Playing with Inkscape

Note to future self: Do not ever use a mousepad on a laptop for anything art related. 

Gloomy Doodles

I guess I was in a morose mood during class today. All the doodles I made had something to do with time. The tree and owl one were instances of time having ended for someone. The hourglass showed time slipping away.

On the bright side, the old tree drawing is the best one I have ever drawn!

Drawing on Graph Paper

I love looking at mandalas, but haven’t managed to create a good one myself. Recently, I found templates that help you divide your paper into symmetrical areas. Most of these templates you either print with faint colors so you can draw over them. Or you print them with bold lines and place your drawing sheet on top of the template. 

Another class doodle

Here’s another picture from doodling to stay awake in class.

Instead of stacking geometric shapes, I decided to try drawing what I see. The scale isn’t quite right, so I definitely need to work at that. Also, sorry Professor, didn’t mean to make you have a mullet. At least the frequent glancing between the front of the room and the paper made me appear to be attentive.

New Profile Image

Hooray! I managed to create a picture that matches my imagination.

I love Totoro and have always imagined him holding a variety of items in place of his umbrella. Since I really like lotus flowers, I decided to try drawing him holding one. 

Lectures and Doodling

About a month has passed since the start of the semester. I’d like to say I have been studious and paid attention at all times, but then I’d be lying.

My Best Poke Ball

Ignore the demonic-looking Pikachu and check out the best Poke Ball I have ever drawn.

My Best G

Don’t know how I managed it, but this is the best ‘G’ I have ever drawn.

Trying Vector Drawings

As of late, my doodling has created relatively decent images. I wondered about how difficult it would be to make a digital version of them. 

Touch the Fireworks

Ah, the wonders of YouTube. You start one particular video and slowly find yourself in something completely unrelated, but still just as enjoyable. This is what happened to me last week when I realized I had gone from watching a math video to a lyric video of Touch the Sky by Julie Fowlis and used in the Disney movie, Brave.
