Nice doodling dood :)
Made me think about how they would look printed onto some kind of film and placed on glass windows and such.
Nice.

Thank You!
I've wondered about printing them on 3'x4' scale on plastic and having them back lit, never really happened though. As far as being a "doodle" goes they are done in pen and ink in my journal. Every so often I have an urge to create one. I don't really consider them art, mainly because they were just test pieces for a movie I once had in my head, color schemes and patterns, and they eventually just evolved due to the perfectionist "I" who pops up. There really isn't a point to them any more, mainly just a vestigial spark of what creativity used to be there. Months later I can look at them and appreciate them, but during the months it takes to create them, I can't say I'm entirely appreciative of the process. In some ways its an interesting process because it gives me a chance to examine my fears of imperfection, sitting there staring for hours planning patterns and colors and fretting about balance of chaos juxtaposing order. I can hear the voice in my head saying "stop it", "yeah but", funny really. I also believe in obeying the Muse when she comes a knocking. As long as they keep coming I will keep drawing.

Nice doodling. Don't worry so much about calling them "doodles". It's your mind wondering in uncharted territory and that's good. Maybe sometime you can have large scale transparencies made to get that sense of light luminosity shining through them. That would be fantastic. Do more. They look fun to make.

It's already beautiful, Wunjo, but now I'm imagining it as a stained glass window! Thanks for sharing! :)Wunjo said:
That's pretty impressive "doodling." :)

Dear Wunjo, what size do you work at? And is it digital or hand drawn, may I ask? It's really intriguing.

Hello,
As far as the medium goes I start with pencil, trace my lines in ink and then use marker and poster paint for the color and black areas. I do them in my journal so they vary in size, getting larger as my journals do. They started out as 8.5*11, then 11*14, and now I’m up to a 14*17 journal. They started out as test pieces, as my intent was to replicate the patterns in my 3d programs and animate them. Never really happened so I just kept “doodling”. Actually the large size journal is really cumbersome to write in so I might be dropping the size back down again even though its been nice to doodle in a larger format. Thank you for the compliments!

Wunjo, Your patience and perfection pay off with a wonderful balance of shapes, colors and movement! Amazing work and thanks for sharing it!

Wunjo, There's an artist whose work you probably would be very thrilled with and he is Arnaud Loumeau. Google the visuals. Best wishes.
