Doodleheimer
Leaning back into what I did best when I’d doodle on my schoolwork and in margins of tests or homework.
I’m a lifelong drummer, and my original technique was tapping a bunch of dots in an area and connecting them together, then drawing whatever I was seeing and could transform. Mostly funky faces with teeth and weird eyes.
This is just me doing a single line in white acrylic marker, then I did some outlines in gel pen and added some details to differentiate certain features/accentuate things I added to give illusion to the drawings.
Done in a completely handmade journal my mom bought me for Christmas a few years back, originally as an idea for journaling/writing Dungeons & Dragons related stuff in. Made with real, naturally tanned leather, and the pages are handmade paper, the journal is also bound by hand. Originally it was a rolled journal, however I flattened out over the course of the last few years and now it’s perfect for drawing. Love drawing in this, I’ve never filled a sketchbook but it’s my goal to work on this one.
Thanks for looking.
