I started sketching a scene and thought "I'm not that good at drawing trees", so rather than do an entire scene, I thought I'd have a go at a single tree as an exercise. In hindsight I used too thick a pen. Time to break out the 0.1 pens for future sketches.
I’ve been practicing digital art lately. This was made in the Adobe Draw app on my iPad. I wanted this drawing to be a celebration and kind of sweet renewal after everything we’ve been through.
Yet again, this came from a doodle... then from there, i just couldn't help myself & continued to add more fun & a few extra nutty bonus cartoons. Hence the number 6. A great caricature artist by the name of Al Hirschfield used to add & scribble his daughters' name into each drawing. He then would add a number next to his signature signaling how many times the name 'Nina' would appear. So in a similar way i too have decided to add a number but mine will simply offer a hint for how many extra cartoons i have deliberately added. Can u find them?
"Whirlwind 25”, an original drawing. Micron pens on archival paper. Size: 5” x 7”. Title, signature, and date in the back of the drawing. This drawing is the 25th in a series of drawings posted over a period of 100 days. The original post date on this drawing was September 25, 2020.
It's the King of the Monsters, along with a bunch of his classic Kaiju buddies. Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Jet Jaguar, Anguirus, Baragon, and of course, we can't leave out Minilla.
I started drawing this all the way back in July 2019, when the King of the Monsters movie was released. But I left it alone for a long time until just recently, when I needed something to work on while streaming. I wanted to make this a fun looking image with stylized versions of Godzilla and the gang, but originally Godzilla himself was drawn a lot sillier, and I toned that down when I went back to it. I had to make Godzilla look like he was in charge, after all!
This came about from a doodle. Doodling is a combination of skilled scribbling, mindless direction & abstract tracing. Doodling [For Me] is not sketching someone's portrait or rendering a photo. It's freely skating w a pencil or pen along a drawing surface & searching for discoveries & different unusual paths that some how result in some lovely surprises. So here ye go. And as always, there r some sneaky bonus ideas to be had if u r so willing to take a gander. Enjoy!
