Warning: Doodles

Hi, I'm Mark. I have moved. My main blog is almondvaledeer now and main art blog is da-doodle-demon.

I'm absolutely in love with The Ancient Magus' Bride! You can probably guess who my favorite is :3

That feeling when finals are next week, and your stress starts to creep up, intensify, and slowly drag you down into it’s dark abyss. Doodling before and in between classes helps to relax :)

Some more doodles. This is my khajiit character Mahjiitza. Skyrim will never die!

A ref sheet for my fursona Almond Vale the Deer. This is the first piece I've done digitally, so it's not the greatest lol I'm learning though :)

I ended up doodling on my notes when I took a break from studying. I've been playing WAY too much Skyrim. xD I'll probably draw a better version later. :P

[the-doodling-demon]

Guess who's been watching old movies again? :D Ever since I first watch Alien, I always wanted a pet xenomorph even though it would probably kill me xD Anyway, sorry that I haven't been active lately. All my classes gave me major assignments at the same time. Hopefully I'll have more time to doodle now :)

Art things I wish I knew earlier #4

Remember the 3 C’s. I use this when I’m stuck with a piece. Something I thought of.

Chaos, Control, Contrast.

Chaos - Sometimes you want some randomness is a piece, whether it be lines, elements, or tones. This will bring some organic feelings and looks to your work. Think of the way a tree grows, it’s very unique and random to some degree. One way to achieve this is to use your non-dominant hand to draw the lines. Or to close your eyes. Or to change your grip to be further away from the tip of your pencil/pen/etc. Use light pressure and then choose out the lines you want to commit to.

Control- Too much chaos without control will make the piece too hectic. So you want to make sure you have everything in control. This means having some composition and gesture in your artwork. Where do you want the viewer to look at first and last. How do you want to lead the eye? Think about the gesture/energy of your work, it should be “flowy” lines for the most part.

Contrast- This is another important aspect of an art work. Contrast amongst different elements such as tones and lines. Generally speaking, you don’t want evenness amongst your tones, it will be hard for the viewer to see what’s going on. For example, imagine your whole piece was 90-100% black- the piece will be vague and confusing. But if you put a small element of 10-20% white, it will draw the viewer’s eye there instead. Or if your whole artwork was made up of lines in a certain angle, you can put some other lines with different angle to make some difference.

Like/Reblog/Share with friends/people if this helps! The more people I know are being assisted, the more motivation I have to write these things.

Throughout the summer, I wish for it to be cold. When winter finally comes around, I immediately regret that wish xD

[the-doodling-demon]

Halloween is the best! :D  And apparently I'm a vampire all the time xD I can't help it that the sun is a jerk.

Just some practice doodles of my fursona, Lorcan the Púca.
