Topographic therapy - day 392

This was therapeutic. I think I'll do a bigger one like this for the living room. maybe add some colour. We'll see.
Today was - and still is a very busy day. I don't have time for anything. It's my fault for waking up late. So making the time to doodle was a little break that was very much needed.
Sometimes we forget that in order to be able to continue, we sometimes need to stop for a bit.
Like that story with the lumberjack that didn't have time to stop cutting trees to sharpen his axe so he wasn't able to cut as many as he could with a sharpened one.
People sometimes act stupid.
Bah-bye

Days 385-386-387-388-389-390-391

WARNING!! Before you reach the end of this post. The last doodle - day391 - is a bit more disturbing than my usual doodles. If you are not in the mood to see that right now, you can simply skip it. (I'll leave a gap between the last one and the others and tell you about it again)




So.. this is day 385. I do not remember what triggered this one. The witch is a bit odd looking. I like the owl though.
This is just random. I feel that it could be on to something. Not this one in particular.. I just like the flow of it. I can't exactly spot it but there is something in there that I like.
OOoooohhh yes. I remember day 387 very well. It was the day I ate too many tangerins. The last one is the feeling they gave me after 20 minuites of excruciating pain. I don't care if you think I shared too much. You need to be warned about tangerins. They bring agony!
I like this one. It is not supposed to be something but the longer I look at it the more things I find. And it's not just buts this time!
I'm starting to repeat myself, I know. There are just some things that relax me every time. Like these types of doodles. I just like them. And everytime after one of those I feel like I took a nap.
So.. I was thinking about Frida Kahlo. I know this looks nothing like her, it's not supposed to. Oh well. I was just thinking of her and this happened. Not sure if I like it.
WARNING!!!

Here comes the disturbing one.

It's not THAT bad in my opinion but I feel that I need to warn you about this one because you are probably used to my usual stuff and this is a little different.

Also I'm not sure about the ages that are reading my blog..

If you don't feel like it just skip it.
It doesn't matter.











See you later!
































Here comes!

I was having a slow day today. The writings behind, I read them on a little book of psalms I have. The faces.. yeah, I don't know. I was thinking thoughts. Also this is a bit bigger in size than my usual ones. I was going to add colours but then I remembered that I suck at traditional colouring so... glad I didn't. See? I told you it's not that bad! It's just different than usual.

Halloween is over? - day384

We don't celebrate Halloween where I live. Everytime I say it something dies inside me.
I like pumpkins. Both visually and tastelly (?!) My grandfather has a pumpkin plant in his garden. The pumpkins he grows are HUGE! They are more enlongated than the classic round ones we see often for Halloween. ..Or rather other people see - not me - only other people. I usually cut the one he gives me in batches and freeze them. Maybe the next one I get, before cutting it up, I'll try carving it just for fun! Although I know I'm not gonna keep it for long - it would be such a waste of good food.
I'm in the mood for pumpkin soup now. Thanks a lot doodle.

Day 383

I don't know what is this. I'm sorry you had to see that.

Doodle days 380, 381, 382

This is G. One from my imagination. Her story is interesting. She is a refugee and is having trouble adjusting in her new environment. Her personality isn't helping. Maybe one day you'll get to know her better,
 
That day I forgot my sketchbook at home. So... yeah.
Just a happy little bat! I find this disturbingly cute. I like it.

So.. hopefully today my new couch is gonna get here!
So excited!!
See you later today for doodle 383.

Days 377 - 378 - 379

So magestic! 
I got a new pillow. It has cats on it. Not these cats. Other cats. Cats everywhere. Cats are life. 
So I tried this continued line challenge that is supposed to help you improve your hand-eye coordination. I suck at this. This is actually a cheat. I made it first with pencil and after many many changes I inked it. It's a dog that's sticking his tongue out. I guess it's a pug-ish dog. There are "one line" drawings out there that are jaw-dropping. This is not one of them.

microscopic angel - day376

So I was looking at images of plants under the microscope. Everything else happened randomly. If I were to do this again I'd change some things. Maybe I will actually do it again, I kinda like the "texture" of the background. We'll see.

1 year of doodles! - day366

This is the bigest doodle of them all! We are celebrating a year of daily doodling. It's been a weird adventure. It taught me not to care so much. If I didn't do this every day to the point where it was a pain, I'd still be obsessing over the smallest details and chase perfection. Of course it helped that I was repeating to myself (and you.. I had to) that it didn't matter - it was just a doodle. The same way that it doesn't matter that this is a day late. It's day 366, I really don't care though.
Here it is:
It's 50x70cm! That's so big compaired to the rest of my doodles. Everything else is the same: Black marker on white paper.

OH MY GOAT IT'S BEEN A YEAR!
We are legit now!
See ya tomorrow!

Happy new year! - day 365

This was supposed to be up yesterday, but 2016 decided to leave us with all the bad luck it could. First there was a blackout. So we decided to go for dinner at my boyfriend's parents. So naturally we got a flat tire. And then the thingy that was supposed to unscrew the thingies that hold the tire in place was broken. So we called the insurance. They couldn't help us because there wasn't an accident. We managed to go to a gas station near our house and the guy there after almost braking both his hands managed to change the tire. After all that we arrived. Oh, I didn't mention that it was the first time that we all met together, my mom, my boyfriends parents and us. So I was also very stressed due to that. The stress.. The stresssssssssss...............

But everything worked out in the end. So eventhough it was hard we managed to overcome everything that went wrong and we had a delicious dinner and changed the year all together. For that I am very gratefull.

The only thing I'm sorry for is missing yesterday's post that was our anniversary. But then when I think about it, maybe I'm the only one that cares about that. Maybe you didn't even notice. And that's ok. After all it's just 365 days. It's more exciting the year that's changing! 

Now ofcourse nothing is going to change here. My doodle diary is still going to be updated daily... well... how it was up until now anyway.

 My goal for the new year is to be more consistent and to challenge myself more and more with the doodles, maybe try drawing things that I find hard or that I have never drawn before. Maybe go a little bigger this time or use other tools like watercolour or something. I still don't know and that's ok. I can judge when the time is right what to do to push me. I want 2017 to be the year when I evolve the most. Maybe even find a standard style for myself eventhough I kinda enjoy not being "married" on anything. It feels good to be able to be all over the place and return whenever. We will see.

I wish you a happy new year. I hope Santa brought you what you wanted. If he didn't I hope you try to get it yourself. And if you do, I hope you succeed.

I'll see you again later, I'm working on today's doodle, our anniversary one. I'll post it later, it's not done yet.

See ya~
