This took me quite a while, as you can image. I got rid of a lot of stuff and now I'm ready to redecorate. So, I'm off to Linen and Things before they close.

I find my unleaded sketches look pretty generic--and the other technique has a more personal look---that's my take anyway. It does not take less time for me---if I use color which I definately have the need to do. I also find it fun to research things and learn more about some subject such as snakes or tigers, I never would have, if I hadn't felt I wanted to know more about what I was including in a spread. Like the thrill of the hunt is involved ! The sketch is afoot and so on....

I know what you mean about feeling uncomfortable with sketching in pen. I tend to do my "eyeballed" ink sketches in my smaller, not-so-favorite sketchbook. Still there is a real appeal to the immediacy of an ink sketch.

There are a few benefits I have found; I'm not so precious with my journals since going unleaded and I know I learn more by having to select my lines carefully...most importantly though, I save so much time! <BR/>I'm comfortable and confident working this way now but it has taken time and there have been personal battles with allowing myself room for failure...hell, there still are! LOL!<BR/>Love your pages and thank you so much for your lovely comments, they are much appreciated! :)Anita Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651162546509817976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848284134649356198.post-68989072105879682962008-12-12T16:10:00.000-08:002008-12-12T16:10:00.000-08:00Monette asked why I didn't want to go unleaded--an...Monette asked why I didn't want to go unleaded--and the answer is "The pencil then ink then color technique makes me feel happy doing it, the unleaded, doesn't."
