I actually woke up on time and managed to fit a work out very early in the morning. Whenever I exercise like I should, my brain seems to work much better, overall if I exercise early in the morning before the rest of the day wears me down.
The first doodle happened pretty easily, I was at the office working on some projects, when suddenly, I had this image stuck in my head. Before it disappeared I grabbed the first thing that was nearby and doodled this:
 |
| "A little birdy told me" - Ballpoint pen on standard size post-it note. Aprox 3 minutes. |
After I got home I went back to drawing, first a quick warm-up doodle:
 |
| Light as Air - Graphite and mechanical pencil on plain Moleskine notebook. Aprox 5 minutes. |
Finally I drew inspiration from real-life sea dragons and created an slightly more fantastic version:
 |
| Actual Weedy Sea Dragon - via dive gallery |
 |
| Fantastic Sea Dragon - Graphite and mechanical pencil on plain Moleskine notebook. Aprox 20 mins. |

Love your "scribbles!"
I ended up buying a couple of those Kuru-Toga mechanical pencils and the stubby lead-holder thingie that you'd posted about earlier. Love 'em! And now *I'm* "scribbling" more, too!
Thank YOU for the inspiration to get back into drawing!
Sea dragon!!! I love it!!
*Squeee!!*
Sea dragon!
Can I get a giant one with a saddle? For realz? I'd be like a BA Ariel!
Gorgeous. That's really all I've got. I too draw - mostly portraits - but I wish I could capture the movement of the lines like you do. Just breath taking:)
@IMQTPI: Yay! Happy to hear you are drawing more and that my reviews were helpful.
@Michelle: :-D awesome!
@Victoria: That would be a pretty cool sight!
@Lauren: Thanks, I am trying to make my drawings more dynamic, they can get very stiff, so keeping loose and fluid is my goal at the moment.
