Almost Complete - Sketch from 2013
This one is almost finished. I think.
I present to you a simple abstract ink sketch. I started it in 2013 then forgot about it for about four years.
After finding the book recently, I decided to give completion a shot.
In my opinion, this thing is very chaotic! But there's a soothing or playful feel to the colors, so the composition is in relative harmony.
How do you like it?
Lets take a glimpse at its evolution:
As it was the day I found it. Looks like the start of something cool, but needs more-more-more.
I finished the penciling and completed the outline with Micron marker pens of differing size. Then I started putting down the lightest colors using the ZIG® Kuretake watercolor markers I've mentioned in previous posts.
Using a mechanical pencil, I marked where I wanted to keep the brightest highlights so I would remember not to color them in yet.
I also added some more intense hues and played with the under-colors. (This is my first full-page drawing using the watercolor markers.)
By this point I had determined what colors I wanted in which areas. I started layering on more hues in an effort to achieve greater depth and interest.
The paper in this sketchbook doesn't allow for actual color blending, but layers work pretty well.
This is the current state. It seems mostly complete, save for the remaining non-highlight white paper still showing and a little more detail here and there.
I've enjoyed working on this little side project. Thanks for stopping by to have a look!

Really amazing work!
Thank you kindly! :D
Chaotic, perhaps. But in a good way. It's very interesting, I like it. I'm glad you found that book and finished it off.
And I am glad you shared your opinion :D
There's a lot of history behind this particular sketchbook of mine (not all so happy) and it makes me feel really satisfied to add some positive energy into something that was really negative at one time.
Thanks again, take care @naquoya :D
