Sometimes I find it best to just strip everything back in an illustration, and focus on simple linework. These were great fun to draw, in the style of a study (though they weren't from reference) and arrange some lovely intersecting shapes with the two contrasting line colours.
I often spend hours on illustrations, and they can become overworked - it's good to shake that feeling off with a few loose sketches and to have something finished within a few minutes! Highly recommended little exercise!
Nice linework! The contrasting colors really pop. I agree, quick studies like these are excellent for preventing burnout and exploring form. It reminds me of the simple, fun graphics of Retro bowl , a great way to unwind too! What brushes did you use for these?
