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

It's a rainy day, here in San Francisco, so I'm going with bright hot pink inks in today's #inkyDays drawing.

#ink #drawing #art #generative

Another grey and rainy day, and I'm not really mustering up any bright colors today.

I did manage to finish a bigger drawing today. So there's that.

Playing with these shapes as discontinuous entities, in today's #inkyDays drawing.

Here's a work-in-progress photo.

Today's drawing has a pattern I'd love to explore on a larger scale. I can't help but think about Sea-slugs when I draw these.

Today's #inkyDays drawing is inspired by a band. I couldn't resist this!

Yes, I've circle-packed faces in a very crowded house.

#ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #music

Today, I'm thinking about lots of little houses on rolling hills.

And that's a wrap for this week of daily #inkyDays drawings.

Playing with blending colors and gradients in today's #inkyDays drawing.

Here's a work-in-progress photo.

As usual, the finished drawing is now posted for my supporters on Ko-fi and Patreon.

Going cellular in today's #inkyDays drawing. I went to a little overboard with the ribosomes in the finished drawing.

Here's a work-in-progress photo, before I added the Ribosomes to the ER.

Playing with a fun simple tessellation in today's #inkyDays drawing.

Here's an in-progress photo.

Working on today's drawing, I was thinking about roots and nerves and moving molecules around.

#ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #SciArt

Experimenting with drawing bees today. I don't want them to be too realistic, but also not too abstract. Still haven't gotten the wings right. It's work in progress.

Today, I've drawn an abstract sunflower for Mothers day.

And that wraps up this week of daily hand drawn Generative art. They're now all posted for my supporters on Ko-fi and Patreon:

Experimenting again with an abstract bee motif today.

These are a work-in-progress, intentionally abstract, and not illustrations.

#inkyDays #ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #bees #wip

Returning to a simpler, and more familiar, motif for today's drawing.

Some squirmy worms for today's #inkyDays drawing.

Here's a work in progress photo.

#ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #wip

More squirmy worm-ies, but this time in brighter colors.

#inkyDays #ink #drawing #art

All those squirmy worms got me thinking about weaving textiles for today's #inkyDays drawing.

Here's an in-progress photo.

#ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #wip

Today, I wanted to play with bringing back the squirmy worms...and weave them as a loose textile. Here's a work-in-progress photo.

@kristinHenry Lovely :) remember bees have two pairs of wings, like this: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/158273763
Mining Bees (Genus Andrena)

Mining Bees from Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Cambridge, England, GB on April 30, 2023 at 05:37 PM by Albert Cardona. Rarely does a bee show its four wings, yet this one did.

iNaturalist

@albertcardona just curious, but did you see the part where I said was going abstract and not too realistic? This is art, not illustration.

I get that this one is closer to your specialty, and you miss the accuracy.

I also draw cell organelles in abstract and not exactly how they look through an electron microscope.

@kristinHenry Sorry, I understood by abstract that no bee in particular is being drawn, but doesn’t mean they couldn’t be anatomically accurate—also, the number of wings is a major distinguishing feature between bees and flies.

@albertcardona I get that. I think that you just didn't get what I was working on.

In this particular *experimental* abstract drawing, I'm aiming for a hint of the wings as well as movement.

Bear in mind that each 'bee' is smaller than a dime.

I have, indeed, looked into what bees actually look like.

I'm working on the abstraction.

@kristinHenry Thank you, indeed, the wings look like the triangle that is the sum of all the front and back wing strokes.
@kristinHenry Getting "grab all the serotonin you can, people!" vibes here...
@wcbdata It's hard to see in the photo, but there are two different 'molecules' and branches. one is blue and one teal.
@kristinHenry Not sure if you ever watched the tv show called 'Weeds', but this instantly reminded me of the theme song/opening segment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3_ug-IGBJY

@kristinHenry so funny. When it’s grey I have a hard time painting bright!
@gretared sometimes the rain sends me into blues and browns. but sometimes, it sends me to bright colors. I guess I'm feeling a bit contrary today?
