I Love Gelly Roll Gel Pens

I haven't touched a gel-pen in over twenty years. I bought 68 pens of varies colors the other day, to get my money's worth you will be seeing a lot of gel pen drawings...hahaha

11x 14 Black Sketch Paper and Sakura Gelly Roll Pens

I decided to do a series of butterfly line drawings with my new gel pens. I'm keeping the drawing simple, butterflies and flowers are perfect.

I blended the colors on the butterfly and outlined the flowers in opaque white gel pens. The leaves and flowers I outlined with varies colors, keeping everything simple. I added a pink transparent color on top of the white because the black absorbs all colors. I had to do this with all the transparent colors; it's true, black absorbs all colors.

I used white charcoal pencil and drew simple outlines. The charcoal is easily rubbed away once the subjects are outlined, so simple and fun!
