Off the cuff pattern exploration. Pure doodling is like meditation where your trying really hard not to think to much about any one thing. There is a period where everything flows and it just happens and then once you lose focus and it becomes a chore. The problem for me was coming back to a half empty page. I really could not recapture the initial feeling I had when I started this page last night, all the doodles from today where a lot different in structure and inspired by my long fascination with ancient signs and symbols. I've also noticed in recent years that the closer I get to finishing a sketchbook the sloppier the the final pages are
in comparison to the beginning of the sketchbook. I really wanted to start a new book for the new year but thought it would be a waste to leave 10-15 pages blank in a sketch book. 2 pages, left time to try and fill them with something good.
