Day 1 of practicing (the goal is to draw a picture a day for 30 days). Today I dilly dallied with pen which I don’t normally use. It got a little muddy but I’m glad that I drew and finished it.
The tiny hex cutouts of this canvas were the inspiration for the turtle, and I chose to put it on a beach as the perfect excuse to have more fun with texture medium! Acrylic on custom 4" x 3.5" hexagon canvas.
According to Eric Broug, this is one of the patterns found in the Esrefoglu Mosque in Beysehir, Turkey from 1297 CE. (See: "Islamic Geometric Patterns", E. Broug, 2008, p.37). Now that I have the guide lines in place, up next I'll be erasing them and coloring in the pattern shown here. I think I am going to go with green, blue, purple, and yellow. More to come!
It's an old fanart drawing I did of "Feel Good Inc" by Gorillaz! The small black spots are holes from pinning it to my wall with tacks.
I can't believe I forgot to post this...it's realllly old.
