Februdoodle 2026 #22: Tongue Trouble

 Martin · 10 days
A cartoon illustration of a man with his tongue sticking out, looking down at it. The man's tongue has a small face on it and also has an open mouth with tongue sticking out. The man has light green skin, yellow eyes with red pupils, yellow teeth, a poof of red hair, and a cyan shirt. The tongue gets a bit pinker as it comes out of the man's mouth and has the colored eyes and teeth as the man. Two droplets of spit are flying out of the tongue's mouth. The background is purple with a streak of darker purple going across from the left to the bottom of the image, behind the man.

For today's Februdoodle illustration, I drew a guy who's having tongue trouble. And whose tongue is also having tongue trouble. 😝

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Soft air brush for shading, and the Inka brush for background texture.

Februdoodle 2026 #21: Safe To Eat!

 Martin · 11 days
A cartoon illustration of a classic school glue bottle, drawn in a very loose style with lumpy edges and ungeometric shapes. The cap of the bottle is a ridged red orange and comes to a dull point at the top. Below that, the lid is wide and ridged. The bottle is even wider, and both it and the lid are white. The label on the front is dog-eared at the top left and has a silly looking cow with bugged out eyes and tongue sticking out over a red orange stripe. Below the cow, the label says "Olmor's Glue", and below that it says, "safe to eat!" in white over a blue stripe. There are globs of dried glue running down the cap, and two small puddles of glue at the bottom left of the bottle. There is a curly brown hair stuck in the glue on the floor. The background is yellow with a pale-yellow splotch behind the bottle.

I have no idea what to draw for Februdoodle these days. Maybe I should eat some Olmor's Glue for inspiration?

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Soft air brush for shading, and the Splatter spray paint brush for background texture.

Februdoodle 2026 #20: Flippant Cat

 Martin · 12 days
A cartoon illustration of a stylized cat sitting on its bottom, with front paws planted straight down and back legs jutting out at angles. The cat has a flippant look on its face, with eyes closed, ears back, and tongue sticking out. Its tail is poking up from behind, curved as if in motion. The cat's head is wide, and its body goes thin in the middle and then wide again at the bottom, giving the figure an hourglass shape. The cat is a yellow tan color with orange stripes and light-colored chest and paws. The background is a bold green with a lime green ellipse directly behind the cat.

I had a hard time coming up with an idea for today's Februdoodle. I spent a long time sitting there staring at a blank canvas, looking at random things online, messing with my Switch 2, and just hoping inspiration would hit me.

And I suppose it did, even though today's drawing is a little on the bland side. There's always tomorrow!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, and the Syrup brush for everything else.

Februdoodle 2026 #19: Whack-A-Mouse

 Martin · 13 days
A cartoon illustration of a boy playing a game of Whack-A-Mouse. The boy is standing in front of a board full of holes. He has his head tilted to the side and is smiling slightly and frowning, looking slightly evil. He has a light complexion and is wearing a green hat turned to the side and a green t-shirt with a mushroom on the front. He is holding a large soft mallet in his left hand, ready to strike. The board is drawn in perspective, with the viewer resting close to the end of it. It has 9 holes in it, and all of them that are visible have mice sticking out of them with X's for eyes and tongues sticking out or just slumped over onto the board - except one. The middle hole is empty, save for a pair of scared white eyes looking up from the darkness at the boy. The board and background are a dark blue, and the whacked mice are a slightly lighter blue.

Today's Feebrudoodle was another one of those that I've wanted to draw for a long time but never really figured out how it could work. Today I was struck with inspiration, and after a quick sketch, my idea was finally brought to life!

Originally, I intended to shade it a little more, but I liked the raw, simplistic look the Inka brush gave the lines, and felt like flat shading and a limited color palette would work better. I'm happy with how it turned out!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, and the Syrup brush for fills.

Februdoodle 2026 #18: Piggy Bank

 Martin · 14 days
An illustration of a piggy bank being broken with coins spilling out below. The piggy bank is broken in half by a jagged, broken crack. It is pink and looks like a stylized cartoon pig, with a grimace on its face and X's for eyes. There is a coin slot at the top, and the crack goes right through it. Both sides of the bank are angled downward towards the break. A handful of shining copper, silver, and gold coins are tumbling out. The background is red with a dark red paint splotch behind the pig. Faint white lines emanate from the pig at the edges of the canvas.

