What do you see?
I usually don't have a plan when I put my pen to the paper. A lot of the time, I just draw what comes to me and sometimes it starts to form into other "bigger" shapes/objects like this one.
My husband has a chronic illness and frequently spends weeks in the hospital. I have been doodling each day while sitting with him and many of them reflect my thoughts at the time. Often appearing are desperation, hope, frustration, sarcasm, fear.
Hope this doesn't get me kicked out as a "non-doodle" but have been having a lot of fun with this little project. Tools include cardboard, a sharpie and a knife. More to come!
I also like using just black ink. Lately, I've been using this Platinum Preppy extra fine for my doodling. I like how different kinds of pens and tools can sometimes give different art.
I tweeted "Reply with a photo to this for me to draw on for @doodlers" the other day. I received a great photo from my dear friend Ashley. She was a friend in college. Her son's name is Pace. So cute.
Sketching in the bus :)
I really suck at portraits I think.. I probably should practice more... If any of you have tips I would love to know, please tell me in the comments!
