"Neurology" and "Neurology, Detail" markers. 4 hrs. (16 in by 20 in) 

This piece was a practice of pointillism. I made the black and white skull the focus of an abstract design, which was inspired by photos of neurons under a microscope. The colors were also taken from that image. I purposely left the right side of the image mostly blank because I wanted to create the idea that the tendrils were extending outward. The black and white of the skull was done to contrast against the brightness of the background. The most difficult part of this piece was capturing the dark shadows, while the easiest was working on the tendrils.
