Doodle x 30 x 120 - Day 1

I’ve challenged myself to “doodle” for at least 30 minutes each day for 120 days. These doodles are in addition to any formal, finished pieces I may be working on, though some of them may eventually turn into real pieces.

I’m doing this for 3 reasons:

  1. I need practice
  2. I need help breaking through creative roadblocks
  3. I need material for a project I want to start working on in the fall

I’ll be posting each day’s doodle here. And, when I can, I’ll be recording and posting the video as well. At this point I’m still experimenting with my setup and learning that the focus on this camera is a total bitch.

Here’s a time-lapse of today’s doodle (Music: Arsenic by The Loved Ones)

And here’s the finished drawing

Working out a time lapse setup in my studio. Definitely need some better lighting. The focus issue is my own fault. The monster is a sketch/doodle for an upcoming project. I’ll be posting videos on Vimeo. Follow me there if you’re into it. http://vimeo.com/41167212

  5. Repeat…

Been hating everything I draw lately. This is the first thing I’ve done that has made me feel good. (envelope #doodle) (Taken with instagram)
