Creativity post 4

 Last blog post I used the creative exercise from a site that offers free sources to help build your line work confidence, this week I will be using the same site but a different exercise. For this weeks exercise the site talked about how chicken scratch lines are a bad habit to form- while the style is one an artist cane use for art pieces, it may ruin your ability to create smooth, strong lines. Typically, when I find myself losing interest in an art piece, I too make the bad habit of going from cohesive lines to scribbles. For the prompt they wanted me to do a series of small simple curves, using a heavy hand to make the lines thick and bold and to avoid using chicken scratch or scribbles.

Personally I thought this offered little to no challenge, and also was to similar to the exercise I did last week, so I took some inspiration from an artist on Tik-Tok, her name is Lizi Phoenix, she uses handmade paper and water color with a long pinstriping brush to create very pleasing patterns in her sketchbook, some are similar to the topographical maps. So I wanted to try my hand at this on my iPad. While my lines were not as neatly packed together as hers, this was a really fun challenge, to both keep my lines smooth and to practice line spacing, by hand.
