How about Ecoprint Pages for Doodling?

Reverse Coloring on Ecoprinted Papers

Recently, I’ve read about reverse coloring books. Author Kendra Norton has compiled coloring pages into her “Reverse Coloring Book” that is available for sale.

The premise is that the pages are covered with lots of color with the intent of having the reader doodle or sketch lines on the color using a black pen. Instead of coloring in the black lines like a regular coloring book, the reader draws or doodles the shapes with black pen on the colored page.

I thought this was a cool concept and would be a great way to mindlessly doodle and be creative at the same time.

But I need to change it up a bit.

I have a lot of ecoprinted pages. A big bunch of them.

I would love to do something creative with them since each one of them is an original.

Here’s what I came up with:

I scanned an ecoprinted paper to my computer.

I opened my ipad and uploaded the scan in Procreate.

I drew outlined the leaves, stems, and vines with white, and adjusted the color.

Then printed it out.

I use a couple of monoline pens sizes, .05 and .07.

Here’s the result. I think the faster I doodle, the better I like the outcome.
