Hello, my name is Duncan Weller,
and I'm a doodle addict. Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

I am a writer and visual artist specializing in children's books and adult fiction. I show my visual art regularly and make my living as full time artist. Sketching and drawing are a crucial part of my job.

I specialize in book design, cartooning, illustration, painting, pencil drawing, phtography, publishing, storyboards, writing.

Emma holds a mug. I like drawing hands and faces, so why not have them closer together?

Sometimes it's not just the face that make the drawing, but the cloths that fit.

Erinn, a fantastic model, sits on a little podium.

This is a stream of consciousness drawing. Turned out okay.

A self-portrait.

An etching from my university fine art days.

This is a section of a very large drawing. The entire drawing was a massive doodle that could be used in a children's book one day.

This pen and ink drawing is in a poetry book.

I used to do cartoons!

Sketch of girl in Mexico, from a photograph.

This drawing, with a bit of watercolour, was done years ago in North Vancouver during a figure drawing session. Probably 15 - 20 minutes. Watercolour, subtly employed, can have wonderful affects. The challenge of working fast forced me to ditch excess thinking. And it's funny, because at first I thought, "Oh, this is terrible." Then the next day, with fresh eyes, or checking out the drawing in a mirror, I think, "Wow! How did I not see how good this is?" Never throw out your artwork immediately after a drawing session. Give them a few days and look at your work with fresh eyes.

Did this doodle while working at my vendor's booth at the local Country Market.

A fun drawing to do. I usually do a lot of crosshatching, but for this one I went for the smoothness, better to capture the light, I suppose, where crosshatching can be a little distracting. Or look like hair! As some have said.

A sketch of a friend.

An automatic drawing, everything is out of my head with only the briefest idea of a story line. I played around with shapes and lines and shading to see what affect would result. It was fun, but time consuming.

Part of a huge doodle. Started as a doodle while I talked to a friend on the phone. She was one of those non-stop-don't-interupt-me talkers. I got hours of work done while on the phone. It ended up being purchased by our local public gallery for $4,000 bucks. Not bad! And I may use it in a future children's book.

A representative of the United Nations came so speak at Lakehead University years ago and I did this drawing of him.

Did this in a sketchbook for fun - a bit of science fiction.

From a figure drawing session in North Vancouver.

A wonderful model I had two years ago brought the most amazing dresses. This was rather a plain one, but very elegant.
