My fifteenth illustration for Februdoodle is a Pig in a Blanket!

I was in such a hurry to get my drawing posted yesterday that I completely forgot to note that it's already been two weeks for Februdoodle - yikes, It's a day past halfway over now!

As with my other drawings, 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 Decimals brush for background texture.

Here's my fourteenth illustration for Februdoodle, in honor of Valentine's Day: Cupid!

I was going for a Danny Devito-ish look on this one, because who needs another baby Cupid?

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 brush and Splatter spray paint brush for background texture.

Februdoodle 2023 #13: Clog

For my thirteenth illustration for Februdoodle, I drew a clog screwing up someone's shower.

This was one of those nights where I really struggled to come up with something to draw, and then once I got started and developed the idea, I'm still not sure if I like it. I think the colors look okay and the framing is good, and I like the overall illustration, but the dark black lines just aren't really doing it for me or something. It starts feeling a little too much like a schematic or something.

I also discovered that there's something that I hate drawing more than hands: feet. If you watch the time lapse below, you'll see that I re-did the foot 4-5 times before settling on something.

As usual, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, a slightly modified Mercury brush for line work, the Syrup brush for edge cleanup, and the Hartz, Tarraleah, and Grunge brushes for background texture. I also made use of the Liquify effect to make my water shading look a little more dynamic.

My twelfth illustration for Februdoodle is a Frisbee lying in the grass.

The weather here was beautiful today, and we got outside in the afternoon and threw the Frisbee around a bit. It was a little windy, so sometimes it was unpredictable, but it was still a lot of fun - and made me long for the spring.

My eleventh illustration for Februdoodle is Watcher, a man I saw at a local event on TV.

I was watching the local news this morning and there was some kind of Valentine's Day run/walk marathon going on nearby. I saw this guy in the background, running around, and I'm assuming, trying to help keep things orderly.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I used the Procreate Pencil brush for the sketch, the Syrup brush for the line work, and the Hartz and Decimals brushes for the background.

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

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.
