DIY PROJECTS: PUMPKINS + DOODLES = GIFTS

It's that time of the Pumpkin Season and I love pumpkins but I dislike carving them. Here's a better way to display your pumpkins without the hassle of cutting or carving anything. Not only it will look great, it'll last longer and it's an artwork that you created.

All you have to do is have some sharpie pens and a pumpkin.

You don't have to know how to draw, that's the beauty of doodling.  Enjoy!

Maria's - Doodle # 127-131

Julia's Doodle #150

I didn't want the last one to be the post-note, which in a way that's how I got my foot again in drawing. But here's another Wallpaper treat. Just click on the image and download to your computer. Have a great day!

The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do? ~Pablo Picasso

Julia's Doodle #142-150

I just couldn't wait for tomorrow. I just grabbed whatever I had in front of me and just doodled until the finish line. Sweet!

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand

I emailed Pilot Pen to see if they make a water resistant rollerball pen. They don't, but they did send me samples! I'm not sure what the difference is between the V5 I buy at Staples and the P-500 pens they sent me; they pretty much write the same. Too bad Pilot doesn't make a pen that's water resistant. Then I could be truly fulfilled as a doodle artist. Ah, well.

Waiting in the car in the Trader Joe's parking lot.
I didn't have a lot of paper so it was a little bit of a nail-biter: would I run out of paper and have to sit there with nothing to draw on? I tried to pace myself by doing longer drawings, but I got bored drawing cars and I had to take the opportunity to draw a couple of people. It's not something I'm familiar or comfortable with, but thanks to you I'm trying out new stuff all the time.



This guy was putting bags in his car. Why'd he have to get the job done in 2 seconds? Guess he didn't know he was my muse.


I love how I captured that woman's rear end (top right). The rounder people definitely seem easier to draw. I was rooting for more round bodies.

In traffic again on Friday, tried out both the Pilot V5 and the Sharpie Retractable. I preferred the thinner, more delicate line from the Pilot. I wasn't able to get as much detail with the Sharpie which made me draw the vehicles bigger, and I think I lost a lot of the quirkiness I got from the Pilot pen. I think the Sharpie ones look a little boring in comparison. I outlined the Sharpie car with a Medium Sharpie and I don't know if that improved it at all.
