Worked on this digitally today! I tried simplifying the shapes and cleaning up the lines. I did remember to flip the canvas this time and used liquify a bit which actually helped! I’m still figuring out what feels right though. Does anything look off or weird?

Curl can be gentle or forceful~ something resting, or something gathering before release. It shows up in nature constantly: leaves, smoke, waves, hair, claws, spirals. Rarely straight, almost always moving. Even time curls~ bringing us back to places, ideas, or versions of ourselves we thought we moved past. How does curl show up for you? Is it soft? Protective? Tense? Transforming? Is it closing in… or beginning to unfurl? Exercises / Prompt: - Create using only curved or flowing lines (no straight edges) - Explore something coiled vs something unfurling - Interpret “curl” through motion, tension, or release - Write or sketch a moment that returned or repeated in your life - Soften something rigid by translating it into curves Let it twist, gather, or release.

I’ve drawn some new ideas that I want to multi-facet it. I plan to make the chibi character as a reactive PNG to use and maybe make a pixelated version of everything. The mouse, keyboard and controller I think it’d be better if it’s more detailed. Some of these can be black and white or colored. Maybe even a repeatable pattern! What do you all think would be a good start?
