simple times

*a study in shape and color*

Sometimes drawing simple, colorful ( and retro) shapes is the most fun thing to do.

 

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 : )

alkaLINES and Noodles Mountain

Another collaboration with Alkaline Samurai, he drew the colorful lines and I made the Noodles Mountain.

 

 

Video of my mini Moleskine notebook filled with drawings.
I had a lot of fun filling my mini Moleskine notebook with drawings and doodles, I did it in breaks between some more “serious” drawing, painting and running errands. All of the drawings are done from imagination without any pre-sketches or strict ideas of what I’m going to draw. I used a lot of metallic colors, mainly silver and gold and enjoyed combining bight blues, greens and pinks. The colorful the better :)

Since I often try to depict woods or forest in my illustrations and I’m a fan of simplified, abstract shapes I frequently attempt to find different simple ways to sketch a shape of a tree. Here are few of my doodles, experiments in how to represent woods in an (almost) abstract way.

abstract thought

Cat is having an abstract thought and doesn’t know how to share it with his feline friend.
On the other hand, I had no abstract thoughts today just many specific ideas on how to spend beautiful weekend (and national holiday) that is ahead of us.
Have a great Friday!
