So once again i rethought the project and decided, a long time ago actually, to do one big piece of paper. but then after thinking about that for a while i thought maybe i should do it in a notebook with a new page for each drawing. Maybe that would make it more linear.

Then at class today you talked about letting the pen seep out into the paper and i thought that this perfectly shows pen time, in a less entertaining but more accurate way. Some possible variations are: using wet/dry paper, the angle of the pen, the color of the pen, the amount of time (but i would probably hold the pen until the ink ran out), or the amount of pages underneath the pen. i like the amount of pages underneath the pen idea...

Also i just want to do the drawings of myself in "pen time" because i think it would be cool even if it doesn't really relate to the project as much. I guess with that project i didn't feel like i was discovering anything about the pen i was just giving an example of what the pen can do. that's why i'm excited about the pen leaking thing; because i really feel like i could learn something from it rather than just express an idea i already have. So i guess i'm doing both projects.
