Thrlth-Thrlngrzth 3

These are all an abstract ink drawings, some with cardstock borders, created in a more or less stream-of-consciousness style. I hadn't taken an art class since junior high school, and I always assumed I was bad at drawing. In fact, I have always struggled with creative endeavors, because at some point I became overly critical and perfectionistic about everything I did. Over the course of the pandemic, I realized that I could draw solely for enjoyment and stop judging my skills against some self-imposed standard.

A colorful abstract ink drawing on a black background. The drawing is divided into three main parts horizontally. The top third is turquoise, with a dark blue circle coming out from the upper left corner and a pointy silver shape on the upper right corner. The top third is speckled with very small white dots that are evocative of stars. The middle third has a tan backdrop with a black skyline that stands out against the turquoise section above. Within the tan section there are detailed drawings of abstract shapes and lines in many colors.

A colorful abstract ink drawing on a white background. At the top center of the piece is a small green circle with a red swirl. Extending out from it to the top right corner is a chain of green rectangles with two hooks on the right corner. Below the circle, fanning out into a curved shape, are several rows of red and green rectangles. On each side of the rows, dark green wing-like shapes with red swirls extend across the piece. The tip of the left wing is attatched to a chain shape that ends with a green and red half-circle in the bottom left corner.
