Lost in a Doodle



Sometimes you'll be amazed of what you might create from a doodle. I chose to start at a corner, then continue adding more and more element. No need to rush, you may stop anytime, and resume anytime...or anywhere. All you need to do is let yourself submerged and lost in a doodle. The above illos is the doodle I made yesterday. The colored version is achieved by a simple tweak (enhanced hue, contrast and saturation). The original looks a bit dull and pale.

While sitting in the car last night, I continue scribbling on the empty spaces. This morning I proceed with the coloring (arrived so early at the office today) and....

Tadaa!!

Finished : 13 x 18 cm on a yellowish acid free paper (original)

...Hm, how about a boost in contrast and saturation?


Okay, try to create your own "lost-in-a-doodle". Let me know when you finished posting it. I will link your post to this entry.

halo nindya.
makasih ya kerna mampir. nice to meet u too.

hi debbie,
yeah let's doodle!

hi faisal,
thanks for your support. hehe. hm, mmg kalau di pejabat saya selalu guna lunch hour utk melukis atau mengukir stamp. waktu petang pun masih ada masa sebab hubby selalu habis kerja lambat. kdg2 saya guna masa menunggu di dalam kereta untuk melukis atau mengukir stamp juga. Macam doodle ini, mengambil masa dua hari untuk siap, padahal kecil saja. sebab itulah akhir2 ini saya selalu buat ATC saja dan guna warna pensil sebab lebih handy.

Faisal Admar said...

Lol better than me. Saya akan ambil 1 bulan kot untuk siapkan lukisan begini. So, tak lunch lah? :)
