This is one of the patterns found in the Esrefoglu Mosque in Beysehir, Turkey from 1297 CE. according to Eric Broug (see: "Islamic Geometric Patterns", E. Broug, 2008, p.37).

I bought a set of 3 Bic multi-color ballpoint pens, a total of 10 colors including black, and a new sketchbook. Playing around with what colors and effects are possible, I'm excited to do more stuff with these pens.
The colors didn't perfectly reproduce between the photo and JPEG compression. But I love how the upper left section is all done with the one dark blue, green, and red pen.
One of my favorite films as a kid! I... actually have an animation cel from it haha. Quick drawing from way back. Drawn and inked traditionally, colored digitally.
