Ink blot experiments

[Shoe]

Hey folks. Its been a while. I was inspired to do more abstract work towards the end of this last semester. I started playing with ink and rubbing alcohol on acetate. It does some wierd stuff and is a quick way to generate you shapes when you are stuck.

Here are the first couple.

This is one I went back into with a blade, much like a scratchboard.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't messed with watercolour in a long while. Its one of my favorites.

I took that last image a bit further, playing with color and compositing.
