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

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.

Just a quick color pencil sketch. I haven't done landscape in a while. It's nice to be outside.

I'm just experimenting with some very old kohinoor woodless colored pencils. It's spring upstate. One is my husband's garage, one is a very sunny spring day on an ATV trail behind my house.

Same garage, different time of day

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

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.

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 3/1/21 - The Onset of Migraine

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.

Color pencil studies all year, from photos. I have no ideas of my own this year. It’s been awhile.

Red Still Life from Google 10/27-29/2021

It's been awhile. I spent last year trying to make color sketches with very cheap old colored pencils. This is the last one I will post. I got better pencils for 2022.

It started with a small black, squaresque shape. The little guy appeared at the end

I saw someone else on Doodle Addicts doing really great bookmarks and I remembered that last winter, when I couldn't seem to do anything else creative, I made a bunch of bookmarks. It's a way of trying out things, and using fun media like these glitter pens I inherited.

These are interesting times. Everything comes slowly these days.

My husband got me two new fountain pens and a sample of inks from Goulet pens about a month before the pandemic. I think those ink samples got me through the last 7 weeks of lockdown in an already dreary winter.
