Morning doodle. As with all my doodles, this one started out with a random mark. I had no idea it would evolve into what feels like a landscape—like looking out from inside the mouth of a cave on a barren landscape. Like what you might find on a planet like Ilus, perhaps? (For fans of The Escape, which […]

#tuesdaytutorial How to draw a Christmas caroler! Last week I showed you how to draw #learning or reading. Someone commented that the same drawing could also represent singing… But I knew a circle for an open mouth, plus a couple of musical notes 🎶 would make that distinction even more clear.

A hippo taking a bath. Of course. This is from today’s LinkedIn post: If you’re generating lackluster ideas, maybe you need to warm up first! Athletes warm up before an event. Musicians play scales.

When I do an abstract doodle, I let my inner 4-year-old inhabit the tip of my pen. Often, what she’s doing doesn’t make any sense. It’s WEIRD! It’s UGLY! It’s BIZARRE! It’s embarrassing, for goodness sake! 🖍 None of that matters. My inner 4-year-old doesn’t care about ANY of that. She’s FOUR!!!! 🖍 All she cares about is […]
