Tuxedo Tears – With Cadent

Here’s a line-weave doodle project I created not too long ago using red ink. In the end the two large tear drop shapes at either end is what stood out in my mind. They look like the front of a tuxedo to me for some reason. Hence the name of the piece. This...

How to Draw My Tangle Pattern – Braces

Doodles from the Past
