In mid August I finished up my second sketchbook[1], and I needed to start another. I ended up taking an unintentional break from drawing when I got hung up trying to figure out a different approach to my drawing practice. I didn't want to start with a fresh sketchbook until I figured it out. I finally got over it the other day. My first drawing was depicting what I imagine Pac-Man looks like once you get enough resolution.

I'm working on a doodle, and there's an aspect of it I decided to troubleshoot off the page (instead of my usual practice of just doodling harder). So I went looking for some paper, but I didn't want loose leaf. After a brief search, I found a pile of my old sketchbooks. I'm pretty sure this is the last drawing I made prior to taking an unplanned five year art break. Huh...

I spent the past several doodling sessions on a drawing that has many problems, but I ended up liking it anyway. Plenty of room for improvement, so I'll just keep twirling, twirling, twirling towards mastery.
The seated figure was just me "discovering" the character as I went, so it looks rougher and doodlier. The flying friend was an idea I decided to work out off the page before drawing it. So it looks a little more refined, as I drew it more than once.

I came across a couple of more sketchbooks. In one, I found a practice run for a Chinese New Year's card I made for a friend in 2008. I've made a few different cards over the years. Some hand made for an individual, others printed for holidays. (I've always wanted to do a lino print run.)
2007 was the year of the pig, and 2008 was the year of the rat. With that info, I think you get the idea. My friend seemed to like the card, which was all that mattered.

@cstanhope somehow I've missed every single one of the posts in this whole doodlin' thread until now, but I'm glad I caught this one as it swam past and followed it back up the timestream. Anyway nice doodles, these are good

@ifixcoinops @cstanhope I don't know what the fuck happened, I follow you, but I've never seen most of these either!? They're so good!

@erosdiscordia Thank you! Well, they're easy to miss I think. I keep them behind the CW, and I rarely boost them. But I'm glad you like them. :)

@cstanhope I typically always peek at friends' art, even behind CWs. 😊
