Mini-Zine: Eyes

The prompt for my International Zine Month 2020: Zine A Day project for Day 9 was Eyes. For me, that meant getting back into the roots of my drawing style. I used to draw eyes all the time. I was a little obsessed with them. They became a large feature in my Faery Wings jewellery project, and it was from there that I started drawing patterns in the first place. Those initial pattern designs were the origins of my illustrative style today, and I owe all of this to my obsession with drawing eyes!

This mini-zine is dedicated to that obsession, as I used my creation time to be purely experimental with my pen and dive straight into the zine and get drawing! I did not make any pencil sketches or plan any of the drawings; I just set to work and let my inspiration tick away as I was drawing.

As I was drawing, I decided that this zine would make a fantastic colouring book, so I left all the pages as black and white line-work - with the exception of the front page, where I added a little colour to be almost like a serving suggestion of what the reader could do with the inside pages!! I hope you will enjoy finding your creativity by colouring in the eyes in this colouring book zine!

This mini-zine is printed in fantastic full colour on a 100gsm satin paperstock to form a mini 8-page folded booklet.

All orders come packaged in biodegradable mailer bags.
