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.

An abstract ink drawing on a tan background. In the center of the piece, going from the top to the bottom, are several wavy orange lines. On top of these lines are black markings, lines, and shapes, more geometric and less fluid than the orange lines, that extend out to the edges of the page.
