Fox "tangle" based on Ben Kwok's template |
Unlike my first attempt at one of the templates I consulted several ZenTangle patterns to give some structure to my animal. (ZenTangle Patterns is a neat place to expand your doodling horizions! My fox certainly doesn't fit ZenTangle guidelines, but there is something soothing in giving structure and direction to ones doodles) For this fox I used three different ballpoint pens. My pen hoarding habit paid off with two different shades of orange, and a brown ballpoint pen. I was also pretty pumped to use my shiny new gold gel pen! The colors survived the scan well but they haven't printed well. The printing is a bummer since I want to send a print as a card to the aforementioned fox-loving friend, but then again a less vibrant fox isn't so bad.
Last month I made desktop calendar with hummingbird sketches I'd done, but I hadn't come up with anything for this month yet. I had photoshop open for another project and came up with a fox desktop calendar for October that I'm pretty excited about. Finished, it's 1280X800 (perfect for a 13" laptop). If you'd like to use it for your own, you can download a full-sized version here. Use it on your desktop, you blog background, etc but please give me credit and don't sell or otherwise use it for profit.
