Doodling progresses, slowly, but it is improving... I don't hate it.

Morning drawing before my day begins. I'm trying my best to stay focused on getting perspective and proportions somewhat correct. It can be a bit of a brain teaser.

I started an online art course of drawing with no talent, mainly because I wanted to feel better in creating art. And better doodle skills. Six months later, instead of wiggly blobs, I've got some decent doodles happening. 💙 #doodles #art #sketchbookskool

Various shades and tones of gel printed blue - collaged in vertical layers to signify the depth of the ocean. Sea creatures drawn within the tonal bands. Luminous ones show up really well on the darkest tones.

I have posted this image here before.
When #deepsea came up for #FishyFeb, it made sense to share my #sketchbookskool 'The Deep Blue' online class demo' drawings again 💙🐟

A pair of collaged hearts put together with found, coloured, stained paper and old magazines. The shape based on an old medical illustration of a heart.

14. Pair
A Valentine's Day online workshop I delivered at #sketchbookskool. Layering collage paper and intercutting it allows you to make multiple, fairly identical shapes in one go, which you can interchange, draw over etc

4 x head and shoulder drawings of a 60s doll. 2 have red backgrounds - one textured, the other 2 mainly layers of green and blue. Outlines of dolls in dark line with touches of white and yellow-orange. Equipment used to make artwork shown - a brayer, acrylic pens, tubes of acrylic paint.

A photo of the head and shoulders of a vintage 1960s doll. The colours have been inverted so she's blue-purple with orange eyes.

6. Eyes
The scary eyes of old dolls. Photo colours inverted then drawings done on gel print backgrounds with acrylic pens.
An online class I delivered at #sketchbookskool during a Halloween week. #dolls #acylicpens #gelprint

A flat lay assortment of purple painted paper. A houseplant with purple leaves shown top left (Tradescantia zebrina). Various mixed media scattered about to show what's been used to draw / paint / sketch it.

A book open at the top showing a purple drawing (from my first publication 'Freehand'). Also shown: prepped purple paper and mixed media, including a round palette and brush, purple pens, red and blue tubes of paint.

4. Purple
My demo pieces plus ideas for equipment to bring along - from an online class I taught a while back at Sketchbook Skool - 'to discuss why red and blue do what they do'.

Resolutions for the new year.

Resolutions. Just a list, not all pertain to me but I do need to call my mom more often.

Some of the productive goofing off I’ve been doing in Sketchbook Skool’s Creative License classes. Making a bad drawing, copying a child’s drawing, making a mess and being like a tree. Good fun!

Pen and ink sketch of an old gnarled tree with birds & bird nest. #treesketch #sketchbook

Somebody tell me what I was thinking doing 2 classes this month? I’m already behind!

This was Day 1 of Creative License #sketchbookskool @sketchbookskool.bsky.social

I found this video (and channel) really cool. He's so positive and encouraging, not too technical. #drawing #sketchbookskool

If you think you can’t draw but would like to learn, may I suggest you get yourself a magic marker and watch this wonderful animated film from Sketchbook Skool’s Danny Gregory.

Lately most Thursdays I hang out for an hour with Sketchbook Skool on YouTube and doodle along with other sketchbookers.
