Day 13. Doodle

Hello Friends, Happy Wednesday to you. Let’s jump right in. I need to get to bed at a decent time tonight lol.

I was in the mood for some doodles so I dug up this unfinished piece. (The background  was watercolored during another coloring challenge here.)

The sides of the shirt are off center a bit but, the pattern tricks the eye and one doesn’t notice it. As always I am happy you stopped by. Hugs, Kathy

    Can’t wait to see this done! That crooked neckline COULD BE a neck issue she is having! LOL OR TMJ as the shoulders draw up some, making the neckline off? 😉 HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY, Kathy!!! 😉

      You are too funny, Becky! Your comment made me totally laugh out loud. Thank you for the giggles 🙂

    Oh my, Kathy what awesome. I don’t like to doodle myself (only when I am on the telephoon LOL) but I like to see this! Curious how you are going to colour that.
    Thank you for sharing, hope you got in bed in time (LOL) and see you tomorrow.

      Try doodling some of your favorite images on a card you are working on (like whatever your “go-to” doodle is when you are on the phone, Henriette). That was how I started and now it is difficult to stop. So calming and fun 🙂

    Honestly Kathy, you should be “doodling up” a colouring book to sell. People like myself who can’t draw would buy it! You “doodle” the basic images and we try and fill it in with our own “doodles”! It would be a great way for us to de-stress….you’d be doing us a favour! 😉 😉 😉

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      I am sure you can doodle, Teresa! Start with your simplest favorite doodle…wonky scallops, a simple daisy, a little ladybug, perhaps? It can be an addiction…you could create your own coloring book, my sweet and talented friend 🙂

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Pam, I am sure your doodles are fine! We are always our own worst critic. Start with fun wonky scallops 🙂

    Fantastic tip ! Thank you very much. Just guess it’s like an optical illusion to trick the brain. A lot of my wonky drawings might get saved after all – yeah !!! Let us see this when it’s finished Kathy.x

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Yes, Andrea! Please save your wonkiest doodles…it really is part of the fun. We are always the most critical of our own work. But I find that other people don’t see the “flaws” that really aren’t flaws, but rather just a difference in what we had pictured in our head when we started creating. Others don’t “see” what we originally pictured in our mind’s eye.

    I am so bad at doodling! I did some on a card I posted here & I don’t like it. I know I can do it but I never like how it looks when I do it. Did you do the whole thing? I took 4 years of art in high school & was exempt from my exam one year. Drawing was not my thing at all! In my art class we made Lino cuts. We used an exacto knife to cut them out & my teacher had plenty of band-aids for me. It’s a wonder I don’t have scars. I had no idea that Lino cuts were how you make rubber stamps! In fact, It was the early 70’s so I had never stamped before. We used a brayer to put ink on it or paint, I don’t remember & then used it on paper. I wish I had that stamp now.
    I hope we can see it all finished!

      Gail, I don’t think anyone is bad at doodling! Start with fun wonky scallops…they can never be bad. The wonkier, the better 🙂
