Random patterns

I enjoy drawing patterns.  Some will be random - pick a spot on the page, put the pen to the surface, and begin drawing with nothing particular in mind. 

At other times I may set limits such as lines and circles only, or create patterns using an object and its variations.

In this first one, I limited the kinds of shapes:

Circles Squares Triangles (pigment ink, Sharpie pens)

In the next one, leaf shapes:

Leaves (pigment ink, Copic markers)

I find drawing patterns allows the busy-ness in my brain to recede and I settle into a calmer place :-)
