All of the coloring pages within this book are completely hand drawn. Done in ink, on paper and, in nearly all cases, directly inked with no preliminary sketching done. I did not use any digital drawing processes at all when creating these images except for the clean up stage where I corrected noogies (my word for mistakes or a slip of the pen.) You can even see progress videos as I drew many of the designs on my Facebook page at Facebook.com/ColoringLifeHappy.

What does this mean? It means that these are not perfect, and they're not meant to be. Nothing hand-drawn is perfect and it shouldn't be. The whole point of not using digital drawing tools is to leave in the charm of the artist's imperfections and, at the same time, including a little piece of the artist's soul.

I can, and do, create art completely digitally, I did for years professionally. Which is why I wanted to get the pen and the paper back in my hands again and sit down and draw the way I was taught to draw. For me, personally, it is tremendously satisfying to have that physical contact with my art tools again. These drawings have given me many hours of artistic pleasure after having been separated from my art by bits and bytes for many years. I hope they bring equal measure of joy to you.

I love drawing eyes and faces but not JUST eyes and faces. Heck, I just like to draw, but it's always more fun if I can let my imagination run loose and that is what I did with these drawings. I used what I call a direct inking process, no preconceived idea or design. Starting with the eyes and part of a face, I then let the drawing tell me what it wanted to be and, with pen in hand, happily followed along. If you are surprised by these designs, imagine my surprise at what ended up on my sketch pad at the end of an illustration session. It was great fun to see my menagerie grow as I created the book and I hope you have as much fun coloring the images as I did creating them.

Zentangle Style Zendoodle Fantasy Bird Art Coloring Book Illustration

Here's a video of one of my new zendoodle drawings for my next coloring book. This new book is all drawings of partial women's faces that morph into other things, in this case it turned into a fantasy bird.
I love drawing faces, in particular I love doing eyes because you can say a lot about a mood or persons expression with just the way the eye is drawn.
It's a zentangle style "zendoodle" that I create by inking the original directly onto the paper without doing an initial sketch. I draw the eyes first then allow the drawing to happen organically, letting the drawing "become what it wants to be". This is a thoroughly enjoyable intuitive illustrating process that really puts me in a zen-like mood and I am doing the whole coloring book this way.

I'm hoping to have the book - the working title at this point is "Through The Eyes of an Artist Zendoodle Fantasy Coloring Book" - is illustrated, formatted and published on Amazon by the middle of May!

New Feathered Lady Coloring Book Art

While everyone else was busy hunting for Easter eggs, I was busy hand drawing new art for my next coloring book this last weekend. This is hand drawn directly with ink, no sketching beforehand. I'm doing a series of women's faces that morph into other things and I like the drawing to become what it wants to become. I usually start with the eye area and go from there and let the drawing flow as I work on it. This lady decided she wanted to become feathers.  This is my form of relaxing art therapy! Instead of having to work from a plan and restricting my imagination, this direct inking process allows my creativity to flow directly from my subconscious and it's amazing what drawings I get out of this. Here's samples of some others I've done for this next coloring book using this process:
