Februdoodle 2025 #20: Pizza Party

 Martin · 7 hours
An illustration of a slice of pizza. The pizza has gooey yellow cheese melting in drips down the edge. It has red slices of pepperoni, black olives, and green peppers strewn on top of the cheese. The crust is tan and has a slight texture to it. The pizza is casting a hard black shadow onto the background, which is a light blue plaid pattern.

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.

Februdoodle 2025 #19: Moco

An illustration of a large nose with a stream of mucus coming out. The stream falls down, twists up unnaturally, then arcs back downward again. At the apex of the arc is a small, round creature with a happy face, two stubby antennae, and arms and legs splayed out, riding the wave of snot. The nose has a light complexion, with redness around the nostril. The mucus stream is a bright green that gets lighter as it goes on. The creature is yellow with red eyes and mouth. It has tiny fangs in its mouth as well. The background is a light brown that fades to gold behind the creature.

Today's Februdoodle illustration is a reflect of the last week and a half for me. I'm pretty tired of being sick right now... but thankfully it feels like it's finally going away again. 🥴

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.

An illustration of a strange figure sticking up out of a hole and looking very nervous. The figure is a stubby white shape with large eyes, a wide downturned mouth, worried-looking wrinkles on its forehead, and two small arms and hands fidgeting in front. Its eyes are red with white pupils. The hole is black on a bright red planet surface, and the background is black dotted with white and red stars.

Today's Februdoodle illustration is a little strange, but I like it that way.

Household duties coupled with some late-running work left me with not a lot of time to work on this, but I actually like that sometimes - it forces me to make choices and commitments that I might not otherwise make. To the art's benefit, more often than not!

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for a few fill assists, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, and the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush for shading.

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

Februdoodle 2025 #16: Part of a Balanced Breakfast

 Martin · 4 days
An illustration of a cereal box and cereal bowl sitting amongst a swath of other breakfast foods. The box says "sugar o's" on it and has a depiction of a bowl of cereal. It is orange with yellow lettering. The bowl of cereal standing in front of it is filled to near overflowing with tan cereal O's, which are sparkling. The bowl itself is white with two blue stripes going around the top, near the rim, and a spoon sticking out on the right. In the background is a glass pitcher of milk. In the foreground is a glass of orange juice, two oranges, a cluster of grapes, a banana with banana slices on a small plate, a bottle of pills with three capsules resting nearby, a plate with a fried egg, a napkin with two pieces of toast, and a half of a grapefruit. The background is a glowing teal color that fades to a slightly darker color behind the cereal box.

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.

Februdoodle 2025 #14: Fooosh

 Martin · 6 days
An illustration of a metal pipe with a small hole in it, leaking out a gas cloud. The word "fooosh" is in cascading block letters tumbling down over the cloud. The pipe is a dull gray and has a connecting gasket around the bottom, the gas cloud is a pale blue, the lettering is green, and the background is a pale yellow that fades to a green-blue color near the bottom. There is a very faint burst of white spray paint behind the area of the pipe that is leaking.

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.

Februdoodle 2025 #13: A Million Clucks

 Martin · 7 days
An illustration of a chicken wearing a top hat, bowtie, and suit top with a cuffed shirt underneath, in the style of the Monopoly guy illustrations of old. The chicken has a slightly evil smile on its face. It is a very pale brown with yellow beak and legs. The top hat and suit are black, the cuffed undershirt is white, and the bowtie is red. The background is orange with a slight golden glow behind the chicken.

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? 😆

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Soft air brush for background gradient, and the Syrup brush for everything else.

Februdoodle 2025 #11: Full Bucket

 Martin · 9 days
An illustration of a bucket being carried by a hand. The bucket is black with a happy smile on it. The hand is white with black lines for details, holding the bucket by a curved handle. The Bucket is filled with colorful shapes that are trailing out and to the right, tapering off. The background is a bright green, with a white paint spatter behind everything.

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.

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