I thought I had a simple idea for today's Februdoodle illustration - and I did! - but it took me so long to finish it. And I sorta think it needed even more work to really get it over the top, but it's late and I'm tired, and I'm done working on it.

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

This afternoon we were out for a walk and when we got back, I noticed an odd smell near the side of the house. I asked my wife to come out and confirm my suspicion, and sure enough: gas leak!

PG&E is outside our house right now fixing it, as they have been for the last hour, and it's probably not going to be done for another hour.

So aaanyway... here's today's Februdoodle illustration. Happy Valentine's Day! 🙃

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, the Syrup brush for helping do fills, the Soft air brush and Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush for shading, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

The Rusty Nib 1 brush and Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush are from the Rusty Nib pack and the Beat Tones pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.

I was listening to a podcast while I was brainstorming for today's Februdoodle illustration, and the host was talking about how egg prices aren't really going down. We've had a massive shortage here as well, due to avian flu, and it got me thinking about what chickens might look like these days. And of course they look like the Monopoly guy now, right? 😆

Today's Februdoodle illustration is all about keeping your bucket full. Inspired by a children's book we got for our son a while ago, and something we are way more attuned to than we used to be.

While I was settling down to draw today's Februdoodle illustration, I started listening to a show on YouTube. Someone off-handedly mentioned Bigfoot on the show, and that got my creativity going.

So here is Bigfoot, with a not-so-big foot. Apologies in advance to my metric friends out there. I didn't use centimeters on the tape measure because I didn't want to draw all those numbers. Pure laziness.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush for some light shading, and the Worn 1 - Bold brush for background grit.

Those brushes, aside from the Procreate Pencil, are from the Rusty Nib pack, the Beat Tones pack, and the Fast Grit pack, all by True Grit Texture Supply.

Today's Februdoodle illustration was inspired by our visit to a local Mexican supermarket, to pick up some yummy pastries. Conchas were one of many goodies we picked up there (and subsequently ate). It was a tasty afternoon! 😋

I got this done a little later than usual today, but here's today's Februdoodle illustration!

This is based on a story that is only partially true, because I definitely rode on a small carnival-style rollercoaster with my son today and not a single person fell out! 😎

The Number Munchers were my obsession back in elementary school. Now they are the subject of my seventh Februdoodle illustration!

That's the first week of Februdoodle done, and it sure went by quickly! I am already starting to feel my creativity strain a bit, but I think I will hit my stride soon enough.

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush for some extra shading, and the Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for a final bit of background texture.

The Rusty Nib 1 and Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brushes are from the Rusty Nib pack and the Beat Tones pack, respectively, by True Grit Texture Supply.
