February Drawings & Doodles

[radiantfracture]

A local art supply store and print shop had a daily art challenge for the month of February, and so I followed along not quite daily, and I thought (for want of words perhaps) I'd post a few of the sketches. Nothing is very polished.

The challenge had a daily prompt, which I often answered several days late, if at all, and someitmes I did my own daily prompt, which is "How are you feeling?" -- to do with the long poetry project.

Their sample artist narrated a video of herself creating a starry-eyed maiden, confidently informing her listeners that we would see progress even over the course of the month.

Hmm.



We see a lot of my go-to cnidarians here, as they are kind of a "safe" draw.

Day 3-ish: Prompt was "zip"



Day 4thing: Prompt was "bubble"



Day Um: Prompt was "light"



Day XXX: Prompt was... something



Then I start doing a series of scribble / colour-in abstract drawings, with varying success.

Day after Day, Prompt after Prompt



Sometimes you don't know whether you're a dolphin or a tape dispenser.

Day and Prompt: somewhere towards the end



I am very fond of this bird, though the bug didn't come out right.


Day One Million: Prompt was "magic"




And then this one is actually from today, but I liked it, so:

Oh these are so lovely and colorful and wonderfully textured - I want to reach out and touch a lot of them... (Some look to prickly or sting-y!)

I love that response -- thank you!

These are so beautiful. They remind me of the Voynich Manuscript.

Oh man, that's the best reference. Thank you!

I don't care; they're wonderful. They all look alive and individual and you should just tell people the tape dispenser dolphin is a lost Kandinsky.

Thank you. That is lovely to read, particularly on an imperfect day such as this has been.

I love Kandinsky and Miro -- the way the lines and fields are form and script and animal all at once. The way they're brave enough to let the field come loose from its outline and the line converge into an entirely different form, plane, domain.

And stuff.

Please write about visual art more often.
