Rolling Stamps [72-75], Sketchbook Pages

The green marks above were made with a rolling stamp [no 83], which I then outlined in pen and colured the rest of the page with brush pens.

I've posted a couple of pages from book 15 but this is the first page.

Rolling stamps 72 to 75

The first two are from different parts of the same wallpaper

The bottom two are parts of the same wallpaper too, but the top roller is made from two torn areas of wallpaper.

it doesn't look very safe to sit on, does it?

Separated [IF] and Shape Art

The Illustration Friday challenge is 'separated'

These are separated by an arm's length.

A double challenge as I used a coaster as a shape challenge.

More shape challenges below...

A wheel like shape and triangular shape. I used a rolling stamp for the background.

This one looks like the letter J but was in fact a plastic hook from something I was throwing out.

This shape reminded me of a door, it was a piece of cardboard with a hole in, but I can't remember what it was from.

More Sketchbook Doodles and Texture Plate

More doodles from sketchbook 14

The two above were drawn with pens and brush pens, for the one below I used paints as well. I also used a wallpaper texture plate to print to start with. [blue paint]

To make a texture plate simply glue a piece of textured wallpaper to board as shown below. Apply paint and then put your paper on top and press down with a roller to transfer the design. 

This is a print from the texture plate

The Other Side

Today I've chosen two pages from sketchbook 14 and the other sides of these pages to show the bleed thru. I think the backsides are probably more interesting than the 'proper' side. I used promarkers.

Numbers [TAW] and Rolling Stamps 68-71

The Take a Word challenge this week is 'Numbers'.

The numbers I drew in a sketchbook individually, the background was created with a rolling stamp and paint. Then the numbers and background were digitally joined together and altered.

The top two rolling stamps were made from fun foam, etched with something sharp, and the lower two are textured wallpapers.

Flowers in a Jug, Rolling Stamps 62-67

The top three rolling stamps are made from wine bottle stoppers - corks or plastic 

The cork one directly below has not been carved, it is shaped, so I used it as it is.

The three below have been cut from fun foam and stuck on rollers