Today's Februdoodle illustration is of a piggy bank being broken, with coins spilling out below.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Inka brush for edge texture, the Old Brush paint brush and Soft air brush for shading, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

Februdoodle 2026 #17: Summer Snake

 Martin · 15 days
A cartoon illustration of a snake wearing a hat and sunglasses and holding a bottle of beer with his tail. The snake is smiling and his forked tongue is hanging out of his mouth. He is green with a lighter belly. His hat is blue and his sunglasses are shiny and black. The beer bottle is brown and being held at an angle. It has an obscured tan label on it and the beer can be seen sloshing around inside. The background is orange with a cut to yellow orange going across diagonally from top left to bottom right. There is a circle drawn in the upper region, behind the beer bottle and snake's head, to imply a sun.

For today's second Februdoodle, I drew a snake trying to stay cool for the summer. I'm finally caught up with my Februdoodle drawings - wahoo! 😄

If you watch the time-lapse below, you'll see that I had a couple of misfires before finally settling on this idea. I think I just felt a bit creatively spent after a full day's work plus doing a drawing earlier. My ideas for these aren't always the greatest, but they often take quite a bit of mulling over before I'm happy with a subject.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Chisel Nib Cleaner brush for linework, the Rough Dot Shader 45 Light brush for halftone shading, the Soft air brush for smooth shading, the Syrup brush for fills and other utility, and the Old Brush paint brush and Worn 2 Subtle and Worn 3 Bold brushes for background texture.

The Chisel Nib brush is from the Rusty Nib pack, the Rough Dot Shaer brush is from the Beat Tones pack, and the Worn brushes are from the Fast Grit pack. Those are all by True Grit Texture Supply.

Februdoodle 2026 #16: Shark Bite

 Martin · 16 days
A cartoon illustration of a large shark getting ready to eat an unsuspecting fish. The shark takes up the majority of the canvas, with a large, menacing mouth wide open and exposing jagged teeth and tongue. The shark is frowning and looking down between his jaws with red eyes. There is a small, round orange fish almost in the shark's mouth. The small fish is bug-eyed and has a silly U-shaped smile on its face. It has blue eyes. The background is a simple underwater scene, with light blue swishes of paint doing across, wavy plats rising up in the corners, and dark shapes of other fish swimming around. Bubbles rise around all parts of the scene.

For this Februdoodle illustration, I drew a shark getting ready to eat an oblivious fish.

Since I started working on this one a bit earlier than normal, I had more time to add some details - and I'm hoping it means I can do a second drawing later and finally get caught up! 😅

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, Soft air brush for shading, the Inka brush and Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for texture, and the Old Brush for background texture.

Februdoodle 2026 #15: Darkwing Duck

 Martin · 16 days
An illustration of a normal duck dressed as the Disney character, Darkwing Duck. The duck is white with a yellow bill. It is wearing a dark, wide-brimmed hat, a purple mask, a dark cape with pink underside, a purple jacket with large gold buttons on the front, and a green turtleneck underneath. The duck is just standing there looking like a duck. The background is a bold blue color with a moon-like, pale yellow glow coming in from the upper left.

For today's Februdoodle illustration, I thought it'd be fun to draw a regular duck dressed up as Darkwing Duck.

Part of the way through, I got the sense that I'd drawn something like this before, but I took a quick look through my iPad and couldn't find anything so... false alarm, I guess!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Soft air brush for some light shading.

Februdoodle 2026 #14: Don’t Be A Pill

 Martin · 17 days
An illustration of an orange medication bottle open, with the white cap flying off in the opposite direction. A number of round, shiny, pink pills are tumbling out into the air from the bottle. The pills have manic, open-mouthed happy faces on them. The background is a lime green color with a white burst of spray paint between the bottle and cap.

For today's Februdoodle illustration, I drew a bottle of pills dumping out into the air. They don't look too worried about it.

I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while but hadn't felt like drawing something so geometric until today. I'm obviously not always a perfectionist, but for some reason I have a really hard time letting go of imperfect geometry in drawings like this, and so I find myself avoiding them occasionally, until I'm in the right mood for it.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Chisel Nib Cleaner brush for linework, the Syrup brush for fills and other utility, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

The Chisel Nib brush is from the Rusty Nib pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.

Februdoodle 2026 #13: Podcasting Horse

 Martin · 18 days
A cartoon illustration of a horse yelling into a microphone. The horse's face is pushed forward and angled downward. His mouth is high and open wide, with tongue in air and spit coming out. He is frowning with one eye and has an intense look on his face. There is a word bubble coming from the horse with a skull, star, x, spiral, and pound sign in it. The horse is a light brown with a triangular white spot going down his nose and a dark mane. His eyes are red. The microphone is gray and shiny. The background is red with a puff of pink and white spray paint behind the horse.

Today's Februdoodle illustration is an angry horse yelling into a microphone for his podcast.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Fat Nozzle and Burst spray paint brushes for background texture.
