Description Biro and ink doodle

This is definitely not what I set out to draw, but as I realised I was creating something more dense than usual, I went with it, rather than consigning it to the 'work in progress/most likely to throw away' pile.

I like the way I concentrated the 4 colours in one corner each, but allowed them to spill into each other. Again, not initially intended but it started to go that way so I carried on. However, if I started again with that in mind, I wouldn't have put the red and pink next to each since they are too similar.

I am glad you find it so unique.

Interestingly, I have just started on a red, green and blue one, but I have decided to have very little white space in it, which is obviously a departure from what I normally do.

It is going to take a while, though. I have only covered about 8 square centimeters and that took a few hours. I was going to try to fill an A4 sheet because I imagine the result will be quite mind boggling

In my lowly opinion I prefer this denser style however don't stop making the others because I like those as much but in a different way.

I like this new style too, but recently, I have been trying to replicate it, along with using a predetermined colour scheme (autumn colours) and the results are always bad.

I can't force any of these images, I have to let them create themselves. So I won't be starting or stopping using any particular style, just picking out those images that have that indefinable quality that make them worth sharing.

I know what you mean, you might start with a specific goal but the outcome is not as good because of the lack of spontinaiety. Practice at it though -as an excercise maybe?

That is... insanely busy. Very cool.... it almost seems reminiscient of one of those cartoon fights, where you have a bunch of cartoons in a big cloud of dust and all you see is the occasional eye or fist or whatever....

And then it doesn't.... It's cool, anyway.

Brilliant result man. It's really a fantastic, intertwining mass of detail. And like you said, the way the colours spill into eachother's quadrants works wonderfully.

What is intention, anyway? You used more colors than usual and the result is interesting. It's good to shake things up. Keeps you from becoming a sausage factory.
