I have no idea what a bookmark and a pumpkin have in common except when I went outside to take this picture I thought they looked kinda cute together. Working on my alpha-doodling and came up with this little pudgy lettering.
You can see it a little better in this shot. Not being one to do ANYTHING without adding a little color, off I went with my rainbow pneumonic of ROY G BIV. For those of you new to this it’s Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (purple), Violet (pink).
Had my doodle directory prints out for ideas, because I was going to need them on this next step.
The great thing about doing a background in just ONE color is…..you don’t have to think too much. You can just go with wherever the design takes you. No worries about shading/ highlighting, outfits for the birdies, “does the drawing look like the picture?”….you know…that kind of stuff!
This type of doodling is just sheer DELIGHT!!! Really! Give it a try if you haven’t already.
You’ve got one more day to submit your own CUSTOMIZED bookmark for the Bookmark Contest at D'blogala. Deadline is Friday 10/15.
The contest is not here….it's over at D'blogala. You’ve got to hurry and submit your bookmark by Friday, Oct. 15. I totally forgot about this, but thankfully Dawn posted a reminder recently. She’s giving away this book that she recently published.
Here’s my entry:
Since this is a “girl” Doodle diary book, I thought it best if I used some pinks!! If you've been following this blog, you know that pink and I don't see eye-to-eye when it comes to coloring things in. I will wear it, just can't draw with it. But since, I can draw with orange, reds and blues, I thought maybe pink would play well with these other colors, so far so good....I am relieved.
Looking a little bland here, had to spice it up a bit.
I thought the white lettering was a bit too boring. But I was unsure how much detail to put in such a small area.
Ok, you’ve got to admit it, this has some detail! Plus, it’s a little wild! Good thing I cut some extra 2 x 6 inch pieces, because I may make another one, entirely different, of course. This was a quick & fun doodle opportunity. Now You....Go get your Doodlin’ On, and submit one for yourself. What have you got to lose?
