"all you can do is keep writing." ~ advice from beth revis. illuminated with ink by halthegal. 

today in hallie doodles, may i present this quote from a recent essay ("the taylor swift effect") by beth revis:
"all you can do is keep writing."
you'll find the full post on her patreon here:

(supporting her on patreon is probably the best $5 you can spend any month!!)
my art piece started with a doodle that i transferred at a larger scale to a hot press watercolour paper pad, then filled in with ‪@ferriswheelpress3796‬ inks in the following colours:
* terracotta canyon (you can't see it in the video, but i found a "golden ticket" princess patch limited edition bottle!!)
*spadina rose
*storied blue
*writing desk
and
*brilliant beanstalk
i then came in with some
*bayou berry mist
for depth and shadows on the lettering.
