Doodle No. 216 One of the trickier things I've had to internalize is drawing "From" references rather than "Just" drawing references.
Actually Doof

Teaching myself to draw through doodles. I sometimes draw naked people, so 18+ only. 🔞
Doodle No. 215 I had a specific idea for today's doodle, which underwent an identity crisis (twice) by the time the woman was done. After that I decided to use the rest of the space to practice drawing shoulders, a piece of anatomy I care inordinately about.
Doodle No. 214 A fellow aspiring artist by the name of CrusaderDeleters asked me to draw their OC Lora, so here they are catching up with the as-of-yet-unnamed Frog Girl.
Doodle No. 213 More practice, finding forms. I initially had a slightly more ambitious sketch in mind, but time got away from me.
Doodle No. 212 I've always been impressed by artists who can draw ancient and venerable architecture that silently looms over everyone and everything caught in its shadow.
Doodle No. 211 Wanted to work on blocking and consistency today, but found myself chafing against the size of my sketchbook. It may be time to opt for something larger, though I'm partial to a hobby I can carry in my pocket.
Doodle No. 210 Decided to draw a monster today. His name is Kerwin and it's his first day on the job. Please be nice to him.
Doodle No. 208 Shoulder practice (✓) and perspective practice (✗).
Doodle No. 207 #Unsounded Evildoers beware, the Peaceguard is here! The heroic Captain Toma, and...Mooseka? Elka? "That's me! Evacuatin' the shit!"
Doodle No. 206 I drew and redrew her left hand so many times, I got frustrated and decided to make her an amputee. I think the hook came out well, however, so if I drew her again I'd definitely keep it. Her bare feet were a struggle too, but one thing at a time.
Doodle No. 205 #FinalFantasy #FinalFantasyXII #FFXII #FF12 A friend of mine was playing Final Fantasy XII and when Balthier shows up and Vaan goes, "Who are you?" and Balthier replies, "I play the leading man, who else?" I instinctively responded, "Yeah he is." Dashing rogues > edgy rogues.
Doodle No. 204 Punk's not dead. This started as a form study, then turned into an attempt to draw loose, slightly bulky clothing (most of my outfits still hug the body); then I decided to add a tattoo, and the rest of the design choices flowed from there.
Doodle No. 203 Your friendly neighborhood bog witch. She uses parasitic fungi to reanimate the dead and brews tea from herbs that grow in graveyards. She has one of those "Cut here" tattoos around her neck. If she dies, so long as her head is recovered, she can be revived.
Doodle No. 202 Trying my hand at a rudimentary character sheet with different angles and expressions, trying to find the simple shapes that make a character recognizable. Swapping to a (more) cartoony style, I felt compelled to make his mustache bigger as his primary means of self-expression.
Doodle No. 201 I wanted to draw something simpler today as a bit of a break, then decided to try for a pattern on the cape.
Doodle No. 200 Beach episode! The perspective's a bit wonky on this one; the ones in the back came out great, but the tower climber and frog girl were trickier to include (and I had to draw and redraw the latter multiple times). Not my best work, but fun to draw to celebrate a major milestone.
Doodle No. 198 In the stillness, remember: the world still turns, and the grass still grows.
Doodle No. 196 #JurassicPark #Jojo'sBizarreAdventure #JoJo #JJBA Rest in peace, Sam Neill (and Jeff Goldblum, I suppose).
Doodle No. 194 #SuperEyepatchWolf #VersusWolves Eyepatch Wolf laying down a righteous beating on "The Lord Protector" Oliver Cromwell, warts and all. I decided to add Woolie laughing in the corner because I think John would want to include him in the moment.
Doodle No. 193 #Wizardry I bought the Wizardry remake on sale and was amused by the villain living at the bottom of a giant hole in the middle of town. I'm aware he made the hole himself, but this comic still came unbidden to my mind. That's the same underpaid sentry from Doodle No. 37.
Doodle No. 192 The daughter of a local perfume merchant. Her father's attempts to marry her off have all been thwarted by her talent for mischief. She refuses to marry any man who cannot laugh at himself.
Doodle No. 191 For some reason the YouTube algorithm decided I really needed to see a lot of videos about hardboiled detectives today...and you know what? They're right.
Doodle No. 189 #BruceLee "Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
Doodle No. 188 #MagicTheGathering #MTG An attempt at recreating Seb McKinnon's Cuombajj Witches, my favorite Magic card.
