Doodling Again: Day 50 (Rejects!)

...My Pentel GFKP Refillable Pocket Kanji Fude Brush Pen, by the way, is apparently not frayed after all, but was only slightly clumped after being somewhat dried out (I guess). The line has become nice and smooth again.

But I still can't draw worth crap this evening - in spite of what should be inspiring brush-stroke smoothness.

I think I have mentioned before that my Doodles are done with no pre-planning and no models, so it's not often that the first Doodle that escapes from my pen or pencil also makes it onto this blog.

But I'm exhausted at the moment, so tonight you get these 2 rejects instead of new People-Doodles...

New rejects:



...Um... Hm. As I was posting these Achim came in and asked me why the left one is a reject. Well, alright then; the left one is a new People-Doodle and the right one is a reject. How 'bout that? :P ;)

And here's the old Creature-Doodle to finish off the day:

Doodling Again: Day 48

I'm staying with my (now slightly frayed) Pentel GFKP Refillable Pocket Kanji Fude Brush Pen for today's new People-Doodle too...

A new People-Doodle:



An old Creature-Doodle:



And there's been an update over at my "Mildred Loves You" blog today as well. We will be throwing a party on June 15th to celebrate MildredLovesYou.com turning 3 on June 16th. Please click this so-tiny-it's-practically-unreadable flyer to see more:

Doodling Again: Day 42

...The brush tip of my Pentel GFKP pen (which I've used for all of the previous new People Doodles posted this month) seems to have gotten a bit frayed in the meantime, and it's not giving me those smooth + juicy brush strokes that I like so much. So, I thought I'd draw today's Doodle with something else. Today's weapon of choice is an edding 1800 profipen 0.1.

Today's new People-Doodle:



Today's old People-Doodle:

Doodling Again: Day 38 (Back in Berlin)

Alright then. I'm back in Berlin now. Time for daily doodling once again... ;)

A new People-Doodle...



Two old People-Doodles (I thought I'd post these two together today since they are so similar to each other)...





And one more thing before I go for this time around... In my "Day 37" post on the 9th, I posted a new doodle drawn with an almost completely dried out Pentel GFKP pen. Since then, I've found myself increasingly dissatisfied with the way it had turned out. So upon returning to Berlin and snapping a refill into my pen, I found I couldn't resist updating. Here's the result of the revamping. ;)

Doodling Again: Day 37 (last Daily Doodle post until next week)

I've been pretty pleased with the fact that I've actually been keeping up with the daily pace since beginning this Doodling Again series back at the end of March (with only April 1st deliberately skipped and a couple of days missed during the Pictoplasma Festival). But I'm going have to take a week-long break now.

For one thing, my Pentel GFKP Refillable Pocket Kanji Fude Brush Pen is in the process of running out of ink at the moment - as can be evidenced by the lack of nice juicy solid blacks in the brush strokes of today's (below) and yesterday's People-Doodles.

I could of course just use another pen for my People-Doodles (I do switch the pens I use back and forth quite a bit with my Creature-Doodles). But I've fallen in love with the Pentel GFKP, and besides that, I will be leaving town for a week on Wednesday anyway, and have tons of other stuff to take care of between now and then.

So this will be my last Daily Doodle post until around Tuesday (the 17th) or Wednesday (the 18th) of next week. Here 'tis:

A new People-Doodle...



An old People-Doodle (including a couple of color versions)...



...I was busy teaching myself PhotoShop back in the day, and played around with some color versions of this one. Here are two of them...





See you next week, lovelies!

Doodling Again: Day 28 (with a Mermaid Bonus)

Alright then. The business-as-usual stuff first...

A new Creature-Doodle:



An old Creature-Doodle:



I have been concentrating mainly on Creature-Doodles since bringing this blog back to life back at the end of March.

There were of course People-Doodles included within the sketchbook pages I was adding here for a while, but with no real focus on them in particular. I will begin focusing on People-Doodles in particular a bit more in May.

As a sort of introduction to this intention I'd like to share some things that went on yesterday evening.

I sat down looking for an approach for little mermaid illustration I wanted to do for a project that Künstler Treu and I have up our sleeves. I wanted to find an approach that would be simple and relatively quick to do, and I thought basing it on the way my Doodles come into being might be a nice way to start.

So, I took out my Pentel GFKP Refillable Pocket Kanji Fude Brush Pen, and began doodling...





The above People-Doodles are the four most visually pleasing of a multitude of brush scribbles that helped lead up to this:



And this is a preview of one element of the-little-something that Künstler Treu and I have up our sleeves - which will involve a certain authoress by the name of Carolyn Turgeon...

...Who already had a great deal to do with this heavily mermaidy "Mildred Loves You" blog post from the beginning of this year.

Obviously I will be posting more mermaidy stuff in the future, but probably mostly over at my Mildred blog rather than here at this blog... ;)
