My First Kaleidoscope

Tonight I was going to make a digital drawing in Painter and was thinking about using the golden proportions grid, but happened on the kaleidoscope grid instead and decide to try it out. Well, it is amazing! It isn't just a grid; it is a tool. It divides the digital "canvas" into six sections and whatever you draw in one section is mirrored in all six -- just like the kaleidoscope we all had as kids. So I started drawing, experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. This little digital drawing is the result. Warning: drawing in kaleidoscope mode is addictive.
