Art alt for: @hardtreads.bsky.social NO AI & NO NFTs Materials: -Wedge nib black markers in a few sizes -A5 sketchbook or cardboard This project started in 2016, and my passion for it rekindled mid 2024 Currently on sketchbook: 23

A vertically, near symetrical, arrangement of straight lines, most are very thick on horizontal and vertical orientation, but there are some smaller thinner lines too. 2 bold horizontal lines at the top, flanked by vertical ones, bellow it a single thick line in the middle flaked by thin vertical ones with many small thin horizontal lines coming off the outer sides, and at the bottom are 3 thick bold vertical lines and the outer ones are flankes by a broken vertical line broken into a medium, large then a very small line. This piece was drawn on cardboard, and the only indication of this is bottom right the medium line end with a slight ridge where the corrugation of the cardboard was deeper and the marker didn't quite reach.
3 lines, one starts top left drawing horizontally and is very thick as it travels down, 2 small bumps drawn, before swooping left and looping back on itself with a squiggle. A very small squiggle line is bottom right. The final line is nestled within the convoluted one, left of it, this line is near straight and vertical starting medium, getting thick then changes between thick and thin very starkly, I've rolled the wedge nib of the marker as I've drawn the line, placing more of the nib on the cardboard and quickly using just the tip edge of the nib to create this effect.
An 'S' shape with the top part of the line ending in zigzags, making the 'S' more like an ear with fluff, a small thin upside down 'L' line and a '3' shape line with a small mark in it. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture causing some slight serration along some edges of lines.
A very bold 'Z' shape, starting in thick straight lines, ending thinner and curlier. This shape is flanked on one side by broken squiggles and straight lines running perpendicular. There is a smaller shape bottom right a thick line tapering in at each end in a curve. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard and you can see the texture in stripes along the marker lines, also causing slight serration along the edges of marker strokes.
A messy collection of squiggly lines, thick and thin, and varying inbetween the two, none of the lines touch. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture causing some pockets of white where the marker has not been pressed hard enough to drawn in the deeper parts of the textured surface.
2 arcs nestled in each other forming semi-circles orientated vertically, and one curve along the bottom in half a curve. The inner arc has a small wiggle on the end. The arc lines are very thick, and very thin straight lines radiate off the top right of the second arc. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture causing serration along the top most and bottom most lines.
3 thick curved lines, one has a very curled spiral on the end, there are thinner lines between and around them, some very short, and one is a zig-zag. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture causing some bristle looking brush strokes in the marker.
A squiggly line that loops and points downwards, 4 straight lines cross over it, and there are clusters of small straight lines near the end of the downwards line, the end flicking over into a loop and sharp turn line. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture causing serration along the bottom edge of the 4 crossing straight lines.
Lines following a curve with a small hooked curl on one end, many thick and thin lines, the thin lines are very undulating and very broken, appearing more as dots and dashes. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard and the texture has caused serration on the edges of the thickest lines.
Lines forming a curved shape, with several short lines between them including some squiggly lines. 3 small lines are outside the curve. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard, texture causing serrated edges on the thickest lines.
A shape that looks like a plant in soil with straight horizontal lines being the soil, there are also dots by the 'petals' which are shapes like a capital 'B' with 5 bumps of varying length, instead of 2. There is another shape on the page, top right, a backwards capital 'B' with 5 even lengthed bumbs instead of 2, some small lines and dots line the upper part of the straight line. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard, though the texture is not visible in the markers lines.
A long swishing line to the left of the page, some straight lines come off the top right side of it, almost forming a shape like a winged staff. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard, the texture causing some slight serration on the long swishing line.
5 very thick vertical lines, getting longer in length, 1 has a small break in it and the furthest right one is very undulating, trailing into a thinner line. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture obvious in the marker lines.
Some 'L' and 'J' shape thick lines crossing over each other, a large squiggle between them, a smaller squiggle top right with small lines surrounding it, and 3 similar straight lines above it. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard and you can really see the texture of it in almost all marker strokes.
A more complex piece, there are 2 curls forming spirals with short lines coming off them. Some straight lines thick and thin, and some lines that are very squiggly and undulating. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard some of the lines have serrated edges due to the texture.
2 lines curling into a swirl and several lines lining the outer side of the curve, in pairs, then thicker individual lines. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture of the cardboard has created a serration in the curved lines.
Mantylines thick and thin alongside each other following the same curved shape, some short straight lines come off 2 lines. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard the texture can be seen represented as little bumps creating a serrated looking edge along some lines.
A collection of many marker strokes on the page, thick curving to thinner, smaller loops, the bottom most line has several shorter straight lines coming off one side. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard and you can see the bumpy texture in some of the sweeping lines.
A very thick straight line which curves around and kinks once before ending, the angling of the marker as the wavy line was drawn catches some of the width of the marker pen creating almost brush like marks in the line. There is thinner wavy lines to the right of the larger line, and some dots and small lines. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard.
