February’s First Doodle

This is a work in progress.  The line art is done and I’m starting to colour it in. I’ve used Chameleon pens so far, though as I progress I may use Copics or Promarkers to fill in some areas.

Today’s doodle

Me and people … it’s kind of a ‘meh’ thing.  I try … and it’s never right.  All the same, here’s today’s doodle, with a kind of fairy/angel person in the middle…

Top 20 Doodle Artist Sites and a coloured Doodlededoo

I had a big surprise earlier today when a facebook tag led me to a list of the top 20 doodle blogs/sites, and I appear on it at number 14!  I’m honoured to be listed alongside such great artists as are in the list.

Here’s the link to the list: http://blog.feedspot.com/doodle_blogs/

I also have used my trusty Copics to colour in one of the doodlededoos shown in the last post.  I think I’m getting a bit bolder in my colour choices. I’m also choosing to use a flat colour in background elements; on marker paper, the ink blends smoothly and seamlessly so large areas can be coloured in without any streakiness.

Doodledoos from 29 Jan 2017

I drew two doodledoos yesterday; no colouring though.

Yesterday’s doodleedoo all coloured

I had a moment of ‘genius’ and printed out the drawing on Winsor and Newton Marker paper.  I checked my printer could take such light-weight paper, and it could, and am I glad it can!

Marker paper makes it so much easier to blend alcohol markers, such as Copic, and it’s very white colour means the marker colours remain luminous.

Today’s doodlededoo!

A little bit different, just a little, but fun all the same!  I’m really going to have to print and colour this one I think!

Coloured doodle-de-doo

Between a couple of ‘meh’ days, busy days with appointments, I’ve managed to colour this particular illustration of mine.

I coloured this one using copics, and the scan has washed some colours out.

Today’s doodle

I’ve had a couple of days busy with other matters and not much time to spend on drawing.  Today, however, I’ve taken the time to relax with pen and paper.  I’m feeling a bit out of sorts today.  I think that’s reflected in the drawing.

Sunday afternoon ‘doodle’

Yes, I know; two doodles in one day. My only decision now is whether or not to colour them and if I do, what media to use!

Sunday morning ‘doodle’

Having fun, but I think I’ll do something a little different later on today.

Oh, I finally got round to figuring out a ‘doodle’ cuttlefish, which makes me quite happy!  The badger also makes an appearance, along with a koala, pig, panda and monkey.  A fairy cat just adds to the whimsy.  My morning mug of tea is there too!
