        A friend is doing an exchange of paint swirls with a fellow illustrator and I thought it would be fun :) and she invited me to swap pages with her as well :) The idea is to see what you can make of them

        This was the first page and I worked on the 3 left hand swirls to produce these …

        Fun to do :)

        got to play with the other swirls, 2 more pages of them and my friend’s swirls

        I can have a play in Procreate as well – but these are with paint/cp

            I like this idea. Seems like it could be a good exercise if you really want to paint/draw something, but aren’t sure where to start. I especially like your fish.

                thanks :) it’s a good quick exercise for freeing up and not being precious – and very quick for when you don’t have time for more ‘serious’ work :)

                more ….

                this one made me think of coral and seaweed with a turtle swimming by

                and this one turned into a vase of flowers, drawn into with one of those coloured pencils with 4 colours in the lead, so you never know for sure which colour will draw

                    Yay! This looks like such fun! I like the “not being precious” remark … I worked on something earlier in May and it hasn’t gone the way that my brain was hoping so I’ve been thinking too precious for those items. I need to just let it all go.

                        Great experiments. I particularly like that landscape interpretation.
