So, this is for an advent calendar game thingy... You know how much I love those. XD We have 25 participants, everyone draws 24 inchies (yes, little 1x1 inch drawings) and sends them to our victim organizer, who then builds advent calendars for all of us... With one inchie from each other participant. YAY! (Holy crap, I'm so f*cking glad I don't have to pack those letters!) These are the 24 inchies I drew. The topics are varied because I looked at everyone's profiles to find something that a) they will like, and b) I can actually draw. (Occasionally, that was one small Venn diagram.)

My favorite is, of course, the bog landscape - out of principle. (Yes, someone asked for that. Can do... LOL) I was also surprised that someone requested minerals, because, hey. XD From a purely artistic standpoint, I'm especially happy how the dragonfly and the fern turned out.

I used Staedtler fineliners (different tip sizes), watercolors, Posca white acrylic pen and Sakura white gel pen on KREUL mixed media paper (which is one of the very few "mixed media" papers that actually work for wet media).I don't know why the scan is so blurry - maybe something in the scanner settings.

I'm sloooooowly starting to send out snail mail again. (I took a break from that when I was ill and potentially contagious.) This inchie (yes, that's a little square of 1x1 inch) is for Atlicedrawsstuff who sent me a care package with art supplies that I also haven't seen yet because I've yet to go home to my family. Anyway, I'm sure it's lovely mail! XD

Paper: Vaessen Florence watercolor paper, smooth, 200 g/m² - I'm actually very happy with this paper although it's rather thin and was super cheap, which means it was a really positive surprise to discover it doesn't buckle much when wet. I originally bought it for sketching while traveling, but I may actually use it for more 'serious' artwork as well. It's much better quality than I would have expected, and labeled as acid-free as well, so, YAY.
Watercolors: Winsor&Newton this time. :) Winsor Violet, Permanent Rose, Cadmium-Free Yellow, and Burnt Sienna. I don't use this box very often but technically these paints are perfectly fine.
Acrylic pen: Uni Posca in white. I'm actually not happy with that one. It dries kind of crackly (I don't know how to describe this, but the dried lines are soooo not elastic they crack when you bend the paper), and it's one of the more expensive acrylic pens on the market, while the super-cheap ones (FlySea) I bought in packs of 12 (!) handle much better.

It's kind of embarrassing but I don't have any scissors here, so Atlice will have to cut the painting once she receives it, ahaha. (I'm not going to buy new scissors because, heck, I've done that before when I forgot to pack any, so, uh, I have enough scissors at home. I mean, I do papercuts, so... I have enough scissors. Really.) I'm also sending Atlice some ATC-sized outlines she can color - I guess I'm going to link those when she got them and painted them. I drew everything on the same postcard-sized piece of paper anyway, which at least makes mailing it really uncomplicated.
