Today I just want to share one single spread in my so called doodle book. I’ll write more about what a “Doodle book” is to me another time, but simply put, it’s just a sketchbook where I don’t sketch but just allow myself to doodle. Patterns, forms, flowers, birds, lettering, anything that pops into my brain really.
This time it was a bunch of flamingos, an entire Flamingo family actually. They just turned up and I loved simply drawing them out with a black ink pen, filling the page.
The Flamingo family kept growing as they gathered on the page. A Flamingo uncle and a mom handing over her baby to a cousin that did not want to engage in baby-bird care at all. Then I added plants and flowers to fill the page. It was a blast!
And I decided to also color the doodles.
Coloring pens; a magenta, a peach color and a neon pink marker.
I love using just a few similar colors like this. I also decided against coloring in everything. I just kept going until I felt happy about the page (even though I did not add green to the leaves):
Two details from the doodle spread. Baby birdy Bud hanging on to dad shaking a leg, and an aunt Flamingo balancing the slackline (probably after a few too many drinks) at the Flamingo Family Gathering Garden Party.
I hope there’s a party in your sketchbook / doodle book / journal as well!?
