Outtakes from Yesterday and a Sentient Fuzzball

Today's piece of art is what happens when I have only two minutes to art and a pen with a highlighter on one end to do it with. I call him Fred.

And now, as promised, the outtakes from yesterday, with no modifications to colour. Here's what was going on on the rest of the paper my drawing was on:

The other doodles were things I was considering to be a part of the whole thing, the writing is from when I was trying very hard to make that darn pen to work, and all the random swaths of colour are from testing pencil crayons to see if their colour matched the one in my head.

But you're wondering what on earth all that writing says, so here's everything rotated so that you can read that block of text. You'll have to open it in a new tab or window in order to see a bigger version of the picture and, thus, the words (or you can zoom in).

Can you find all the pop culture references? *grins*

Pearl of Great Price

This started out as a doodle on a large piece of paper. This ended up being my favourite section of it, so I darkened the lines and then, with fear and trembling, coloured it. I honestly haven't fully coloured a drawing for years, because I don't like messing things up that are already looking good. But, today, I decided to be brave. :)

Also, the colours are really light in the original version, so I played around with levels a bit once I got this onto my computer in order to make the colours clearer. I think it turned out pretty well, if a bit faded. (Note to self: Next time, do not adjust the slider to the far right. Also, find out what its proper name is because the urge to just say "thingy" is overwhelming)

One thing I would do to fix this if I had the time is erase that random line near the bottom left corner and also add in my signature in the bottom right hand corner.

I was going to ink all the lines on there, too, but that didn't work out because my pen decided to be really crappy and had lots of air bubbles. This resulted in some fun outtakes, though, which I'll post tomorrow (with no colour alterations whatsoever). I would have posted it today, but the image was too big, it's late, and I'm too tired to shrink it properly.

Doodle Thursday: Spaceship and Gimpy Vase

This is the spaceship I doodled during my evening class. The lines on either side of the tail represent waves of energy displaced as the ship swims through space like a fish.

I also doodled a vase during my afternoon class, which ended up being a gimpy version of a word as the sound of it appears in my head. Not sure which word, though. All I know is I got it wrong, so now it's sad and deformed, but still interesting-looking.

Actually, now that I think about it, that could be an organ of some kind. It's definitely organish when flipped:

I think it looks like a heart. What do you think?
