Well, I almost forgot, but today is the start of yet another Februdoodle - a project where I draw a new thing every day for the month of February.

This is my first drawing, which is just sort of the mood I'm in right now. I wanted to draw something a little crazier, but my son really likes seeing my drawings and he's just a little guy, so... I have to keep it a little PG. Most of the time, 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 background texture.

The halftone pattern shading was created using the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light and the Grainy Dot Shader 60/Light. Those brushes are from the Beat Tones pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.

Each day, I'll be posting a new image here on the blog, and adding it to the Februdoodle page.

Oh, and if you wanted to see how this one got made, check it out below:

Thanks for joining me on another illustration journey! 😊

For my last Februdoodle illustration, I decided to make a representation of the extra day, via cookies! 🤤🍪

I streamed this one on Twitch - thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and watch a bit. Whether you tuned in today or not though, I appreciate all the support throughout the month. It means a lot!

This project was a fun one and I'm happy to come away from it with another set of fun illustrations. I'll be taking a short break today and then... back tomorrow for Drawrch!

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 that's about it. You will see a lot of experimentation at the end with the background, but none of that made it into the final.

If you want to watch all of my 2024 Februdoodle illustrations get done, there's a YouTube playlist for that, here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx-veH80sJzh6ycF5MUvK7oEsSMiH4rvk

Today's Februdoodle is a wood pile! Based on a reference photo I took earlier today.

It being the 28th and all, normally this would've been the last in the series, but with this being a leap year, Februdoodle gets a bonus drawing tomorrow. Woohoo! 😀

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for just about everything else, and a small assist from the Soft air brush for background gradient.

Today's Februdoodle illustration is just a simple punk chicken.

For today's Februdoodle illustration, I drew a robot playing card!

I also tried out a new brush, the Technical Pen, and I really like it. It has a slightly softer edge than the Syrup brush, and the pressure is a lot less sensitive, so it's easier to get a more consistent line width on long strokes. The auto-smoothing is a little more aggressive than I'm used to, but I adapted pretty quick. I hope to find more uses for it soon!

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

Today's Februdoodle illustration was a quickie - only about 30 minutes from start to finish - of my Xbox controller (minus the Chatpad).

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for almost everything else, the Soft air brush for some light gradients, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

Here's today's Februdoodle - inspired by the epic amount of soccer our family gets up to some weekends. We had a fun time watching it today! ⚽

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 Hartz brushes for background texture, and the Soft air brush for shading. I'm posting each finished illustration at my website.

For today's Februdoodle illustration, I drew a cartoon pizza delivery man taking a bit out of a pizza (and looking a bit crazed about it). 🍕

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 minor detailing, and the Splatter spray paint brush and Hartz brush for background texture.

I was having a hard time coming up with something to do for today's Februdoodle illustration, so here's a still life. The colors looked a lot less garish on my iPad, but... I sorta like them. 😎

That's three weeks of illustrations done for this project!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for just about everything else, and a small assist from the Soft air brush and the Hartz at the end.
