Each mark a reaction to the last. A conversation between intention and accident. Guided by repetition while leaving room for the unexpected turn. Trusting the hand.

In my experience, it works best to maintain at least a 3:1 drawing to thinking ratio. Draw, draw, draw, think. Anything less than that invites analysis paralysis (for me, anyway).

I wonder if constructing a drawing upon different kinds of grid structures will affect the drawing process and results. We shall see. #contemporaryabstract #symmetry #repetition #grid #inkdrawing #aaronolsonreiners

Last steps in the process- erasing the pencil grid.
