Mixed media collage in progress.

Started as the weekly prompt, but I kinda wandered off track. So instead of drawing yin and yang in opposing colors like I sat down to do, the B-Team happened in secondary colors!

Marker, gel pen and digital. Just my own character!

Mixed media (pretty much every type of pen/marker I have is in these somewhere). Recovering from surgery last month, slowly learning to sit upright again, thinking about flowers. :)

Started as a doodle while I was listening to a podcast on the history of gin! Just graphite.
