Here I come

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.

Do you remember? Using a pencil to get back to the first track?

This is the bottom half to a recent sketch, just my take on a technological based breed that are spoon fed opinions from various sources.

A basic 20 minutes sketch of Nissan GTR with 5 minutes rendering process. I used Alcoholic markers here.

Heart Drawings

The intricacies in nature as we see it through ornamentation is so intriguing. Happy noon...keep doodling

Wheelchairseries 14~~ I would like to say I truly am grateful for this job. But gosh darn I don’t know if it’s where I live or the customers...or me....working in a wheelchair as a cashier that exposes hidden challenges not only mechanically but also inte

I drew these guys with a Pilot Custom 823 FA and Platinum Carbon Black ink. The FA nib has a good drawing width on watercolor paper - one of my favorites. It's a soft nib but I don't use the line variation, just some nice shock absorption with each downstroke. The Carbon Black ink is out-of-this-world good, though being pigmented I fear keeping it in too many pens.

Skip James is the man. I’ve been wanting to do something music related. I sketched this a year or two ago. It was fun to bring it into Procreate and add doodles, lettering, color and more elements like the guitar neck. I’m always looking for a way to combine my pencil with color and have it look like it really goes together. This one felt right.

The Vegemite Song

The face

The view from my hotel room in Milan, Italy

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) There used to be comic book adverts for cap grenades, which this is a parody of.

I bet there is no other backpack in the world with the same design as this girl's. It is a truly unique backpack with a unique doodle.

This was done on a heavy day. On days like this, I like to doodle whatever is inside my head to lighten things up. My therapy. Almost everything in here means something.

"The Sludge"

Is there something on my head?

Piercing through the dark

We all come from different places and I wish I could visit them all.

The Right Pen For The Job: Started with a Pilot Custom 742 PO. Finished with my 3776 Century UEF. Ready for color.

Work in progress of another epic monster ball doodle!

I’m back! The game company I work for hit some turbulence and laid off half the studio. I’m still there but it took a while to adjust. Getting back to my own work now. This was drawn with my Sailor King of Pen (M). What a pen! My Royal Tangerine 1911s is to the left for size comparison.

Big flower - lots of colour here and various kinds of pen. I love kiddies' gel pens because they fit in the narrow spaces.I tried the more expensive ones, but they are no better! Tombow brush pens are good for bigger areas. I am addicted to stripes and hu
