In between all that, I have had chance to fit in some artwork though. This heart doodle is now finished and I'm relieved because it's been on my drawing board for far too long!
It's the most intricate I've done yet and I've enjoyed filling in all the little patterns and details.
Some little bits are quite realistic, others are completely from my imagination. I drew the heart outline first and build up the rest of the doodle around it.
Some doodle artists are able to go straight in with pen, but I find I need to sketch everything out in pencil first and get the order of objects clear.
I'm thinking of adding this doodle to my (currently empty) Etsy shop as a downloadable colouring page. If I were to charge about £1.50 to be able to download the doodle for printing and colouring, would anybody be interested? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments, both good and bad!
That's all for now! See you next week :)
I'm sharing this post on the following blogs: Handmade Harbour and Manon Popje's Illustrations.
What a fun and whimsical art piece you have created. It's fun to find all the designs you made. I think it's a great idea to offer it as a pdf.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you like them :)
DeleteYou are very talented. I love the monochrome look of the doodle, and the little dog in the corner watching everything caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteI think people would love the piece to colour in, but maybe you should charge a little more to reflect all your hard work?
Have a lovely crafty week,
Alison
Thanks Alison. I didn't originally intend to sell this one at all, so it's just nice that people are interested in buying it!
DeleteThat is just amazing! What a talent. Looking forward to seeing a version of that with colour one day.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletewhat a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteThank you!

I've put copies up for sale and some people have bought them already! I'm so excited!
DeleteThere is so much to look at in this piece! My favourite is the little bird on the bottom left :) I think it would be perfect to download, with the heart in the centre it can be personalised for all sorts of uses. £1.50 sounds about right to me :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mum! I hadn't thought about the personalisation aspect.
DeleteYes, yes go for it girl! Some of my friends love colouring those kind of pieces in. Happy Paper Saturdays to you and it is so lovely to be able to catch up with you finally. Manonxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Manon! I've put it on Etsy and some people have bought copies already! Very exciting!
DeleteIt's a great piece I'm sure it would sell.
ReplyDeleteI used to love 'DoodleArt' colouring in when I was little so I think it would be a good thing to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know, thanks Andrea! A few people have told me now that they enjoy colouring - I can understand completely, it's very relaxing :)
DeleteLOVE IT! -- THIS is beyond "doodle"! And, considering "fees" and whatnot, you really *should* charge MORE!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I hadn't really considered fees, may have to put the price up a little on the next one!
DeleteI'm always mesmerized by your whimsical and VERY intricate designs. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you Arnoldo!
