Doodles

One thing I did do at the end of 2015 was doodle a bit more.  Here are a few of the doodled pages I shared.  Hope you enjoy!  This year I've also started a daily doodle project in my Year of the Doodle planner/journal.  The pages in this thing are absolutely gorgeous.  If you're not into doodling, it would really make a nice little planner as well.  Or you could use it for both I guess.  I'll post my progress so far in another post.

A house, some sketches and other doodles

 The title really says it all.  Some practice in my latest style of a cute little house, some sketches of random things to try to get all this rustiness out, and some random doodles for more practice. 

I've had a hard time with this style, trying to recreate the look I want, but the more I play with it, the easier it has seemed to get.

 

Another Kickstarter Update! - Sherlock playing cards

A little update with some initial silly sketches I did of drunk Sherlock and Watson! LoL! Along with a small little thank you post from me to all of you who have helped back this project. Seriously, I can't say it enough: YOU GUYS ROCK!

Also, Shane Tyree, (an amazing artist whose page you should check out: Shane Tyree Art Studio ) has shared his coin design for one of the stretch goals! If we can reach his card deck stretch goal, you'll get to see even more amazing designs like it from him! So be sure to check it out!

Sketches and doodles

Just some sketches and doodles.  Also drawn on photo paper with sharpie pens and markers.

Happy Halloween!

Just some sketches and things with me trying out a new digital brush.  

And happy halloween to those who celebrate it.  ;)  Happy Thursday to those who don't! :D

Some Black and white (mostly) doodles

 Just some silly doodles to try to get back into the swing of drawing. Have been too exhausted, busy and uninspired to draw anything for some time.

 I really like playing around with black and white images. There's something so striking about them, even when it's just a silly image of a zombie-like boy with a pig on his head.  ;)

And last, but not least, my favorite, Sir Oinks A Lot!

Green people and teapots

 A sketchbook page of some green people's heads. Or, um, something like that...

The teapot outline/shape was created with a sort of template (a wall hook actually). But I really liked it, so I traced the outline as best as I could to use as a template and decided to create this. I'm not sure what the middle should have inside, if anything. So I'll consider this a WIP as I may come back to it.

All characters belong to their respective owners.

 This wasn't the idea I originally had in mind, but this is what came from mindless doodling while trying to practice on vector-ish work. It makes absolutely no sense, which seems to fit my work quite well.

Worms?  Or something... I'm not sure what most of these are. Practice I guess. They were fun. I need to practice placement/perspective more. I never seem to line anything up right, especially on faces. Doing simple stuff like this helps...I think...

I may try coloring some of these. I still don't feel like I've got a specific technique I prefer to draw in. :/ But I think I'm getting closer each time to finding it.

Some random things and weird practice.

 Some weird painting practice things.  I don't even know... O.o

 This is a bit out of season but I couldn't seem to help myself. I've been wanting to do a creature in this style for ages and this is apparently what came out of my head.  :p

These are just some hideous scribble pages of me trying to get back into my drawing groove after going a week or so of having almost done little to no drawing.  :/  I hate when that happens.  It feels like forever before I can get back into my drawing groove.  >.<  Hopefully this week won't be so quiet around here and some good ideas will eventually pop into my head.

Sketches and more people

 Some quick sketches and color/line/whatever else practice while recuperating from a nasty cold.

The pet here was originally a cat. But it looks more like a dog to me. :/ But I liked the way the girl came out.

Beware, first terrible comic posting.

Just some random sketches.

Random character Doodle.

And a silly comic made from said random character doodle. You can read more about my inspiration and thoughts on this piece via my deviant art page here.

More people

 

The name Kendra was stuck in my head for this girl. She seems like she'd be a fun companion to have around. I think she'd be shy at first like Fluttershy but could make you giggle like Pinkie Pie. ;D

 Somehow this girl turned into a vampire. I'd originally thought she'd make a fun sister to Cruella Devile. ;D

just random sketches working on some people. The serious hideousness on the left side makes me cringe. :S

Sketches and some animal doodles

Just another group of sketches.

I was pretty pleased with how this turned out. It's not perfect, but I think it looks improved from my previous ponies at least. I've been trying to think of a name for her. I thought it might be fun to have her be related to Pinkie Pie but her cutie mark doesn't really suggest a relation there.

I'm not sure why I kept this guy purple. I wasn't really concerned with his color, just wanted to see how the overall image looked in some sort of colored form rather then just the sketch. And his legs look messed up but I like the way he looks mid body up so I may use that part somehow later? We'll see I guess.

I don't often try drawing full body sketches. I tend to practice small areas at a time, like doing head sketches. But I feel I should draw them more so I doodled this. I haven't been drawing very many animals lately either it seems like. I really like how this guy turned out. He still needs some polishing I think, but he makes for a cute little doodle. :)

Don't forget, you can also follow my work via DeviantArt and Facebook. :) Happy weekend to all!

Just some random sketches and things for practice.

This is a bit of a dark piece. Just wanted to play with some techniques and was too lazy to do much more then copy what I'd already doodled and flip it. ;D

I don't know what this girl is pointing at or why, but her name in my head is Pointer girl. :/ Just wanted to try out some background stuffs with my sketches. I really liked the color scheme on this even if the idea doesn't make a lick of sense. ;D

Been practicing people and just basic stuff. I've been incredibly inspired by Xamag's art, which you can check out here. While I've never really drawn people with horns before, they've actually been a huge inspiration to me. They seem to give my bland characters a bit more personality and life somehow. It's been fun pushing myself to work harder and better and in new ways. These were all so much fun to draw. Especially the middle lady in red. ;D

So far, I call these two Ric and Rac. I think I may rename them and use Ric and Rac for better characters though. :p

No idea what to say about this really. Just practicing stuff I guess.
