Hello, my name is MaryAnn Loo,
and I'm a doodle addict. Singapore

I draw things inspired by my silly little life, usually with penguin characters in whimsical scenes... and my characters PenguinGirl, Fatty McPingoo, Pengzilla... and more and more penguins!

I specialize in comics, illustration, murals, quirky doodles, traditional art, whimsical illustration.

Oodles of doodles of my penguin pals…

Completed my first commission of the year — inspired by my Dream Tree mural in Bristol, for a couple from the neighbourhood who walk by the mural nearly every day

My assignment (for fun) after watching "The Art of Sketching" course by Mattias Adolfsson on Domestika.

Welcome doodle for the Year of the Rabbit!

First commission of the year in progress — inspired by my mural in Bristol, for a couple from the neighbourhood who walk by the mural nearly every day

Burgers and fries themed doodle inspired by this burger-shaped cushion while hanging out at my brother's apartment.

Started a not-so-random random doodle. ("Not-so-random" because it's Chinese New Year soon, and it will be the Year of the Rabbit! :P)

Been musing about what "home" really means...

2nd Bristol-inspired Commission Completed!

Completed this commission for a couple in Bristol, inspired by their favourite park Arnos Vale

Late night random sketching

Dragging through the snow On a one-girl open sled Over the hills we go… “Why aren’t we there yet?” PenguinGirl can never say NO to chocolate, and Fatty McPingoo (the fat penguin with the Harry Potter scarf) knows it all too well! I drew this in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, imagining PenguinGirl and her friends traveling in the snow to a Christmas party

Inspired by a lovely painting by illustrator Loré Pemberton.

A doodle of my original characters PenguinGirl, Little Dreamer, and the NightFaun

Inspired by “The Birthday” by Marc Chagall, the mess of my physical workspace… and the chaos in my mental and emotional space as well

Facebook group "Daily Drawing Challenge" prompt 3006, Sun 5 Mar 2023. My goal is to use these prompts to practice drawing scenes for children's book stories LOL

Another commission for another couple in Bristol, finished drawing in pencil and next up is inking and colouring! :D

This here is PenguinGirl’s attempt to justify eating more chocolate this year!

How many art masterpieces do you see? LOL

Inked this new WIP, and added quite a few more little penguins to make the scene way more chaotic LOL

Facebook Group Daily Drawing Challenge prompt from Mon 6 Mar 2023
