FPN's PEN ART GALLERY

[Astronymus]

Thanks. My skills have declined in the last decade or two. I hope I will have the opportunity to sketch more in the following ones.

[Astronymus]

As promised I'll show you my doodles. Even if I'm not sure it's art enough.

 

Some folks consider me strange. => They are right.

 

These doodles are mostly for stress relief for me plus training my hand after the time of many wrist inflammations due to strain. They were made from 2016 to now.

 

When I begin such a doodle I have no plan. All I know is that it will follow some rules how the edges are connected and what angles are allowed. So the doodle would just grow like a crystal. As you can see they also may vary in symmetry - which also might be broken sometimes in favour of other patterns. That's what I call them, "Muster" - "Patterns".

 

I usually do these on 4-5mm squared paper. The last one was made on a thin hexagon isometric 5mm grid. Some are made motley by colored pencils including ones in neon and metallic, markers or just plain ink.

 

Luckily for me I don't "have" to do them much lately. Not so much for you if you enjoy them.

 

I hope you like them. If not, keep scrolling.

This is absolutely fantastic. wow. Very nice!

[Andrew_L]

Incongruent, it's fantastic!

[Astronymus]

Astronymous thank you for sharing your designs with us, I loved them all!

Thanks. As said these are less artistic and more... therapeutical. It's like growing your own simple Zentangle.

Astronymus, I really like your geometric designs. That last snowflake is especially fascinating.

Some more recent plein air sketches.

 

Swapped out a few inks in the palette again. Doyou isn't doing as well as I had been hoping--for such a dark ink, it doesn't leave much dye when evaporated. Definitely replacing it in the next rotation.

 

 

Some neat houses in an older neighbourhood

 

Turkish coffee

Defunct flume of some sort

Wow, this thread has really grown while I was away from FPN!

 

Here is my last one (after a long long while), also cross posted on my Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHi04cjNFW/

Yay, you made it.

 

​This one was selected as representative of the style I like. I'm crazy about kaleidoscopes so all your designs that remind me of them are fantastic and my favorites.

Glad to hear you enjoy it. If I get to make more I'll post them here.
