Creativity - Zentangle Papermache Skulls and Boxes

I love the Micron Pens in both Black and Color for drawing on Bristol or other high quality smooth art paper or Cold pressed WC Paper.


I like to play with my Rapidigraph Pens, dip pens and Sharpie Permanent Markers (for drawing on Fabric).


I also like to use the Sharpie Paint Pens to draw on surfaces like wood or papier mache items that were primed with Gesso prior to drawing.

Prime Coated Paints or other paints will ruin the tips of sharpie markers or micron pens, so that's where the paint pens or dip pens comes in.

I like using Sharpie Markers on fabric like T-Shirts, cotton, muslin or linen.

I love using my Rapidograph Pens as well as the Micron Pens when I draw Zentangles. You can color over the black lines with a paint brush pen one the black ink is dried.

I also discovered drawing zentangles using the dip pens with the interchangeable nibs you dip in ink to draw on surfaces that's been primed with gesso. (The primed painted surfaces will ruin a micron pen or a sharpie and maybe clog up a rapidiograph pen) so that's where the dip pens are excellent for this.

I like the permanency in the inks of these pens.
