It's Doodling Time

by Mbak Lestari - February 13, 2016

Since (flower) doodling is booming last year, I’m so tempted and curious about it... I usually see many people (or people I followed) post their doodling. Most of them used watercolor and gouache (a.k.a cat poster).

Then, after so many trials and errors, and used a sort of tool. I reveal that I prefer to used markers than watercolor or gouache, the main reason is markers had a bold effect and are clean, I mean no need to prepare a brush, palette, water, etc such as watercolor gouache.

For every doodle, I started by using mechanic pencil for rough sketches, in light tension. Then, I used a marker to make the line more clear. After that, I used another marker to fill the empty space of the doodle. The shape and colors depend on my imagination, sometimes I used markers directly without pencil sketches.

But, for watercolor, it could be more difficult because I need more time for drying the paper, also, it needs more than once for coloring. And the most important thing before doodling is to make some item's details such as flower shapes and colors. It would help during doodling.

Here is mine...
