I wanted to keep it simple, and just to do some doodling and coloring.
I drew some lines on my index card with a Pigma Micron pen size 08. I like using this size for a thicker line darker line compared to a ballpoint pen.
Once I had a nice shape, I decided on my color scheme. I went with an analogous color scheme of green and blue colored pencils by Koh-I-Noor. I really like these woodless pencils. They are very smooth and the colors are bright. The only drawback is that they show the texture of the paper. I find that no matter how fine a tip I have on the pencil, or how light the touch, I can't get a solid color.
I know some people want that look when they use colored pencils, but I am usually not one of them, until today. When I started coloring with the blue pencils, I was pleased with the texture coming through. It reminded me of a denim texture. I wanted the green to be more glass like, so I used a colorless blending pencil to smooth out the color. I love how smooth the greens became, they also darkened up a few shades.
The overall vibe of the card is soothing and calming. Reminds me of looking at the ocean.
