doodles

Something something

I’ll find a title for this post later.

I’ve been meaning to share doodles and sketches here all along last year. I kept on procrastinating all year long. The last shared drawing stuff is from March and i notice I didn’t share much in the few months before that either.

So, for now, sharing only a few things that i more or less like from last year. And I’ll see about anything else later, another day/another time.

a sketch from July 2022 in a 11.5x18cm Moleskine

These next two were done very quickly & directly with fineliner and ink brush pen on scrap printer paper. A4 pages folded in two. (Second one is cropped here; it didn’t fill the page.)

It was initially supposed to be some sort of ‘exercice’ to be done directly (and ONLY) with a pen or fineliner- not doing any ‘shading’/filling or anything like that (more like just some plain contour) but i often can’t even follow my own exercices. (I grabbed a nearby ink brush pen just to cover/hide some really bad hatching made a second before.)

I’m not 100% fond of/satisfied of the first one of course and the second one has perhaps even more issues but uh initially these were only supposed to be exercices/practice. The sort i’d do for myself and not to show/share. Just to practice. Just to fail over and over again until perhaps i start to get it right. (Even tho these are far from being the most useful exercices i could do; the ones I should focus on. Given what i more specifically need to work on.) [And all these were done from photo references yes.]

Last one was something doodled when i woke up after spending 5 hours trying to sleep then finally sleeping 5 hours. I was far from being completely awake yet, really. I generally tend to strongly dislike this sort of doodles/drawings i do, but this one i like it OK, i think. Somehow.

So yeah, until later, until next time. Next something.

no

uhm, no i don’t finish things. [anything]

My back feels like it’s burning tonight for some reason and i’m again very sleepy and tired.
No choice but going to lie on my back right now i guess. Hopefully it’ll be enough to help (because Ouch! it is more than uncomfortable).

sketches &tc

Puisque que je procrastine sans fin trop de choses depuis des mois, voila au moins une sélection de quelques gribouillages selon ce que j’ai sous la main. Plus ou moins récents, quelques semaines, deux/trois mois et/ou plus anciens.

[edited: updated because some doodles were missing as WP’s editor was close to make me snap when first making this post. I have no patience for computer crap anymore. Sorry for this.]

random cyborg thing

An unfinished random thing made early February. (Something i definitively couldn’t have ‘finished’ in any way..)
i was initially going for a specific exercise but i doodled randomly instead. This is the thing that happened, or the accidental result.
fwiw.

Wanderer

Two doodles drawn as thumbnails. fwiw (Ouch. Especially the 2nd one, only after the ‘read more’ thing because… ew/Bleh. OK, not sharing it anyway.)

And… i’ll definitely get around to post some of the doodles/drawings/etc i still mean to (find and) post/share.. and maybe manage to drawn, sketch &/or doodle a little more than i’ve been doing for a while now
