Practice!

I have been trying to establish doodling as a daily habit. Some of the things I’ve done in the last week or so:

Babbys, and half a preschooler.

A hipster couch.

I still find inappropriately steampunked objects disproportionately amusing.

I need to practice backgrounds. I hate drawing them, but I love seeing them well-done. I threw a George Booth dog in there before I realized I have no memory of what George Booth dogs actually look like.

A good exercise is to try and draw famous people from memory. These are the money guy and, um, I clearly don’t know.

I got a lovely new pen from Muji a couple months ago and it is the best pen and I love it. This scan doesn’t capture the greatness that is this pen, or the smallness that is Tiny Art Boy. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to draw little tiny things with nice pens on nice paper. Maybe I can make a career out of selling drawings the size of my thumbnail.
