Facelift

Hello there,
It's not that I haven't been drawing, it's just that I moved and don't have a scanner hooked up now so I haven't posted much. But I can take photos of my drawings with my digital camera, and we are back in business. So I gave my page a facelift with a new banner. I think a lot of people are looking for Halloween inspiration so I'll see what I can do about that. Leave comments, and share you own drawing blogs in the comment section so we can have show and tell. Thanks for coming by.

Friday and Saturday's Doodles

I just scanned Friday and Saturday's Doodles. Where does the time go?

Saturday's Doodle '4 Stars'

Friday's Doodle

This was another Lab from my Drawing book by Carla Sonheim.  I believe it's called Doodling on Steroids.  You pick 10 or 12 different drawing utensils and keep drawing until the paper is full.  Finally my sketchbooks are starting to look like the ones I've admired all these years.

Drawing Tools Used:
Black Sharpie
Old Green Felt Marker
Red and Purple Prismacolor Pencils
Silver Metallic Marker
Pencil
Blue Ballpoint Pen
Gold glitter gel pen (clear with gold flecks)
White gel pen
Double pointed green Sharpie marker

Doodle 7 and 8 of 365

Trying out interesting shapes for a painting I'm doing today and tomorrow.

One of the men I was watching on a cam.  He ignored me completely but at least I got a drawing out of it.

When Drawing Grows Up

Keep up your doodling. It can lead to bigger and better things. Doodling can lead up to having more skills for art journaling, graphic arts, project designs, fabric printing, and so on.

Here are some A.C.E.O.'s I just made. Try your doodles over some fancy backgrounds and see what you think. Experimenting with mixed media is a lot of fun. You can doodle on erasers with a permanent marker and then carve it into a stamp as I did in the photos. Have fun coming up with new ideas.

These are all watercolor on Bristol paper.

Hand carved stamps that started out as doodles.  Take your doodles to all new levels or just enjoy doodling for it's own enjoyment.

Horse Doodles

Sometimes doodles can lead to bigger and better things. See what I did with the horse doodles I did last night. I'm so glad I found a place to put them other than inside a notebook where no one will ever see them.

My doodle pool on Flickr

I also have a flickr group for doodles here: http://flickr.com/groups/oodlesofdoodles/pool/ It has about 200 members.

The ones I added to the pool are here: http://flickr.com/groups/oodlesofdoodles/pool/96067616@N00/
