Azul Ink wasn't trying to create a word just messing around with foam bath soap and this happy mistake occurred. Azul Ink then duly took a photo before the bath was run.

Sketchez: Zany Bird

Azul Ink hopes you enjoy this geometrical sketch.


The original image was drawn using graphite but it has been touched up in Photoshoop using curves. It gives the drawing an ink-drawn quality, whilst adding a bit of colour and character to the background.
