Day three hundred and twenty-seven: Finding myself at the iPad with nothing to sketch, and with Thanksgiving recipes on my mind, I started doodling Brussels sprouts from memory. I love drawing on the pad directly with my fingertips because it seems easier to make both fluid and straight lines than with my digital pen. It was delightful to quickly squiggle out their wrinkled, layered leaves. I originally thought the sketch would be black and white, but an experiment adding green made me realize that the color unifies the disconnected lines of each sprout, and makes them more identifiable.
why?
