How to use this Page

They're gorgeous Andrea and I really like the matrix effect.

I'm guessing that drawing small dolls might also be financially worthwhile??? I can think of some small girls who would love drawings like this - and their mums too!

They are really wonderful drawings. It is delightful to see doll drawings that are not creepy.

if there were a "like" button, i'd definitely click it.

I just recently started following your blog and love your work -- so beautiful!

love those dolls -- :) I love your detail and the expressions

AHHHHHHH...the dolls! I LOVE THEM!!!!

I found your site from Pumpkin Delight. I love it. I’m going to poke around a little bit, but don’t worry I’ll put everything back where I found it!!

lovely work!! :D

I think my favourite is the little guitar player... v.cute!

Cheers, my dears.

I think I like the dirty baby is my favourite.

Oh well, there's something else I've got out of my system!

How did you ever capture the texture of the wood? Love it!!!

I would give anything to be able to draw like this, really stunning! The wood effect it done brilliantly :)

Now that I see that you can create even a wood texture with a ball point, I'm off to try some of it myself. Nice pages!

Swoon!

cool!

I like the way your dolls pop in and out of the page.

Love this. will you be selling a print of it on Etsy? I have a set like this, also from Russia, that I got when I was 4 (in 1974) If you will be selling it, I'm very interested. :-)

Superb!

Thanks, folks.

Vicky, I won't get this version made as a print as it is from a journal type sketchbook and, apart from all the written nonsense, it has a gutter down the middle of the page. I have been considering drawing these on some plain white paper, though. I enjoyed the subject, and want to draw them again. So maybe I'll do that with getting it printed in mind.

Cheers, all. I loves ya.

Andrea

I hope you do, I will have to keep an eye out. I love your work, its gorgeous, and very clever.

I have you to thank for introducing me to the wonderful world of etsy, and moleskiens... I have to restrain myself from buying them, until all other art mediums have been exhausted. I'm afraid I'm a bit like a kid in a lolly shop when I enter into art supplies...
:-)

I can see some of the "how did you do it" however I am forever intrigued by the fact that you ALWAYS seem to be using pens which never ever blob.

My pens are fine until just before the end when they announce they would like to give up by starting to blob.

Well, I think it's a load of fun. Wonderful, all of them. You should spray them with some polyurethane.

Nice Job Ink & Mess!
