Today's #inkyDays drawing turned out rather nicely, so I decided to try the pattern on watercolor paper. I just love how the inks interact with the fine paper.

Decided on some dancing bees for today's #inkyDays drawing.

I also tried them, with a different ink, on watercolor paper. I'm not super happy with how they turned out, but they're not horrible.

I liked yesterday's #inkyDays drawing so much that I did one on watercolor paper. I also made some progress on a bigger floral piece. So much drawing today :)

Working on a new drawing on watercolor paper with an abstract floral and network pattern. My drawing is next to my glass dipping pen and ink pallet.

Since I drew a comforting floral pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing, I'm posting one I did on watercolor paper and have listed in my shop.

I liked today's #inkyDays drawing so much that I tried it out on watercolor paper, after some small tests. I've listed it in my Etsy shop, just in case anyone would like it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1712336558/hand-drawn-abstract-floral-network

#introduction

If you follow me here, you might know my daily #inkyDays drawings.

But my roots are in Science Visualization and SciCom.

At heart, I am a Scientist first.

I'm also kind of weird, in that I have two undergraduate degrees. The first in Biological Anthropology and the Second in Biology (with an emphasis in genetics and biochemistry).

I also got a Masters in Computer Science, mid-career, just because I wanted to get better at the mathematics of Data Structures and Algorithms.

I liked how the in-progress photo of today's #inkyDays drawing looked. Only half of the branches filled in.

This gave me an idea to try using two different fill colors in the branches.

It's subtle, but looks great in person with natural light.

I may need to experiment with this more.

I liked today's #inkyDays drawing so much that I decided to try it on watercolor paper, and with some different colors.

Light isn't playing well for photographing, so this is the best I could get for now.

It's not good enough for putting up on my etsy shop. But if you're interested let me know, and I'll make a custom listing for you.

Thinking about a string of thoughts as a string of beads today.

I didn't get around to posting yesterday's drawing here, but it's on my Patreon and Ko-fi:

Playing with another color combination for today's #inkyDays drawing.

And, again, I felt inspired to play with it on watercolor paper in addition to my daily sketchbook drawing.

I liked the results of today's #inkyDays drawing, so I tried it on nice watercolor paper. I'll probably list this one in my etsy shop soon.

I liked how today's #inkyDays drawing turned out, so I decided to try the pattern and ink combo on watercolor paper.

It's a different look, but I'm liking it so far.

Thinking about bubbles and branching trees while working on today's #inkyDays drawing.

Day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar

Today, I'm sharing a work that is currently in progress.

This is hand drawn ink on watercolor paper, and is inspired by one of my daily #inkyDays drawings.

Thinking about more rooms in the pattern I've been playing with over the last few days of #inkyDays drawings.

It's a new month, so I'm starting new posts for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi. I'll be posting this month's in-progress and finished drawings in these posts.

There was finally some good light, and no rain, today and I was able to take some passable photos of my drawings.

I've decided to not do any more in-person events this season, so better photos are essential for listing them in my etsy shop.

I also posted a discount code for my supporters: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hand-drawn-art-92358548

Working on some new micro-zines with my #inkyDays drawings in them. Much appreciation for @alienmelon's Electric Zine Maker. Such a great and fun tool! https://alienmelon.itch.io/electric-zine-maker

I'll be bringing these to the SF Zine Fest, here in San Francisco on Sept 3rd. https://www.sfzinefest.org/

I've been told that my little fish drawings can be calming and peaceful to look at, so I'm sharing one even though I already posted today's #inkyDays drawing.

And, if extra calming would be helpful, I find my data meditation piece very relaxing to watch: https://artatomic.itch.io/data-meditations-an-abstract-koi-pond

It's Monday, so I'm starting new posts for my daily #inkyDays drawings.

Today, I'm playing with a bit of color gradient, starting in the center of these branches. It's very subtle, though.

Here's an in-progress photo

Happy Monday!

I was going to move on to new patterns today, but I really wanted to try this spring green in my calming floral pattern.

I also started a bigger version, on watercolor paper, but its not done yet.

As usual, I'll be posting this week's drawings for my supporters on Ko-fi and Patreon:
