Still going strong!

Despite the lack of posting and scanning there has been no lack of doodling. I worked on finally getting the doodles I've done this month ready to scan. If I darken one page every day I should be done by the end of the week, and that is taking into account that by then there will be one more page than there is right now due to the doodles I do between now and then. So hopefully there will be a barrage of doodles for you on Saturday or Sunday, possibly sooner since that page every day thing was just an example of a timetable, I think I'll get it done faster than that but I'm not making any promises. I have noticed that the 'hopefully' scenarios haven't exactly come to fruition this month. I haven't even been able to get to the arcade to play DDR, due to the combination of health and being busy with school and family. So that's it for now, just wanted to let you know that I haven't given up or anything, just having trouble with getting the doodles to where you can enjoy them too.

Sorry

Still didn't get around to getting those doodles filled out. I'm thinking of just scanning in what I've got so far and worry about quality later. Anyway I've been trying to simplify the designs a little bit, lately only using two or three lines. Mom thinks I should do the alphabet, like calligraphy. Not sure how that would work with the asymmetrical letters though. Also thinking of other ways to mix it up while staying in the rules I've made for myself. Also thinking about what to do next, got some ideas for 365 snakes, cause snakes are awesome ;-D.

A short update

Sorry I didn't get around to scanning last weekend, I had a sprained thumb that made it difficult to put enough pressure on the pencil to get good lines. I will work on getting all (or most) of my doodles taken care of this weekend. I also have a nice diatribe about my health that I will write soon for anyone who cares. Have a good day.

Swirly doodle #52

I realy like the way the top of this one form some kind of unraveled  four stranded braid. To me that is the coolest part of the way this turned out in the end, though I definitely like the spiky bits at the bottom as well. Don't know what else to say about this one so here it is.

Swirly doodle #51

Yesterdays was one that's been in my head for a while: stating with the opposing three-pointed bits. The problem was figuring out what to do from there. I don't think it turned out horribly, and I like the figure eight in the center. I think it could have been better though... oh well it's still okay. It was tough however, for some reason it was very hard to get it not to look lopsided, and I still think it does a bit, which isn't helped by the fact that it was drawn slightly off the vertical axis of the sketch book. Oh well... again. Whatever, enough of my babble, here it is.

Swirly doodle #50

And here's today's. This one took a long time to get even close to looking right. This is my first attempt at a pinwheel type design, and boy was it difficult. It was my first and may also be my last. It depends on how I feel on other milestone doodles (100, 150 etc). I'm very happy with how it turned out though, I almost left it as just the two crossing football/almonds and the part coming off of them, but I added the part where the points meet in the center, which I think looks pretty good, though I could have left it alone, and I almost did. Oh well, I like it, even if the parts meeting in the center kind of look like a swastika when you follow them outward... I also just noticed, if you look at it from a distance it looks like a hashtag, only tilted the wrong direction.

Swirly doodle #49

From yesterday, November 2nd. Angry face with wacky hairdo, or horns. That bottom right triangular shape is a little smaller than the one on the left, made symmetry that much harder for everything else following that starting shape.

Swirly doodle #48

From November 1st, I think it's some sort of alien bug. This is the first time I used those oval shapes separate from each other like that, I really like how it turned out. This one also has a little more width to it, unlike most which end up being taller than they are wide.
