Daily Doodle Diary #16

Hi everyone, 

Here is batch #16 of my Daily Doodle Diary!

Still haven't missed a day in September, whoop!

I have been riffling through this Diary a lot the past few days, looking back on all my sketches so far, and I loved seeing the evolution between the beginning of the year and now. I went from suing a lot of pencil and black and grays, to the colourful mess you see here. 

I used to be so shy with colour, but these doodles have really helped me come out of my shell a little, which is thoroughly enjoyable to look back on. 

 

I have been practicing drawing more unusual, contorted and dynamic poses lately (from reference), as it helps me perfect my understanding of anatomy. 

The image on the right above (15), was drawn from a sculpture by Alicia N. Ponzio. 

17 (right above) was one of my rare attempts at drawing a dramatically forshortened pose. They are tough! I need to practice them more! 

The image above right (25) was a value study from another pencil value study by Stanislav Zaichenko.

I have been loving doing value studies with these cheap colored brush pens, as they layer nicely with themselves and allow me to create reasonably complex value ranges with only one or two colours. 


My favourite spread from this batch is 24-25!

Do you have a favourite?


I hope you are all well lovely people, 

Take care, and speak soon! <3

Daily Doodle Diary #16

I think that 17 came off very well. No foreshortening issues.

I have some sketchbooks that are the same size as daily diaries /agendas. It may be a project that I start in 2021.

Motionless in White is a gothic hard rock/metal band here in the states. Check out their video for "Disguise" on youtube.

Oh, I like those too, thanks Alice!

Haha yes, 22 makes me smile too! It's the expression I think...What is Motionless in White?

Do it! It's challenging but also quite fun to have somewhere to work without any pressure and build a habit :)

Currently I am using a cheap set by Kimfly from Amazon

Hahaha, thanks Tina! Love your enthusiasm on these posts!

Haha, thanks Alice! It's one of the biggest challenges for most artists for sure!

I love 24 and 19 😊

Love love love your doodle diary. I am really tempted to start one too.

22 makes me laugh, and 24 is creepy but I like it, although that just might be because of my recent Motionless in White obsession.

What brush pens are you using?

13,16,17,19,22, and 27!

17, 21, and 24. Foreshortening is sooo hard 😂 i just cannae do it 😂 so 17 is definatly impressive
