NaBloPoMo 2016 Day 24
Over the past few months I have been following a Zen Art Challenge on Facebook and have been loving it!! I gives me a little time each day to relax and learn something new. Many days it takes only a few minutes and some days it takes a bit longer if the design is complicated for me. Either way it has been fun! I joined up in September and have been following on a "mostly" daily basis since then. I also backtracked and worked on the ones from previous months too.
I have several supplies that I use for doing my Zentanging:
1. I love my Faber Castell Pitt Pen Set
2. I also love my Sakura 6-Piece Pigma Micron Ink Pen Set
3. And I love my Copic Markers Multiliners
I actually alternate between each of these pens. I like to have the sets with multiple sized tips and use the different ones for different types of drawing and sketching. I also need my ruler, pencil, and eraser to practice and work on the design before I commit to using pen! I make a lot of mistakes, my artwork is far from perfect, and I love it!

NaBloPoMo 2016 Day 5
About a month ago I decided I wanted to play around with a 365 day art/drawing challenge. I knew I would never get started if I waited until January 1st so I though I might as well get started right then and there! I have done this 33 days in a row now and each day post the picture on Instagram under karens365dayartchallenge). I am looking forward to seeing how my art progresses over the year! I also started a 100 day mandala challenge a little while ago. I am not doing them on consecutive days but am scattering them through the rest of the creating over the year. So far I have completed 10 mandalas. I finally got a geometry set and my 10th mandala is actually symmetrical! All the rest have been a bit wonky, I am finding this whole challenge and process to be a lot of fun! It relaxes me and it has let me accept the imperfect - which the majority of my art is :) Here are some pictures of some of my artwork from this challenge:
