And a whole bunch of sticky notes!

Working on making my cats a little more fun. I added this guy to redbubble and he is available as a sticker and on other items.

When I was working on my new bullet journal, a friend asked, "oh god, are you one of those people now?" Yes. Yes I am.

Jook’s doodle colouring books are a collection of true gems. Her anthropomorphic and surreal scenes depict a plethora of creatures, spanning from cute and innocent-looking to downright bizarre and monster-like. Flip through the pages, get colouring and get inspired. Join Jook’s world. Colouring books for ages 7 to 77. I am a Belgian female artist & illustrator and I use a self-invented technique of automatic drawing to delve into my subconscious. I doodle everywhere and every spare moment. By quickly drawing, barring any conscious thought, I am giving as much room as possible to my imagination. Through extensive, at times even compulsive, doodling, a new and totally unique world arises. Come visit, get inspired and maybe get lost in my subconscious. Join my world and my obsessive-compulsive drawings. More info: doodleart.shop | Facebook | instagram | youtube page of the book

Trying out a new color scheme!

First time posting, I love drawing pretty much anything, but new contemporary is my main thing,

I frequented this movie theater when I was a kid. It no longer exists! #nostalgia Ballpoint pen on Bristol board

This one is made up of leftover sketches from the Inktober sessions last year. I liked some of the characters, so I thought it was a shame not to give them their own scene. I used a Sakura fine brush pen which was great fun to draw with and adds a new depth to the line work. This follows on from an earlier drawing. The guy with the parachute has now landed in this crazy manic restaurant.

My newest hero (this character still does not have a name) kicks ass!

There was a royal lineage in Europe that was so inbred that their jaws started getting really distended and weird. Like Jay Leno, but inbred. (I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.) Feel free to look up the Hapsburgs. I'll wait. The second picture is a Fiji mermaid and a merman. I think I want a merman tattoo. SMOLDER.

Coffee, newspapers and sleeping bird.

Line drawing with marker and india ink.

I've started a new sketch book (one of many, lol), which I am dedicating to ink drawings only. No pencils, no watercolours, just pen and ink :) I drew this doodle today with a Uniball pen and a light ink wash for the space sky. No reference, totally made up. Mistakes and all! Available as stickers and other goodies on Red Bubble. Sketchbook is Stillman and Birn Alpha - I love, love, love the whiteness of its pages!

A Lunar Chinese New Year Entry - 2018 its the year of dog! Woof Woof~

New drawing in the works, ready for color.

This is a new series of contemporary paper collages realised using a mix and match of new and vintage paper. I used: • Vintage paper ephemera (old postcards, paper cuts, portraits) • Recycled paper from envelopes • Brand new paper cuts • For the decorations I mostly used marker pens, stickers and washi tape.

I always admired those hand-painted signs outside the barbershops, so I made my own. Actually, you look like you need a fresh new hairstyle yourself. I can hook you up

I have been really enjoying this motif lately of mixing geometric shapes and linework with the fluidity of watercolor.

Playing with some experimental media while drawing from life with my students last spring. Gearing up for new sessions in a couple weeks.

​Sketching for a new illustration with my Osprey Pens Milano fountain pen.

This image was created to be a limited print to go along with my new book, 10 Years of Daily Drawings.

This is a black-and-white revision of an illustration I made (hand-drawn) for an American Red Cross e-newsletter years ago. The original was in color; however, considering my current work is predominantly black and white, I thought it appropriate to update the illustration for my portfolio. © 2007-2018 Joe Blend.

working on some new ideas

Inspired by nature. Background layer of the pages are covered by Greenpeace's newsletter papers and used mixed technique with acrylic, ecoline and markers.

Testing out the sketchbook app on my new HP spectre x360 :D

A contour drawing was added using white ink, to convey the meaning behind the haiku (note: the word "the" was added by using semi-opaque tape to remove the word from a different newspaper article).

Day 1: yourself. This is my personal project #DoodleWithRin365 that I am working now. It is a journey of self development in creativity and encourage myself to explore as many things as possible. I have focused a lot in detailed architecture last 2 years and really enjoyed those crazy detail lines. This year, I would like to explore something different. In this project, I decide on those themes by myself which will be included things I like and also things that I have never tried before but would like to know more. Back to my works here, I used Pilot new brush pen to completed the outline on my sketchbook and the wording with tablet. For second version, I used my real lipstick for lips :)
