Februdoodle 2024 #5: Aftermath

Martin · 290 days

Here's my fifth illustration for Februdoodle!

Yesterday there was a massive windstorm here, and this morning my son and I walked around the neighborhood observing the aftermath. Branches were everywhere, along with downed garbage cans, shingles, and other various debris. At least three fences were blown over, one massive tree was completely toppled, and one of my neighbors' roof got torn partly off!

So this drawing was inspired by all that. Hopefully it doesn't happen again anytime soon!

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

Today's Februdoodle was an idea that popped into my head last night: an artist and his child working side by side. I didn't think about the idea of leaving one canvas black until I started working on it, but I really like the idea of the child having less trouble just getting started on something. Especially as many of these illustrations start with me staring at a blank canvas for a long time.

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 texture.

Februdoodle 2024 #3: Mailbox

Martin · 292 days

Today's Februdoodle is a little late, so I didn't have that much time to think about what I might do, let alone to work on it. Still, I like how it turned out, though I do feel like it's missing something in the background. Oh well!

I was mildly inspired by the mailbox monster from the original Toejam & Earl game, and also from the mimic monsters found in various fantasy movies and games.

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 brushe for background texture.

Februdoodle 2024 #2: Hamburger

Martin · 293 days

I had a hamburger for lunch today, so I thought I'd draw one for Februdoodle. I'm glad this didn't happen at the restaurant! 😆

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 airbrush for gradients.

An illustration of a smiling cartoon poodle enthusiastically giving a thumbs up. The word "Februdoodle" is drawn in a lively font below. The letters are yellow and orange, and the poodle is a blue-ish gray with puffy, very pale blue fur.

Last year I started an illustration project in February called "Februdoodle", and I am continuing it this year! Each day I create a new a new doodle and post it online. No theme or stories, just (hopefully) fun.

My first Februdoodle drawing for 2024 is a Februdoodle Poodle. Maybe he can be the mascot? 😆

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 Fat Nozzle, Splatter, and Flicks spray paint brushes for background texture.

Inktober 2023 #31: Fire

Martin · 1 year

Here it is - my last drawing for Inktober 2023! The prompt for this one was "fire", and after really trying to come up with something fun, I landed on this.

I'm almost certain that I've done a dumpster fire illustration for a past project, but I need to get this one done and found a neat way to tie it into this year's Inktober set. Can you find it?

I had a great time doing this project. Thanks to everyone who has been following along throughout - I hope you've enjoyed watching it as much as I have making it. 😄 As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup and Inka brushes for linework, and the Hartz brush for background texture.

Inktober 2023 #30: Rush

Martin · 1 year

Here is my drawing for today's Inktober prompt, "rush".

I don't usually use the prompt words in my drawings, but I saw someone else's work where they created an 'R' in a sort of gilded/cloudy look, then added motion lines to it, and it inspired me.

I don't really draw motorcycles often and I hate to draw vehicles in general, so I was challenging myself, especially with the overhead oblique angle. I'm really happy with how the motorcycle and burnout smoke turned out though!

Just one more to go, whew! 😅

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, a modified Mercury brush for linework, the Syrup brush for some small details, and the Medium Nozzle and Fat Nozzle spray paint brushes for shading/texture. I also used the Soft air brush for fading some of the effects.

Inktober 2023 #29: Massive

Martin · 1 year

This is my illustration for today's Inktober prompt, "massive".

I had a pretty busy day today, so I had to power through this one. The shading is a little sub-par in my opinion, but I like how it turned out, and I like the composition of it.

I didn't spend a lot of time working out the proportions of the woman, so hopefully nothing looks too far off. 😅

Inktober 2023 #28: Sparkle

Martin · 1 year

Here's today's Inktober illustration, for the prompt "sparkle". It's a nice cold glass of water!

I didn't set out to make this one look realistic, and I drew it (mostly) without any references. When I got into doing the lighting and shadows though, I couldn't help myself and ended up doing a lot of little things that I see in my 3D renders. 😅

It probably would have turned out better if I had just kept it simple, but this is just how it turned out.

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 Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for shading, and the Flicks and Fat Nozzle spray paint brushes for texture.

Inktober 2023 #27: Beast

Martin · 1 year

Here's my Inktober illustration for today's prompt, "beast"!

I thought it'd be nice to have our beast just be a dude who ran out of coffee. The poor barista. 😔

This one started in one place and finished in a slightly different place, but I like how it turned out. The square canvas made the composition get a little boring near the bottom, but that doesn't take away from it too much.

As always, 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 Medium Splatter, Fat Nozzle, and Burst spray paint brushes for background texture.
