Doodle No. 176 Today was a bit busier than I would've liked, so in lieu of anything ambitious: form practice.

Doodle No. 175 I knew the red from yesterday's doodle would bleed through to the other side, so today's just for trying things out. Still trying to get a consistent bead on frog girl.

Doodle No. 174 #SIGNALIS

Doodle No. 173 Some kinda wizard.

Doodle No. 172 #DesertRose #DesertRoseTheSnowApocalypse It's that girl (Irene Sanders) from that one AMV that the YouTube algorithm mysteriously sent you.

Doodle No. 171 Discord really liked the "Tired frog lady," so here she is again. Her side profile could use some work, but that's what this is all about.

Doodle No. 170 #Juneteenth "Brave" Bessie Coleman, the first African-American woman (and Native American period) to hold a pilot's license.

Doodle No. 169 Practice, practice.

Doodle No. 168 #Umineko Perspective is tricky.

Doodle No. 167 When the post-travel lethargy hits.

Doodle No. 166 Don't worry, she has a permit. I don't approve of smoking in the real world - it's bad for your health and bad for others - but I'm fond of the vibe it gives off in visual language: reckless but laid back, which feels appropriate for a character who practices casual nudity.

Doodle No. 165 Confidence goes a long way when traveling in the nude. You know what's difficult to draw when you don't have the perfect reference angle? Hammocks.

Doodle No. 164 Airport posture.

Doodle No. 163 Sorry friend, but I have already depicted you as the idle doomscroller and myself as the unbothered elbow-holder; victory is mine. I spent most of the day in transit (and will likely spend most of tomorrow in transit as well), so it seemed best just to practice today.

Doodle No. 162 Smoke break on a pedestrian overpass.

Doodle No. 161 #TheGreenKnight IMDB would have you believe this film is middling at best, but I am here to tell you it's great and you should see it.

Doodle No. 160 #DragonBall #DragonBallZ #DBZ I didn't grow up with Dragon Ball, but an old friend of mine convinced me to read the manga and this bit with Mercenary Tao is probably my single favorite joke in the whole series.

Doodle No. 159 I was charmed by this old woman's smile.

Doodle No. 158 This lady's elbow caused me an unreasonable amount of frustration, to the point I opted to skip her other arm.

Doodle No. 157 A friend asked me to guest star in his D&D campaign, but time was limited and we didn't want to slow things down with a big introduction. We were at a carnival so this was my suggestion. It was accepted. Him Tigg Tallhat, halfling wizard. He does birthday parties and funerals.

Doodle No. 156 Facial Hair Friday.

Doodle No. 155 Don't shoot the banjo player.

Mermaid on a Mission, a short 3-page comic by me, including the one-off doodle that lead to the rest.

Doodle No. 154 And the pay-off.

Doodle No. 153 A cunning plan.

Doodle No. 152 Mermay may be over, but inspiration knows no season.

Doodle No. 151 #Mermay Someone told me May was the month to draw mermaids, so I decided I should finally sneak one in. I gave her large eyes to navigate the dark and shark-like teeth because it looks cute.

Doodle No. 150 #KurtVonnegut "Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow."

Doodle No. 149 Someone picked up on my fondness for drawing girls with cigarettes and suggested I draw this girl with a cigarette. That bench may be the single worst piece of furniture I've ever had to draw in my entire life.

Doodle No. 148 #GameofThrones #GoT This was supposed to be Tywin Lannister, but I accidentally gave him a thicker beard and head of hair, so now it looks like Jorah Mormont wearing Tywin Lannister's clothes. I missed Game of Thrones when it was new, but my sister convinced me to watch it.

Doodle No. 147 You will die in Hirohiko Araki's lifetime.

Doodle No. 146 I wanted to practice expressions and consistency today, and my brain served up the image of a girl watching various iterations of herself on television while shrouded in darkness, so you don't know how she's feeling right now. Her hairstyle was decided after everything else.

Doodle No. 145 #Riddick #PitchBlack I dislike traveling long-distance by airplane. I find it difficult to sleep or do anything that requires actual concentration. In-flight movies, as always, are the cure: specifically action movies I don't need to think too hard about.

Doodle No. 144 Decided to draw an airport corridor, then a busker, then a street with people - I guess we're not an airport anymore - and finally a spooky stranger. Sometimes that's just how it is.

I will be traveling over the next few weeks, and while this will not prevent me from drawing every day it may prevent me from uploading every day. Rest assured, when I have a minute, I will catch you up on what I've drawn, but there may be a few gaps in between.

Doodle No. 143 That classic Audrey Hepburn head tilt.

Doodle No. 142 Concept for a D&D town spanning a bridge. Pyromancers pay extra to cross (the whole place is a fire hazard) and there's a thriving cottage industry of bridge-dwelling fishermen using nets to catch fish, toll jumpers, and skinny dippers.

Doodle No. 141 #Misericorde Nuns have fun.

Doodle No. 140 #Umineko If the Internet has taught me anything, likes, success, and popularity can be mine so long as I continue to draw old men.

Doodle No. 139 #PaintYourWagon My dad talked us into watching this movie by billing it as a musical staring Clint Eastwood that had to be seen to be believed, but Lee Marvin stole every scene he was in.

These sketchbooks never lay as flat as they do on the first and last pages, so the decision to draw a spread was an easy one. Monument Valley served as the reference point, though that is not necessarily exactly where this is.

Doodle No. 138 It's a spread; maybe more.

Doodle No. 137 I haven't yet decided if this will be a stand-alone piece, the first half of a spread, or the start of a story, but I suspect we'll learn which it is in due time.

A fresh new book. Clean, untouched. Time to fill it with nonsense.

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Doodle No. 136 And with that, my first sketchbook is finished. "Now we’ll conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t own a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our ass!" Part 2 of 2.

Doodle No. 135 Ilya Repin is one of my favorite painters, and Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks is one of my favorite paintings, so with two pages left in my little book I thought I'd give it a go. Part 1 of 2.

Doodle No. 134 From the same conversation that lead to yesterday's doodle, a different friend requested Dean from Supernatural for their wife's birthday. When it comes to wrinkles in clothing, you have to commit to the bit. The first few felt like mistakes, but it all came together in the end.

Doodle No. 133 The girl who climbed the tower in Doodles No. 96-111. A friend told me they'd like to see her again, so here she is. Definitely a character I'd like to revisit once I've gotten better at drawing musculature. Free climbing requires incredible upper body strength.

Doodle No. 132 Hands, hands, hands.
