My Doodles Unleashed online book tour continues today with a one of my favorite creative companies, Sakura of America. Sprinkled throughout Doodles Unleashed are numerous projects where I use their fabulous pens and markers. I've been a huge fan for years and if you've taken one of my many workshops you've seen me share all my faves.

I love painting with their Koi Travel watercolor set when I art journal with my nieces and when I'm working on the airplane

More of my marker/pen FAVES...their brand new Koi coloring brush pens are great for doodling my monthly graffiti masterboards video {a technique in the book}. Glaze and Soufflé pens are my favorite tools for doodling over my mixed media paintings and journal pages, they create vibrant lines and fun accents to my artwork. To add a touch of sparkle to my paintings, my choice is the Quickie Glue with Crafty Chica ultra fine glitter.

Spend time painting with kids..their creative spirit is inspiring. Let them lead you in your doodle creations. Give them permission to play, sit back and watch the magic they create. Take turns drawing and painting. Don't tell them what to do...let them explore...lead them in a way that is encouraging and playful. Have fun!
In my book I talk about creating a doodle jumpstart jar. I asked each artist to provide a doodle jumpstart, during the online blog tour you can collect the series of doodle cards. right click the image and "save image as".
