Digi-Doodles

I think I may try to practice digital drawing more with my doodles.

In a review I had once, my reviewer said “the doodles seem like your most authentic form of making” and I think, sometimes I agree with them. I’d like to disagree, the notion that I am naturally only drawn to making on kind of thing. I guess whatever works, at least to get something out every day or so. I don’t see this replacing my ‘normal’ art, however, I find it very difficult to come up with feasible ideas when I’m not at school. Not necessarily good ideas, just doable with the resources I have.

I know that I’ve had the idea to make a poster of all the shapes I draw and give them gibberish names, reminiscent of ‘bouba and kiki’. It definitely sounds fun but that is a LOT of names to generate, not even names, just noises, really.

I can see myself attempting some monochromatic iterations of these in the future. The thing is, I’m so used to switching colors I cant even imagine what these would look like.

This made my hand hurt.

While it only took about 30 minutes, I think these feel more fun and finished than most of my traditional work. Not sure how i feel about the black, though. I added it, liked it, then felt like the rest of the piece needed black and it got out of hand.
