Drawesome

This month's [community profile] drawesome challenge is creating art without intent. You're meant to stop thinking and see what happens - which is both hard and easy!

I've got two offerings, though the second did have a purpose so is kind of a cheat.

I did this one first, starting it with a Ohuhu alcohol marker but switching to fountain pen after a few minutes because the way the marker ink was spreading out from the lines was annoying me and defeating the whole not thinking thing.

Then a few days later I was trying to get some sculpture trail designs done, and had an idea about doing a doodle design. So I picked up a Pentel brush pen and doodled this one.
I think I can count it towards this challenge because though the end result has a purpose, the process of just putting brush to paper and seeing what happened was the same.

I think the original automatic drawing idea isn't supposed to end up with anything recognisable but my hand to brain to hand is programmed to make shapes into things so...shrugs.

I don't think that is a hard and fast rule.

I love both of these!
