I am not much of a doodler but I thought this would be fun way to practice some of my pattern designing. If the prompt suggests a figure or face, I am going with that. Otherwise, I am dividing the space up and filling it with various patterns. I am trying to remember to photograph the initial squiggle. You will have to guess where it is in the first doodle. The hand came out a little lame, but the rest came out satisfactory. This should be a fun project.
Hi Myrna, These "doodles" and pattern studies are inspiring! They look like great fun and it will be interesting to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteI like the progression.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to exercise that doodle in yah...great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow, your inner Picasso is working overtime :) Great "doodles" (can't really call these doodles as they are so much more finished than a quick little doodle).
ReplyDeleteThe entry for Jan. 5 is by far my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWill you still alternate between different pens/brushes?
super doodles! I picked up a free day planner from the bank and decided that I never look at these. I carry them around in my purse and never use them. So in those tiny squares..I am doodling too! One a day..should be fun to see how it looks Dec. 31,2011. I am going to take it to my studio and use my acrylics on it to color up the bank name and the dull fake black leather cover. I will take pics and you can see my inner whatever!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting; I'm ordering one of these doodle calendars. (I might order two, so I'll have before and after.)
ReplyDeleteHi Peggy, I, too, am curious where this particular path will lead. I think it will be a good way to play with pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi Harley, Thanks for the comment. Progression is the name of the game!
ReplyDeleteHi Cynnie, Want to jump on the bandwagon? I think we all have the doodling gene.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda. I guess I am attracted to complicated projects! Simple doodles are too simple! What are you going to read next? Enjoyed the synopsis of Egon Schiele.
ReplyDeleteHi David, I like that one, too. The different line sizes are in response to the initial prompt on the page. Some are made with a fine line and some are made with a wide marker. I like the combination.
ReplyDeleteHope you pick back up on your blog and webpage. I like what I saw there.
Hi Kay, glad you are joining the ranks of us "doodlers" Send me a photo of a completed page. Would love to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteHi Hallie, We should compare notes to see what we come up with for the same prompt. I had two calendars for the self portrait series. It came in handy when i really messed up a drawing. I'm not too worried about this one. I just photograph the page first before I draw on it. If you use a different colored ink, you can identify their initial mark on the page along with what you added.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're schooled in Zentangles.
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking of gluing befores-and-afters in a small journal; one for each month. If anyone was interested, they could buy one by making a donation to our local SPCA or Food Bank. I think people might enjoy seeing the original mark.
ReplyDeleteHi Kass, I am definitely a student of Zentangles, although very unofficially.
ReplyDeleteHallie, that sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMy last comment. I neglected to say how much I have enjoyed following your projects (quilt calendars, Ipad adventures, classes, etc.) during the past year or so. Your work is wonderful--and I enjoy wearing NAOT sandals.
