Black Pen Art Journal Page

What do you do when you want to create an art journal page but only have a black pen? Black Pen Art Journal Page! I was out of the house and found my art journal in my purse. Apparently I forgot it there after a creative get together with some friends. So here I was with some time on my hands and only a black pen to work with. So I challenged myself to create a Black Pen Art Journal Page.

It wasn't easy to imagine a page with out any color or mediums. Every idea I had for an art journal page ended up with gesso, paints or something like that. But I didn't have any of those. Only a black pen. So I decided to draw my two favorite things: the sea and the rain. And this is what I came up with.

I couldn't resist adding some color so once I got home I added just a little color with color pencils. Very subtle color in order not to ruin the black and white effect. How would you create a Black Pen Art Journal Page? Share your ideas in the comments.
