I’ve been having fun doing some abstract sketches trying out different compositional plans and practicing getting interesting marks using digital brushes. I chose red and green because they are complementary colours and I wouldn’t ordinary choose to put them together. The first picture ended up looking like an underwater scene with its blue background, and I couldn’t decide which way was up.
The next drawing started off with a spiral and ended up with more petal-like shapes. I made a short video showing all the layers of drawing that I used to make the my final image.
For the third composition I tried to keep to horizontal and vertical lines since the other two were primarily made up of curves. This time I actually recorded a time-lapse video of the process.
These have been really fun to do, and hopefully they are also interesting to look at. I’ve got a couple of floral pieces that I’ve finally finished but not shared yet so they will probably feature in my next blog. See you then.
