The dragonflies at yesterday's concert were entrancing. Now I have dragonflies on my brain.
Here is my first attempt at finding the pattern I hope to play with for a while.
I'm starting new posts for this week's #inkyDays drawings. I'll be posting in-progress and finished drawings for my supporters on ko-fi and patreon in these:

Thinking about ants while working on today's #inkyDays drawing.
Experimenting with different color combinations for this dragonfly motif. Yes, I'm having fun with it :)
Playing with this meditative squirmy wormy pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing, and still loving this orange ink.
Playing with fill color in this pattern. The paper isn't playing well with this one. Oh well.
Playing with one of the new inks I picked up in Santa Fe. The paper isn't cooperating well, but it's not too bad.
Here's a work-in-progress shot.
I'm late posting, but I was playing with squiggles and color gradients in today's #inkyDays drawing.
Happy Monday!
It's dark and muggy today, and it makes me think of ants for today's #inkyDays drawing.
New week, so new posts for my supporters. I'll be posting in-progress, finished drawings, and extras in them this week:

I felt the need to draw some dancing starfish for today's #inkyDays drawing. So I did.
Here's a work-in-progress photo of it.
Inspired by kelp while working on today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's a work-in-progress photo.
This motif/shape is so satisfying to draw, and I'm indulging in drawing it again today.

Apparently, I have sea life on the brain this week. Which happens from time to time.
And that's it for this week. All of this week's drawings, both in-progress and finished, are now posted for my supporters on Ko-fi and Patreon in these posts:

My To-Do list is getting really long and busy. Plus, I've got the SF Zine Fest this weekend, and I have no idea how it will go.
Going with a calming pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing.
It still amazes me how much drawing this particular pattern improves my mood. No matter what mood I'm in at the start, it's better when I finish. Drawing, in general does that for me, though.
It's the first day of #SciArtSeptember, so I went with a phospholipid bilayer for today's #inkyDays drawing.
Today's #inkyDays drawing is inspired by diffusion-limited aggregation models, and the metallic pigment floating on top of one of my inks.
I didn't have a lot of time to draw, this morning. So I went with a curvy trail of ants. For some reason, this one looks like a chart to me....and ant chart.
And that's a wrap for this week of #inkyDays. All of this week's drawings are now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi:

Playing with an imaginary shell structure for today's #inkyDays drawing. I can imagine the creature growing from the middle outwards.
Today's #SciArtSeptember prompt is "Understory". My mind goes to the ferns that grow under the redwoods I grew up with. So, I'm playing with a fractal fern pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's a work-in-progress shot. That's the glass dipping pen I draw with, next to my sketchbook.
Today's #SciArtSeptember prompt is "indigo". While working on today's #inkyDays drawing, I was thinking about the Fibonacci sequence, jaqcard loom cards, and early computer punch cards.
I seem to be into growth patterns this week, and I'm wanting a little joy today...so it's dancing starfish for today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's a work-in-progress photo.
And yes, that's the glass dipping pen I draw with, next to my sketchbook.
The prompt for #SciArtSeptember is "heart" today. I went abstract, and was thinking about the heart of a cluster of ants. So, I drew ant motifs in today's #inkyDays drawing.
Playing with some busy bee motifs for today's #inkyDays drawing.
And that's a wrap for this week of daily drawings. All the in-progress and finished drawings are now posted for my supporters in the posts on my Patreon and Ko-fi. I'll be starting new posts tomorrow.

Today's #SciArtSeptember prompt is Carmine, so I'm drawing a squiggly line of red ants for today's #inkyDays drawing.
Ugh, this has been a miserable week so far. I'm still testing negative, thankfully. We're still isolating from each other, and being careful. The pup does not understand. It's frustrating, especially since this wouldn't be happening at all if not for all the anti-mask and anti-vax nonsense.
Here's a work-in-progress photo of today's #inkyDays drawing.
Playing with a few related concepts in today's #inkyDays drawing: voronoi, tree canopies, and map coloring.
Playing with this squirmy growth pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing. The inner line has a blue fill, and the rest of the loops have a teal fill, to give a little more texture to the finished drawing.
Here's a work in progress photo.
Inspiration for today's #inkyDays drawing, came from an abstraction of atomic bonding angles.
And that's a wrap for this week's daily drawings. They're all posted now, for my supporters on Patreon and Kofi:

Didn't realize it, until I was finished with today's drawing, but I've been thinking a lot about nodes disconnecting from a network.
Playing with a branching pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing. The paper didn't cooperate very well, but that's fine. This is just a sketch, after all.
Between having to back out of an art festival because of covid-in-the-house, and the smoky air, I needed to draw something cheerful today.
Thinking about Ukraine, while working on today's #inkyDays drawing.
Going with a delicate branching fractal for today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's a work-in-progress shot.
For today's #inkyDays drawing, inspiration came from some little fungi, of the Aspergillus genus.

Taking yesterday's Aspergillus inspiration, and going more abstract today.

Adding different colors, as if I'm coloring a map, to the pattern in today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's a work-in-progress photo
Busy day, and not a lot of time to think of what to draw. So, drawing a familiar floral pattern today.
Today, I'm thinking about fungi and dandelions while drawing.
Here's a work in progress photo.
Posting later than usual today, as I got completely distracted by drawing and lost track of time. It was lovely.
The #SciArtSeptember prompt for today is "Tale", so I'm going with an abstract illustration for an imaginary tale of a turkey tail mushroom.
Here's a work-in-progress shot.
It's the last day of #SciArtSeptember, and I felt like drawing a cell. The orange ink was calling to me.
Tomorrow is the beginning of #inktober, the challenge that got me started on these daily #inkyDays drawings six years ago.
