I usually love challenges and this one is right up my alley. 

 

ID: "Aardvark"
Size: 7"w x 4"h

A funky lettering style using a 6.0 Parallel Pen and various colors of Bister ink on a high quality stationary paper. (Yellow, red, blue & green). When dry, doodled with a white gel pen.

ID: "Bubblegum" 
Size: 6"w x 5"h

I remember chewing these large squares of pink bubblegum when I was a kid. (haven't chewed gum in over 50 years and have no idea if they still exist...)

I'm using Holbein Gouache "Opera" which is a really bright pink. The image had too much mauve in it. It should be a bright almost neon pink...

Blackletter style lettering using a 6.0 Parallel Pen on Super Deluxe Bee Paper. When dry, shadowed with a black Zig Writer and highlighted with a white gel pen.

 

ID: "Cappuccino"
Size: 6.5"w x 4.5"h

I love cappuccinos... so drew a cup using Prisma colored pencils. Wrote in my word in a modern script lettering using a Zebra G nib and Bleed Proof white ink.

ID: Dogsledding
Size: 7"w x 5.5h

Used 2 pencils tapped together to form the letters, then re-drew them with a Zig Writer on Super Deluxe Bee Paper. Loaded them with water and dropped in Calligraphica Crystals (from Russia) "Twilight Blue" #035.

ID: Exceedingly
Size: 4.5"w x 45"h

Drew my center square on Super Deluxe Bee Paper and wrote the letters around it using a 6.0 Parallel pen and Sumi ink. Loaded the center square with water and dropped in Calligraphica Crystals (from Russia) (Twilight Blue #035; Sap Green #033; Champagne #063; and Golden Leaf #060). Used a Prisma colored pencil "True Green" to color in between the letters.

ID: Fluffiness
Size: 5.5"wx 3"h

Used a Zebra G nib and Bleed Proof white ink on a misc black paper.

 

ID: Giggle
Size: 7"w x 6"h

Wet a piece of 140 Arches HP watercolor paper and dropped/sprinkled in various Color Burst powders. Let dry. Drew in the letters and outlined with a Zig Writer. Colored in the spaces with a Prisma colored white pencil.
