Hello, my name is Margaret Langston,
and I'm a doodle addict. Plus

My job is in front of a computer, at home. My passion is in front of a sketchbook, in the evenings. I have been drawing since I was very little, and have studied off and on. Drawing is my way of processing my life. I draw because I must!

I specialize in illustration.

I'm currently doing exercises from DrawABox. Although the header here is: "The Aspiration is just to fill a page. It's not a product. No one has to see it." I will probably end up posting more of these. This is not the same as the graphic journal, which is more about me, my daily activities, etc.

I don't often do the prompts and, when I do, I generally finish them late. They don't always speak to me, but this one did. The ideas are not original, but I'm pretty sure I came up with this maxim last year as a way of encouraging myself.

Graphic Journal 3/1/21 - The Onset of Migraine

This is a rendition of a traditional Buddhist deity. Read the essay that goes with the image here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gbpgx8-zX3ZVJrZanSG24ZGu2VMt6dNWVM34G_R0oW8/edit?usp=sharing

Graphic Journal 012021 - Inauguration Day

Drawing Prompt Submission

I haven't posted for awhile. The only thing I seem to be able to do right now, besides boring traditional student work (does anyone really want to see endless figure studies? I think not) is this weird graphic Journal. It may be the only thing I do for awhile here.

A gift from my husband

I started a graphic journal as homework for a Domestika course. It's really helpful for me. Somehow, it frees me up.

Trying to Learn to Draw Landscapes, as opposed to Trees, as opposed to Clouds

1/3

I'm trying to come up with MY language that clearly communicates to everyone what I see outside. Landscape has always been the hardest for me.

Front yard

The woods in my backyard. This has been a shit year so far, don't cha think? I get a few minutes relief by looking into the dark spaces between sunlit trees. Trying to see the forms. I'm hoping to get better at just that this summer.
