Sometimes when I don’t have time to seriously draw I doodle simple (usually abstract) shapes, scan and color them and save in one of my “work in progress” folders. Usually I find those simple drawings useful as additional layers when composing my illustrations.
( If you’re interested about the way I make my illustrations you can read about it here.)
So here are few of those simple doodles I made lately which may or may not end up as part of actual illustrations : )

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty uneventful and laid-back (which I loved) and spent mostly making things, eating good food and listening to obscure 90′s punk rock bands! Yay!

*stuff I made over the weekend*
*big doodle*
Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing than drawing a big pattern! I felt like I needed to get rd of some stress this weekend so I doodled this big piece (it’s 30×40 cm) and it was very therapeutic.
*messy cards*
In art, I love seeing accurately drawn, clean (and usually uninterrupted ) lines and I’m always striving to better the quality of lines in my work and to draw them with confidence. But sometimes, I also feel like taking a break from accuracy and control and just want create messy stuff : ) So, a couple of days ago I took a bottle of ink and dipped a grill stick into it and started drawing and making messy lines on cards. Later I colored them with crayons and ended up with fourteen messy cards, different than my usual style.
*gift tags*
I also made some gift tags using mini prints of my illustrations and ended up turning one of them into a key chain.

Some of the original sketches for my book. Some of them are already scanned, colored and used in final illustrations, some are still waiting for their turn.

Everyone loves pancakes. Well, at least this dog does. I do too. I tried “chubby pancakes” ( or American pancakes as I call them as opposed to skinny ones a.k.a. crepes) first time this Winter when Arlen made them and I loved them!

I wish it would rain soda… but instead it’s raining, well, rain.
And, as you’ve probably guessed by my latest posts this is yet another page from my sketchbook.
I wish you all wonderful weekend!

Here is another page from my sketchbook. In lately I’ve been enjoying simplicity and a lack of color in my drawings.
