Description I drew this ultra low budget abstract piece during a recent trip to China. Since I didn't bring any sketchbooks or quality pens with me to China, I had to settle for cheap small hotel paper and a cheaper ballpoint pen. Imagery is open to interpretation, but I felt a lot of joy, peace, and excitement during my vacation there.

fine lines and funny patterns! For me, it resembles fishbones;D
But it stays softly in its way.

Open to interpretation is the best way. Love that you found whatever you could just to capture your enthusiasm for the place.

Even with your lack of materials your feelings show through this piece. It seems a bit darker in tone than your other pieces, but it works well. I have enjoyed the pattern or design of the eyes in all your work. These however seem to be my favorite for the eyes, maybe because they are darker. The line work flows so well in this. Maybe if your up for a challenge you could try using the same materials again because this looks great XD

Thank you very much. Yes, I think that cheaper materials many times yield more creativity.

This might sound stupid but it gives me the impression of eyes carried away by a river. It's amazing how you managed to get such a great effect of motion with only a ballpoint pen.

Beautiful! Amazing job is all I can say.

By the way which part of China did you visit? I lived in China for eight years because I was studying there, even though I'm from Malaysia. But still after eight years I don't like China haha.
