Following on from yesterday’s post about doodling on the Artist Trading Cards here is the second one that I promised you – a little trippy this time with concentric lines and a little space scene in the middle.
Lots of work went into this one. I started out by using a CD ROM to draw the curved lines with a pencil and then inked over these with a Pigma Micron pen.
Unsure of what to doodle in the spaces I decided to just go for it and start in the middle and see what happens.
The “moon” and satellite scene evolved from some pointillism in the central circle and then a couple of random intersecting lines – it’s interesting where my imagination takes me!
I decided to treat the outer area a bit like a log cabin quilt and to mirrror the designs that I was using where possible so that it looked as if I was peering through an aperture (with some fancy shutters!)Anyway, a long time later (not in a galaxy far, far away) I ended up with what you see above – weird and trippy or what?!
There is still one more to show you in this doodle series so please do visit again tomorrow if you can.
