For my ninth Februdoodle illustration, I drew a hairy hand holding a toothbrush. Gotta keep those teeth clean!

Like a lot of people who grew up around the same time as me, I used to watch Ren & Stimpy as a kid. There was a thing that the show did frequently, where the action would stop and you'd see a still, very detailed painting of something gross close up for a moment, usually accompanied by a shriek, a wolf howling, or something similar.

When I was young, I hated it, but as an adult, I think it's hilarious, and so I channeled that a little for my drawing today.

As usual, 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 Tarraleah brush for background texture.

Februdoodle 2023 #8: Hotdog

Martin · 1 year

For reasons unknown, my eighth illustration for Februdoodle is a hotdog!

I've been wanting to do some more simple drawings, and this one started that way... but I ended up adding too much detail in the end. Oh well, maybe next time!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, a slightly modified version of the Mercury brush for linework, and the Hartz brush for texture.

Well, that's a whole week of Februdoodle done already - the time sure does fly! This is my seventh illustration for the project, called Hamster Ball. This goofy hamster can't get balanced!

As usual, 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 Tarraleah brush, Decimals brush, and the Soft Airbrush for background texture.

My fifth illustration for Februdoodle is Hatosaurus, with three dinosaurs sporting some cool headwear.

Yesterday I asked my son what I should draw, and he wanted me to draw a dinosaur. I felt bad that I didn't oblige, so I made up for it today. I kinda wanted to work a comet into the background somehow (you can see this in the time-lapse), but I didn't want to change the composition around too much at the end.

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 Hartz and Grid brushes for background texture.

Here's my fourth illustration for Februdoodle, Fishin'. I was at a street fair earlier today looking at some prints, and I got inspired to do something a little simpler today. I was tempted to add a little grunge to the edges, but in the end decided against it, and I sorta like it being less noisy.

Welp, I think I'm gonna do a drawing challenge for February - which I've dubbed Februdoodle!

My first illustration is a cone trying its best to keep things orderly. I drew this one because my son is currently obsessed with cones, and I knew he'd get a kick out of it.
