On that last day of this year's Februdoodle, I realized that I hadn't done a robot drawing yet, so here it is!

I had the idea of doing a robot with his head flying off pretty early in my brainstorming, so I thought it might be fun to draw Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. The problem is, I never owned those as a kid, so that felt a little inauthentic, and the thought of drawing two robots and then coloring them in monochrome felt boring.

So, I made up a robot instead! You can't see a lot of him, but just enough to get an idea for what the rest of him might look like, I think. In any case, I think he's a fitting end to this year's project!

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 shading, the Worn 4 Subtle brush for adding distress. And although you can't really tell that I used it, I used the Syrup brush for a lot of the fills where I wanted to make sure the color was solid.

The Rusty Nib 1, Rough Dot Shader 45/Light, and Worn 4 Subtle brushes are part of the Rusty Nib pack, the Beat Tones pack, and the Fast Grit pack respectively, all by True Grit Texture Supply.

This project flew by, and as always, I had fun doing it! I hope you enjoyed seeing each illustration and perhaps even watching them get made. I'll be back tomorrow for another project: Drawrch.

Until then, thanks for tuning in!

Today's Februdoodle illustration is something I was thinking about earlier today: an unexpected situation drawn in the style of the old iPod commercials from the 2000's.

Initially, I thought it might be a cool idea to draw a person doing something deranged, like burying a body or something, late in the evening I had this idea and knew it would be more fun to draw, so I ran with it. I spent a lot of time learning to draw Sonic the Hedgehog back when we got a Sega Genesis for Christmas one year, so it was nice to find some of that old muscle memory and flex it for just a moment.

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 Studio Pen brush for the more uniform linework, and the Soft air brush for some very faint shading in the background.

I like occasionally drawing people from absurd shapes, and that's exactly what I did with today's Februdoodle. I've done similar images for other projects before, with a very mis-matched man and woman together in a portrait, and I always end up making the woman tower over the man. Not sure why!

Anyway, 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 Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for texture.

Today's Februdoodle illustration is of another inside joke with my wife and son: Lizard Milk.

My son once saw a lizard try to sneak into my wife's office, and ever since it grew into a character that we frequently throw into stories, pretend like he's coming along with us on trips, etc. One such trip was to the grocery store, and since my wife, my son, and I all drink different types of milk, it seemed only natural that we have the lizard buying his own "lizard milk" as well. 😆

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

Today's Februdoodle illustration is a worried marshmallow with a small roasted portion on the back of it. I almost feel bad for it, but roasted marshmallows are just too yummy.

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 shading.

I started this Februdoodle illustration wanting to draw a cartoon fly, and then changed course and drew a coffee mug instead! 😵‍💫

I'm starting to get a little nervous about March's drawing project, Drawrch. I've had to crunch a lot of these Februdoodle drawings because I don't always have a ton of time for drawing in the evening. With Drawrch, I do portraits every day, and those usually take a pretty good amount of time, so... we'll see, I guess! 😅

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, the Soft air brush for the steam fade, and the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush for shading.

That last brush is from the Beat Tones pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.

Today's Februdoodle is of a polite little dog flying a plane with an important message trailing behind.

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 a little bit of shading, and the Inka brush for the clouds.

When I create Februdoodle illustration, I don't usually like copying and pasting large parts of the sketch, but this idea really called for it. I like making silly stuff like this! 🤪

That's three weeks down, and only one to go, by the way.

This project has been speeding by! 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 texture.

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

I've been wanting to make a Februdoodle illustration like the one I did of a paper airplane a few years ago for Inktober 2022 but I never really had a good idea for what the subject matter ought to be.

Today, I randomly got the idea to draw a pizza slice and as soon as I started drawing, I knew this was going to be similar. It's mostly just the isometric angle of the pizza slice and the hard black shadow, but it's pretty close, I'd say. And it sorta makes me hungry, too. 😅

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 a little background texture.
