Doodle #1

[morgan_dhu]

This doodle was done without any conscious thinking about form - and when I start out in that way, my doodles tend to be organic and full of curving lines. I did decide on a basic colour palette before hand, of browns and dark reds, but as the doodle evolved, it demanded some highlights of pink, orange and purple. I think it may be relevant that I recently re-read John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids.

I immediately thought of ovaries and menstruation when I saw this. Very evocative.

Especially with my abstract stuff, it's always interesting to hear what other people see in it. Because none of this was there consciously when I drew it, but everyone who commented sees something female and reproductive when they look at it.

Cool.
