Love it - what a Fantastic idea to create a 'Warrior' concept for your fiery, fairy women !
Absolutely stoked from yr post ! I just bought some Nibs that I've not tried out yet ♦♦ Now feel inspired to do so.
And I'm glad u mentioned the site 'Befunky.com' for #collage work . Will today go & look at, as I am CURIOUS. So.. what type of collages do u like to Do -- i.e, what materials do u ENJOY USING ??
I Love collages. I have been using the art guide "DRAWING From the Right Side of the Brain". 
Gives me exercises where I have 2 get quite detailed (1 is #Drawing my hand) -- Fun so far; another exercise was an upside-down man... All this to force one t/b in the 'Right frame of Mind' to draw & sketch
Thanks for a fine & UPLIFTING Post, eh... Calligraphy pens are a present my mom got for me years ago. Never really got into using the pens, though; now am feeling more inspired to use them ☻☻
Hey! Fantastic book, my mum learned to draw from that book, it is full of fantastic exercises and techniques. I am so glad that I inspired you to have a go with calligraphy pens, just remember to be patient with them they take a little bit of getting used to,. It's a good idea to find some scrap paper for scribbling and experimenting with them before you attempt your first masterpiece :-) I am sure you will love drawing with them once you get your mojo.
I use the college site (BeFunky) for presenting my photos in groups like I did with the inks and feathers. But I do love making collage as well, though its not something I have done recently, the materials I use are quite extensive perhaps I could make a post on collage work? I love mixed media. I would love to hear about what you like to create with, and will be stopping by and following your blog.
Anyway I am super stoked that you found my post UPLIFTING and Inspiring. I am interested in seeing some of your pen drawings!
