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.

We both work long hours. This is how my husband winds down. I rarely get him in any other pose during the week

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.

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

Graphic Journal 012021 - Inauguration Day

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.

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

Just thinking about the state of the world and the future...

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.

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.

072420 Drawing Prompt - The New Landscape

Drawing Prompt Submission

This is just a doodle to play with pens. I get all kinds of pens, new and used, from friends mostly. I don't put these in the sketchbook, it's too intimidating. This is just a little scrap of used paper from drawing practice, 2 ballpoints, and a few neon gelpens

I needed color to lift me out of a dark mood. It didn't really work.

This is my cat, who consented to sit for me after five minutes of play with the laser pointer
