Two abstract 3×5 index card drawings both before and after coloring.

First time I’ve used the color markers to fill in fine lines. Scanning hurts this one, it looks better on paper.

Pssst, want some stereo speakers free abstract index card art?:

Fun project: download the full size version and run it through the Rasterbator to create free, large [...]
