Minimal.
Code-like.
I decided to let rhythm rule the drawing. Nothing but drawing small circles, left to right. Top to bottom.
You can almost hear each circle being drawn.

I often draw many loops to loosen up before I draw.
In this case I decided to harness that energy. Here I put all of those loops to work on top of a loose gride and transparent layers of color.
I loved making this drawing.

This drawing is so different when you see it larger than on the iPhone. It has inspired me to work on using some more textures to encourage a push/pull with the elements.

An indulgence.
Drawing round and round.

I wanted to combine the organic shapes and distinctive repetitive marks.
Many of these marks are from a familiar vocabulary. It’s another effort to see how I can make familiar marks with this set of tools. It took me six months to have a command of the tools to do this.
Now I’m begining to understand how to command the medium more.

I decided to combine some soft marks with some very fine lines that feel like hard pencils.
These are forms that I am quite fond of — here I’ve had the pleasure of starting with soft spreading marks and then defining the space with the wire like scratches.
This is leading me in some new directions too.

Back to some more familiar marks since I started making these #drawingaday pieces.
This drawing is getting back to more experiments that resemble my colored pencil drawings.
This is a bit like a sampler.

Another experiment with organic forms that are soft and smudged.
Again here I’m investigating these marks that feel relaxed and basic repitition. This is another of my drawings that is more like my drawings on paper than an electronic drawing on my iPhone.
Very pleased with the results.

Playing like I’m using my softest of pastels.

Surprise surprise!
This drawing is more like my pastel drawings than any other I have made so far.
It feels soft alot like the chalk has been rubbed around.
I love this for where it is taking me.
