Here's my fifth illustration for Februdoodle!

Yesterday there was a massive windstorm here, and this morning my son and I walked around the neighborhood observing the aftermath. Branches were everywhere, along with downed garbage cans, shingles, and other various debris. At least three fences were blown over, one massive tree was completely toppled, and one of my neighbors' roof got torn partly off!

So this drawing was inspired by all that. Hopefully it doesn't happen again anytime soon!

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

Today's Februdoodle was an idea that popped into my head last night: an artist and his child working side by side. I didn't think about the idea of leaving one canvas black until I started working on it, but I really like the idea of the child having less trouble just getting started on something. Especially as many of these illustrations start with me staring at a blank canvas for a long time.

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 Inka brush for texture.

Today's Februdoodle is a little late, so I didn't have that much time to think about what I might do, let alone to work on it. Still, I like how it turned out, though I do feel like it's missing something in the background. Oh well!

I was mildly inspired by the mailbox monster from the original Toejam & Earl game, and also from the mimic monsters found in various fantasy movies and games.

I had a hamburger for lunch today, so I thought I'd draw one for Februdoodle. I'm glad this didn't happen at the restaurant! 😆

Last year I started an illustration project in February called "Februdoodle", and I am continuing it this year! Each day I create a new a new doodle and post it online. No theme or stories, just (hopefully) fun.

My first Februdoodle drawing for 2024 is a Februdoodle Poodle. Maybe he can be the mascot? 😆

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, Splatter, and Flicks spray paint brushes for background texture.
