Doodleish No:9 Calligrams ( a word or piece of text in which the design / layout of the letters gives visual reference to the word ) Over to my good friend and creative clever clogs @jennispangler.bsky.social

#doodleish 10 - a super simple prompt today - MONEY Invent some fictional currencies or sketch some real ones. That’s all I can think of to say about this one! Happy doodling! Over to you @chrismould.bsky.social

I did my negative space in black just to be contrary

#Doodleish no:9  'Negative space'.   🧵A compositional task that focuses on empty space around your image to enhance its effect. E.G: emphasizing a large empty room or as the example, a large open empty outdoor space. Have a go. It can be anything. Over to @jennispangler.bsky.social

I like this one, it’s good for a ‘not sure what to draw’ day

Here I am with today's #Doodleish no 7 : season 2. Illustrated song lyrics. Make it as simple /complex as you wish. Just draw out the words &/or, add more arty content. Here's one (with rough ideas) & some that I did ages ago. @jennispangler.bsky.social will respond with hers also...

Doodleish season 2 Prompt: 5 I've always loved illustrated envelopes so I thought we could have a go. You can use an actual envelope if you like. I've drawn mine on the page. Have fun. 'Send it/them' to whoever you want... @jennispangler.bsky.social will respond as always...

You’re not under time pressure with Doodleish. You can have fun with it whenever you want. Here’s me finishing @jennispangler.bsky.social ‘s prompt from Sunday. Next one is tomorrow at midday…

On the way back from my writing conference, #doodleish prompt 2 with my TWSBI Swipe fountain pen, a highlighter and a bit of pencil for the layout. Ink is Diamine Ancient Copper. Interesting thinking about books that influenced me in context of all the writing workshops I just finished.

My interpretation of today’s Doodleish alphabet prompt 😊 @jennispangler.bsky.social @chrismould.bsky.social

@chrismould.bsky.social Choose an everyday object and use your imagination to have fun with it… ! Yes! For me it has to be a book… #doodleish no. 3 #doodle #kleinekunstklasse #doodle #zeichnen #kritzelei @jennispangler.bsky.social

#doodleish prompt 4: All the children’s books last week made me nostalgic, so let’s go back to basics with our ABCs! Instead of A is for apple, B is for ball, create your own alphabet chart with any theme. I’ve done a gothic ABC (of course…) What’ve you got @chrismouldink?

Doodleish No:3 (season 2) Firstly, sketch an everyday object (in my case, a teacup), then use your imagination to have fun with your subject matter. It can be anything. No constraints. Turn it into a character, simplify it, decorate it, etc. @jennispangler.bsky.social will respond below...

I’ll arrive at midday with a prompt for doodleish. See you soon.

Next doodleish prompt at midday from @jennispangler.bsky.social It's a good one.

The desk looks very different today. Safe to say, I am 'faffing'...

Jenni's version of today's doodleish prompt. I love that she's in an old pottery factory and I'm in an old carpet factory. P.S. You don't need to draw an old factory.

Doodleish No: 1 (season2) With me n' @jennispangler.bsky.social Nice and steady to start with, working inside small squares/ rectangles. It’s a gentle way back onto the page without committing to a large / full or finished image. 🧵1/2

Join us at any point...

Join us if you can.

That's it for Halloween for another year. Just hanging the ghosts out to dry...
