Doodling Along


Lately, I have been doing a lot of sketching. Some of them are okay, and a lot of them are explorations of different techniques.
I have a story started in my head and I have done a bit of brainstorming for the characters. 
This girl is part of my brainstorming process. I want to "bring her to life," so I have created an image of her...
I may make her a little younger and my inspiration came from 
I watched her Collage demonstrations on the Strathmore free video course. I am so impressed with Strathmore papers and these free workshops are fun, fun, fun.

After visiting her blog, recently, I became inspired by 
She  has published a book, Creative Doodling and Beyond, explaining some of her techniques. 
I have been exploring some doodles while I'm waiting for my order from Amazon. 
This is my latest doodle creation. 
                                                                           



As you can see, both of these are works in progress. I guess you 
know that I'll continue to doodle in the next few days.

Hi Janet,

Great doodles. I ordered the book as well. Drawing is my big thing this year. I can paint and draw with light and shadows, but want to do more organic drawing. Pretty site you have here.
