Q Doodle Sketch Sanguine-Woman Reading to Birds

A quick little warm-up quirky doodle sketch with a Conte Sanguine pastel pencil in my mixed media sketchbook, done before painting some on a couple of works in progress!

New Quirky Doodle Sketches-People, Animals, and Fruit, Oh My!

I've had a rough couple or three days with teeth problems, among other stuff going on, and felt really low in spirit. These little quirky doodles always lift my spirits during the process, and I'm so thankful that God gave me a desire for art! It has saved me more times than I can count!

I got up early this morning and did this one. It took several minutes and pulling my glasses off to see the cat emerge, then the egg, nest, and bird followed intuitively. I love the sketch and will paint it at some point. Lyra non-soluble graphite crayon and Stablio marks all pencil in mixed media sketchbook. The first title was "That's What Friends Do!" , but I changed it to "Egg Sitting!" when I shared it on my FB art page. This little sketch makes me happy. Hope it makes you smile, as well!

I started this one several days ago. I couldn't see an image emerging, even after I went over it with a water brush pen, so I left it to simmer. Day before yesterday, I felt really low and picked it up again. Right away, the marks where her eyes are jumped out to me as eyes, then everything else kind of fell intuitively into place and she expressed my feelings perfectly at the time. Titled "She's Had Enough!" Lyra water-soluble graphite crayon in mixed media sketchbook.

This one was done a few weeks ago, but I left it as a line drawing. This week I practiced shading, which is REALLY a challenge to me on them with the Lyra water-soluble graphite crayon and added a rouge filter with photo editing, giving it a pinkish tint. No title yet! I like the simplicity of this.

Just some Gel pen sketching from imagination while I watched TV the other night. We had the closed captioning on, and the song lyric from the show, 100 Code, caught my attention. In case you can't read my "quirky" writing, it says, "Hard to forgive, Even harder to forget, Before you do something  you might regret, friend". True words! The heart is just some doodling marks.

When life and my thoughts conspire together to overwhelm and get me down, a while in my work space, as cluttered as it is, resets and renews my mind and my world, and that and God helps me to keep putting one foot in front of the other to carry on the best I can. I am thankful and blessed!

Keep doing what you love, and I hope something in this post made you smile! :D
