Inspired by lines and symmetry of “beauty”. Would love feedbacks of this art piece, wanting to post onto other social media platforms. ❤️

This was a transitional piece as I enlarged/zoomed out the 'mass' of the doodle towards the edge of the paper. This was one of the last pieces of abstracts before my figures surfaced from the compositions.

Final drawing 6 of 6. Here I fine tuned the piece. Spent some time on the shirt and wrinkles. Added little details like moles and neck creases. Finished up areas of shading. I had a heck of a time on his right eye. It’s the one area I couldn’t get quite to my liking but it is what it is. Overall, I like how this came out.

This is a piece I drew for my dad. He's an advanced practice nurse on a rescue helicopter.

Just an OC of mine taking a drag, I guess.

Sketching for fun on a scrap piece of paper, while my daughter was getting her hair artistically colored and cut.

Pencil Drawing

Sharpie is what I do best :)

This is one of many people that I will be using in my Senior Thesis animation project. My project is to create an interactive piece that is aimed for teaching young underrepresented minorities and girls the design process for a robot. :)

The piece was then copied in black and white using an HP copier.

The eclipse had an unexpected influence on a previously uploaded piece. Can you guess which one, and what changed?

Piercing through the dark

Drawing figures in a Museum cafe. Mainly Sharpies.

I love Alice in Wonderland and decided to do a couple of drawings. Sharpie, pen, pencil, and colored pencils were used on this.

Line drawing of Medusa, one of my final pieces for my university projects. Done in fine liner.

This vibrantly colored piece is quite literally a multi-mixed media piece . . . combining watercolor, acrylic, abstract design and doodles. Available in sizes 6" x 8" to 16" x 20".

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!

The Field of Poppies

This was a commission piece for a local hair design salon (Atomic Salon). One of the owners wanted to have a portrait of the duo-founders/owners in the style of an old photo.
