Pods.
Today’s monotangle is brought to you by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault . If you don’t know anything about it, you should. You can go an a virtual tour of the vault via your own compter, without even leaving home by clicking here.
The tangle Inapod has always been one of my favorites. I love the way the lines flip back and forth as it is drawn and how the pods emerge as you draw. It can be used at all different sizes as a ribbon, blossom or even a grid fill, as I did here for the frame.
I also love the grey and pink color combination. It has always been one of my favorites. Here, I used Tombow markers to color the pink seeds and a variety of greys to begin the shading of the pods. Then colored pencil was added to add dimension and depth.
