I drew and colored this on a subway train. Art on an index card. What more could anyone ask for … but I’d much rather draw than fill in a crossword or solve a sudoku puzzle.
This is colored with pencil. I don’t normally use colored pencil much … I find that colored marker creates a more even and precise layer of color. Still, it’s important to experiment with different mediums and discover what they can do for you and it’s just as much fun to work with pencil as with pen. And let’s be honest here … I have mainly worked with pen and ink because that is what has been most conveniently available.
As is often the case, I like the negative of the image better than the original.

That picture reminds me of the surface of a patterned semiconductor wafer with non-uniform etching.
I also like the negative image better as well.

‘Just in case you forgot, my birthday is coming up. I REALLY like this piece (negative image, of course). I REALLY, REALLY like it, especially since my birthday is coming up. Love, Momithew
