I guess the last few days have built up to a more is more drawing.

I enjoyed making the many layers of this image. Using more of the technique that i use in my non digital drawings — many layers using each to obliterate or obscure the layer below. Letting marks peek out between the spaces.

Another set of brushes and a refinement of the color palette.

I used some new patterns to create a new marks from familiar gestures.

I found these marks to be different than I had anticipated. They created different patterns with each small change. This was really good fun and didn't happen quite as fast as the final drawing appears.

Testing variations on my new brushes.

Pretty crazy some of these marks. Still loving every minute of doing a drawing a day.

Using some of the same marks that I have added to my toolkit.

I've also started creating my own color palette. Moving beyond the default swatches. Moving to a set of colors that I can use for a whole series of images before needing to change.

In my last drawing I made a new tool that created a whole different mark. I embraced that new tool and made this drawing. Experimenting with a few more marks and keeping the palette limited.

Making some new drawing implements. Great new marks.

Going back to less in this drawing. Trying to be more spontaneous. No thinking. Just remembering to breathe as I make each mark. It felt wonderful to make this one.

A more is more approach.

Actually wanted to get back to doing some more pencil scribbling. Tried it out and this is the first result. I've already started a new one using the same set of tools.

A ball of energy floating in space. Another adventure in leaving white space.

A bit of a deviation. Some new marks and open space. Looking at how constellations can be joined.
