About me

I like to draw colorful designs without letting lines overlap! So in my drawings the background lines were actually drawn last, though they look like they were drawn first.

    Yoko drew the five pairs of little dotted V shapes and I drew the yellow drop shapes around them.

    One yellow drop got a bad case of the flat sides, so I accentuated it with a larger line of green dots, and a hint of larger yellow drops.

    The green... continue reading (0, 1 image)
