Top 20 Doodle Artist Sites and a coloured Doodlededoo

Angela PorterLeave a comment

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.

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.

Saturday morning ‘doodle’

I could be accused of enjoying myself way too much!

A pal requested more badgers and more squid … so here they are!

An afternoon doodle

I’ve just spent a few happy hours drawing a piece of ‘doodle art’ after having learned much yesterday from mimicking the style of piccandle.  I’v managed, I think, to make it much more ‘Angela’.  I may have done similar stuff in the past, but not quite like this.

This has a fair number of design elements that are firmly in the realms of ‘Angela’ art.

It’s now been printed on watercolour paper as well as some alcohol marker friendly paper ready for colouring – my next task.

Doodle art

At the weekend, I finished all the illustrations for the upcoming colouring book ‘By the Sea‘, to be one of the titles in the Escapes series from Dover publications.

So, over the last couple of days I’ve been doing other things, some arty, some not.  However, after watching some videos on YouTube by piccandle, I thought I’d have a go at their particular style of doodle art, and this is my homage to them.

I had a lot of fun drawing this I must admit. It’s full size is shy of A4 in size, and I drew it on squared paper, scanned it in, cleaned it up using GiMP, then printed it out ready to colour, most probably with Copics, Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Promarkers.

By the Sea

I’m busy drawing colouring templates for a book entitled By the Sea, one in the ‘Escapes’ range of colouring books from Dover Publications.

When I completed this template, I couldn’t resist printing it and colouring it in.

Winter Wreath Coloured

Angela PorterLeave a comment

The second of the templates I posted yesterday has been coloured.  I went with a cooler colour palette than I would usually choose.

Coloured using Caran D’Ache Luminance pencils and a blending solution was used, which actually brought out the colours beautifully!

I also forgot to mention that these wreaths were drawn in Autodesk Sketchbook on my Microsoft Surface Book.

I know that for most of you it’s a busy time of year.  So, I’d like to share a couple of colouring templates to help calm you, even if it’s for just a few minutes.

Many studies have been done that show colouring to be as relaxing and therapeutic as meditation, even if you do it for just a few minutes!

All I ask is that you don’t share the uncoloured images, and that if you share coloured images you provide a link back to either this page or my facebook page.  Oh, and the images are for personal use only, not for commercial use in any way.

Enjoy!
