Doodle 082 - Testing

What a weekend, we truly had a blast, but tonight I am exhausted.

We finally made it back home and now I better get ready for the week.

I was rather tired and really had to fight myself in order to do today's doodles... I really wanted to just go to bed or watch TV instead, but I decided to try and draw something.

I  have to keep experimenting with different drawing styles, and that's what I did today. I am not sure if I like these at all, but trying new things out and experimenting is what I need most right now.

Also, I have been thinking about doing a giveaway to mark the 3 month 0r maybe the 100th mark of doodling, I am just not sure what I would give away since I don't really consider any of my doodles good enough to give away yet.

I might work on a watercolor piece and use that as a prize, what do you guys think?

Anyway, here are today's doodles:

The Last Dragon Rider - blue, red and black mechanical pencil on plain Moleskine notebook. Aprox 15 mins

"Are you chewing the pencil lead again?" - red and black mechanical pencil on plain Moleskine notebook. Aprox 4 mins.

Rough Expression Test - red and black mechanical pencil on plain Moleskine notebook. Aprox 3 mins.

You know, until I came to read your blog, I actually didn't know mechanical pencils came in any colour other than, well, pencil colour. I like how you use the colour to suggest character and emotion.

Dear Saudade,

*I* know that I'd be thrilled to have any of your doodles/sketches as a giveaway prize. Especially one of your wispy, flowing ones.

I hope you're bundling up well for these cooler autumn mornings.

Take care and thanks (as always) for sharing your thoughts and artistry with us.

I think any one of your readers would be honored to have one of your sketches. You're an amazing artist, and I'm so glad that I found your blog!

Oh wow, I love the dragon rider! So very cool. I'd like to see your version of a whole dragon one day. Hint, hint? ;)

Plus, I think the idea of a giveaway is fantastic. Anyone would be proud to have one of your doodles, especially those of us who have been cheering for you from the beginning or close to it.

I would love to have one of your drawings actually, your style is gorgeous...delicate, flowing, detailed. Just what I like! (A watercolor would be amazing also, I love those!)

Hmmm, I think you should set up an Etsy store!
