Pen and Ink Series #6: Competing Spirals, LA, 2025

I continue to explore my star line drawing together with spiral lines in this drawing.

I may have hit a creative block on this theme. While there is probably more to be done with these components, it no longer inspires.

I am working with a larger format (7×10″ rather than the 3.5×5.75″ I used in my Meditation Series sketches) which gives me more area around which to guide my pen point.. But I am having a hard time envisioning a path upon which to set my pen. I don’t want my pen to just wander, I want the feedback from my eyes to guide my hand in a pleasing direction. I find this more and more difficult to achieve.
