What does an artist do while playing Clue? Doodle, of course! Here’s the result of some sub conscience doodling while playing, and I was paying attention to the game with full notes :)

Scribble Ink Doodle: Horsing Around: Phase 1

I assigned three horse sketches to my drawing students this past week, so I decided to do a few myself. This image both challenging and fun. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a colt. I’ve also not done anything “art” worthy in awhile, so I decided to start this on illustration board. That way if […]

Sharpie Doodle: Mayan Cry

Creature/Character Design – Norelda

I started telling my kids stories when they got bored on a hike awhile back. I told them about Norelda, the keeper of the great portal to the other world. Ha!
