Loose Flakes

When it gets too cold for water, the droplets turn to frozen flakes called snow. The flakes are intricate designs to themselves only we see them as white bits fluttering to earth. This sketch shows hints of these designs.

I doodled these while listening to talk radio one afternoon before I fell asleep. Why did I not do white flakes? Because it was easier to use the colored pens I had available. I woke up, and continued inking in the snowflakes using Prismacolor pens then applied a colorful, wet wash to the background. This is the closest to snow I will get this winter. Ink and watercolor.
