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

The new naming convention is: m.d.yyyy.X, so these are 5.13.2008.A-C

Which do you prefer? Why?
If you do your own 3×5 drawing (doesn’t have to be abstract) and email it to me I’ll put [...]
Here is another upside down drawing exercise from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. It took several days to complete this; I kept losing patience with it.
