Description
From your world of blue,
You find me in mine,
And smiling, make me smile too. ~ Angela Davies
This is a neurographic inspired drawing of a dolphin done in mixed media, ink and colored pencil. Neurographic drawings help relieve stress from everyday life as you let your pen or brush glide from one side of the page to another and keep adding lines until several intersect. When lines intersect you then round and thicken the intersections to create patterns similar to neurons in the brain. Many tutorials can be found on YouTube on how to do this type of work. This is a soothing form of art therapy and occasionally when you finish the work an image will appear to you that may relate to what you were thinking about during the drawing. These techniques were developed by Pavel Piskarev 2014. I added color and some other effects when finishing the pen and ink drawing. I was surprised to see a blue dolphin smiling at me when I finished this work as if to say, " I am here to help and everything will be ok." I was actually feeling a bit depressed as several people close to me are currently battling cancer and it has been quite hard to deal with all at once. Dolphin symbolism includes help, guidance, and transformation. Dolphins in the wild exhibit signs of compassion and altruism occasionally rescuing drowning or distressed humans. So seeing this little fellow lifted my spirits! Just the effect I was hoping for when starting the drawing!
