It starts off innocently enough when I’m taking notes at work.
Gathering my thoughts and drawing a line to continue with something else, like so:
But then I sometimes just want to add the short vertical lines to make it look nice:
And then the dots are where the trouble begins:
Because then this is inevitable:
It happened (again!) today…
Time to practice my bike drawing skills! I’ve always found it almost impossible to draw a bike that looks normal. And, apparently, I’m not the only one, which Gianluca Giminis fantastic project Velocipedia clearly shows (shown to me by a certain bike nerd who plays an important role in this post).
I’ve become quite happy with mountainbiking these past couple of years. Fortunately, I live with the mentioned bike expert/nerd who is willing to help me improve my biking skills as well as my drawing skills.
Here are my doodles from today with a couple of helpful comments:
I don’t know what the last comment means. But I guess it matches my skills on an actual mountainbike quite well, since I’m probably about 25 years behind everyone else on the trail.
I’m sitting indoors drawing doodles even though it’s summer outside, because I have to document my extensive knowledge about fashion.
You’re welcome!
Last weekend I went to visit my parents (and their cat and dog) and I’ve been drawing heaps of friendly pets since then. Here’s a selection:
My parents’ pets are in a love-scratch relationship (the dog loves the cat and the cat scratches the dog in its big drooling face).
I drew these beasts individually on paper and then gave them a bit of digital editing (and put them together two and two).
Trying to play ladder with my priest after the Witchwood expansion (and losing a lot) so I drew this:
I’m having a lot of fun though!
Sorry if this is absolute nonsense to non-Hearthstone players 😀
There are ramsons everywhere around the city right now, and it’s so nice with something green to look at outside (before the garlic smell takes over later in Spring).
Btw I had to look up what these plants are called in English, because I only knew the Danish term “ramsløg” – (rams onions). I of course ended up reading about the etymology of the word, because linguistics!
I’m digging the digital at the moment, so I drew this in Illustrator with my Wacom drawing tablet.
Today I learned 2 things.
1) Small dogs can pee with their legs floating in the air (at least that one small dog that I saw).
2) A computer looks like an octopus on the inside.
Looking forward to a week off work starting today – with loads of time for more silly doodles.
I spotted a great piece of knit/ crochet street art on the way to visit my parents yesterday. Of course I had to draw a doodle:
The original bunny – hanging happily by the ears:
It just makes me so happy that someone made this bunny and put it up in in this really boring spot next to the busy road.
It’s still hat season in Denmark, which means – hat hair. Fortunately, the weather’s also perfect for gif-making.
I’ve recently started drawing on my computer with a drawing tablet. It’s an amazing new world of erasing and drawing straight lines and smushing and playing with different brushes and colours. At the same time it’s kind of frustrating, and I feel like I’m a 5-year-old learning to draw.
Almost at the exact day that I decided to go digital, the weather decided to be nice. So today I brought my laptop outside to experiment with making GIFs. It’s not a perfect situation to work outside, but definitely nice. Kind of like this half-heartedly encouraging mouse giving us all a thumbs up for trying new things.
