Digital swirls and neon whirls

More digital artwork done on Sketchbook app, I can really crank these out! I started this one with an interesting monochrome composition, like an old 19th century diagram, then over-layed modern neon colours.

Using successive layers of textural drawings and varying the focus helped create this festive abstract. Cherries and mint.

Starting with a dark green background, like a slate chalk board, I drew neon lines in a rough grid shape. It was fun to do this one, like playing a video arcade game.

I think I wrote PJD26 in a highly stylized manner, then created a soft pastel effect with stamping and spray paint effects.

One of the stamp tools looks like a spinal column. Juxtaposing primary colours and placing dot and grid stamps completed the effect.

With a dark blue-green (cyan) background, this one used the neon brush set to white. I also applied white glow-stamps to give a sparkle, and dragged some neon blue patterns across horizontally and vertically. Perhaps I can make a few of these for computer screensaver format.