One very thick line that tapers very thin suddently , a thinner curved line follows its shape. One side of each line is flanked with small lines in a near uniform distance from each other, 2 small lines are at the bottom. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard, texture not too obvious but causes a small break in the top left corner of the thickest line.
3 very thick lines, top one is long, the middle one tapers off very suddenly into a thin undulating line, and the bottom thick line is short. There is a very thin line that it at the very bottom of the piece that flicks up at the end. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard and you can see the texture in the marker lines.
A think straight line with a small one that sharply curves to line underneath it, a curved squiggly line arcs underneath that, and a single squiggly line of a uniformed thickness is under that, 3 short straight thin lines radiate off it in the corner. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard, the texture can be seen in the marker lines.
A 'G' shape, but it's tilted over backwards, 2 straight lines flank it, there is a small splodge in the bottom right corner. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard.
3 lines, one very curvy, looping around on itself, a deep groove in the corrugated cardboard interupts the line. There is a curved line to the right and a short horizontal line top left.
A collection of very thick lines, very angular, and very small lines. The piece is drawn on cardboard and the texture can be seen in the marker strokes.
A single line drawn into many points from a central focus, but the line trails off. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard.
Lines of several thicknesses drawn diagonally top left to bottom right. This piece is drawn on corrugated cardboard.
An arc, with a smaller curved line underneath, 4 horizontal lines are near the bottom. This piece was drawn onto corrugated cardboard, the texture of which has affect how the lines are drawn (not colouring in part of the line where a trough was deeper due to the corrugation.)
A number of squiggles drawn in arcs raditing out from the bottom left corner, the lines get thicker as they radiate outwards.
2 thick horizontal lines side by side, then 3 thin vertical ones, one turns at a right angle at the bottom, then 4 thin horizontal lines stacked upon each other, decreasing in length.
5 lines, 2 curved and horizontal 3 towards the botttom right of the page the thickness of the lines thin and 2 trail upwards.
4 lines, 2 thick 2 thin, forming a vague 'K'.
A cluster of straight horizontal lines at the top of the page, the lines are very broken and emphasise the texture on the page.
A collection of 3 shapes on the page, one a single squiggly line with some short lines coming of it, one which has a spiral at the centre and some more lines coming of it, the other is more a complex single line with many points, and has several short lines nestled in the single line, and further lines radiating off it.
A curved line, much like a 'C', with various length straight lines, which taper at the end, coming off the top and the bottom curve.
A repetition of a curve and line, each time the curve is more pronounced becoming 2, then 3, then 4 at the bottom.
3 curving lines that curl at the end, one very undulating line above them.
A series of lines with a single dipped curved, each line redrawn below it changes the curve slightly until it goes beyond the page. There are 7 repetitions.
One line that forms 2 points, starting thick and becoming very thin. A small chevron beside it.
A page diagonally split corner to corner with a line, each triangle of the page filled with a single snaking line.
A straight thick horizontal line flanked either side with 2 lines that have peaks and troughs forming very undulating lines.
Many short horizontal lines, varying slightly in length, forming a column down the middle of the page.
A curved line forming a near 90⁰ curve, the outerside is lined with thick lines of varying length.
A single line that curls around and crosses over itself.
A page full of similar repetitions of a curve then a straight line almost like a square root symbol √
A single continuous line of varting thickness which makes a circular shape near the bottom, several small lines nestle in a narrow curve.
An arch with thick and thin lines under it, a short small vertical line atop it.
A thick line on top, 3 thin lines underneath, one is broken, and a shorter thick line at the bottom, many fairly evenly spaced and uniformed vertical lines line the top thick line. The drawing is cental left on the page.
A thin line collection of curves, straight and sqiggly lines in a central right cluster on the page.
2 lines in a backwards 'L', one above the other, and 5 thin horizontal lines next to them, near the tops of the vertical lines.
A wavy line that folds back around on itself with several lines of varying length radiating from the bottom straighter edge of the wavy line.
Many thick horizontal lines across the whole page some lines have breaks in them.
5 diagonal lines, they are wavy and are thinnest in the middle where the thin line break before resuming.
Many large and smaller oval shapes emphasising the texture of the page, and the variation of thickness I can get with the wedge nib marker pen.
A curved line which trails longer down the right side, small lines come off the outside and inside of the curve on the left.
Many repeated similar shapes of some squiggles that loops around left with a long tail ending right.
4 curved lines with small peaks and troughs in them before resuming the curved line.
A long line that has a kink in it and bends backwards, forming a point in a shape that is vaguely triangular. A thick curved line is alongside one side and small lines a placed between this curved line and the large line. 4 lines are inside the large line.
A page very full of many lines, almost all of them amgular and sharp, short lines, thick lines, thin lines, zig-zags, there are dots too, only a few of them are curved.
A curly 'C' with a smaller 'c' and an 'm' nestled in a way to form a cat's (Nüdl) body and sweeping tail, his head and his collar with his bandana on as he sleeps in a ball. A wiggly line underneath him is the cat tower he sleeps on. Cat count: 03
