that doodling gal the doodling gal s dog summer shoes and the walking is easy posted on 09 08 2023 by doodlinggal i ve always wanted to do this about a year ago i bought some acrylic markers and forgot about them this past spring i was out shopping and saw the running shoes for summer all of a sudden i remembered the markers and purchased 3 pairs of shoes then i d test on one to see how it would work i wasn t sure how the makers would work on canvas this is the test pair there was a bit of bleeding if you look closely but on the whole they weren t bad to work with it would be nice if the markers had a finer point for detail so not to be deterred i went out and got a synthetic round brush that has a pointed end stay tuned for the second pair share this share on x opens in new

permalink bluebird posted on 09 02 2023 by doodlinggal when i was little i was always captivated like most kids by children s book illustrations some were well done others not as good but if they were done with a lot of imagination and told the story well it didn t matter we my sister and brothers often reminisce about the books we had and if we can remember them after all these years they must have been good one book in particular has stayed with me to this day it s long gone but i recently found the images on the internet and was amazed at how much the artist has influenced my work the swirling lines detail and colour are what impressed me the most in his illustrations i think that book was on my mind when i did this painting in this piece i used pigma micron pens to outline the subject and then coloured in with derwent inktense water colour pencils share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook like loading leave a comment posted

flower girl posted on 08 15 2023 by doodlinggal i thought i d try and combine a face with flowers people are rarely what i draw or paint rather than use an actual photo to work from i created a girl s face from imagination drawing flowers and foliage isn t that difficult as i m not striving for realism in my illustrations but faces are a little more difficult for me anyway and take more time to come up with something like most of my illustrative pieces i use derwent inktense watercolour pencils i find them to be the most vibrant of any other water colour pencil and they re permanent once they dry the best paper to do these paintings on varies smooth bristol and hot press watercolour paper seem to show the colours the best share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook

on 07 23 2023 by doodlinggal i haven t done any regular doodlinggal type posts since 2018 the last one was about yuki the little dog that had been rescued from a puppy mill she was with me for 7 months but never got used to going outside the condominium she was fine inside but going out was too overwhelming we had to re home her with a couple one who was home all day in a house with a backyard it was the best thing for her i did get another dog half a year later and we ve been together for 4 years now she had been abandoned in the train yards and the humane society rescued her whether or not i start posting illustrations of her remains to be seen i don t want to jinx what we have in the meantime i ve been doing flower illustrations or in this case mushroom illustrations

humor humour illustration micron pigma pen mushrooms bookmark the permalink who s that posted on 12 24 2018 by doodlinggal a puppy mill survivor s first christmas i have a new dog my last dog ronan main character of this blog died last january i ll leave it at that for now as it still hurts anyone who has or has had a pet understands i wasn t going to get another dog but someone said that i may not want to go through that heartbreak anymore but there are dogs and other animals desperately needing homes love respect and kindness to provide a better life for an animal in need is worth the eventual heartbreak so i went online and found a rescue organization i saw that a small dog named yuki was going to be at one of the meet and view sessions the rescue hosts occasionally at local pet stores it was in my area so i submitted my application and went to see her everything worked out and she moved in within a couple of weeks yuki was in a puppy mill as a breeding female for 5 years the only reason she was released was because she had a hernia and wasn t any use to the mill anymore she is the shyest dog i ve ever met she s afraid of almost everything although she has settled well in our apartment going out even in the hallway is stressful for the first couple of weeks she had bad separation anxiety racing back and forth barking and howling peeing and pooping it was a nightmare i have a voice recorder that let me know about the barking and yet none of my neighbours complained i have great neighbours i should mention that when i first got her i took time off work and would go in and out to show i always returned luckily i work from home for most of the day and am only away at the office for a couple of hours but i worried that she would hurt herself with all the running back and forth frantically and asked her vet for suggestions he prescribed a mild anti depressant she had no side effects and within a couple of weeks showed improvement we were able to reduce the dosage and she still seems okay it didn t do much for her fear of the outside though most of the people in my building know her story a lot of them know about puppy mills and the ones that don t are shocked when i explain and i don t hold back the more people who know about the cruelty and abuse that goes on in a puppy mill the better the chances of closing them down i can t say it s been easy i m ashamed to say that if i knew what i was getting into i don t think i would have gone through with it but i m glad i did she sleeps with me and wakes me up with kisses she snuggles up to me on the couch before settling down for a nap when i come home she can barely keep still she s so happy to see me we have a little cuddling session to make up for my absence and i think that she s starting to find some joy in her life i hope so now i ll get down off my soap box and wish everyone and their pets a merry christmas share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new

arrivederci posted on 06 07 2018 by doodlinggal the superintendent in our condominium has moved on to a new job she was a hard worker never complained and was nice to everybody she also had a lovely little dachshund we re all sorry to see them go so there was a farewell party for her and everyone in the building was invited to come and say goodbye always one for an excuse to do a card i had to think of an illustration that would befit the occasion knowing a trip to italy was in her future and with her dog in mind i knew exactly what to do share this share on x opens in new window x share on
