Using the techniques in my blog post How to make inksplats, I make a smudge of ink on a piece of paper, and then hit it with a blast or two of compressed air to make long spindly drips. After it's dried, I rotate the page until I get an idea, then I draw something on top of that inksplat.
This little viewer lets you see some of my starting inksplats and the pictures I drew from them. Click in the main window to turn the splat into the picture, or vice-versa. Click the buttons below to choose different splats. Click on the arrows to scroll to another set of splats.
