It's Snail Mail Saturday! 🐌✉💗
(I just HAD to do brush on an envie!)
Used an old Pentel brush pen and white gouache. Was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out (yay!), as I struggle with the opacity of white inks. (Before pic below.)
Wanted to add color, so I used metallic watercolors for the snail's shell, then went over with neon color pencils. Used bright ones for in-between her name. Kinda wish I used diff. colors, as I always gravitate to neons and rainbow.
(also, did you notice the little envie the snail is toting along?) 😄😉
Got lucky with how both the snail and her named turned out.
I don't like to use non-waterproof inks on env.'s b/c of the chance of smears, but had to use gouache, as using acrylic or India ink may ruin the brush. (Also, I touched up the N & B by outlining with white acrylic ink.)
Insert:
Doesn't really go with the snail theme, but goes with the brush lettering! Am debating whether or not to add color.
(And my sketches!)
