failed challenge

i was looking around for some inspiration and i saw over at Mr.T's that there are two themes that i could and would approach "curls" and "birds of a feather".for the first step having curls in my mind i made quickly the outer lines with  success if i do not report a single straight line out of control.. then i just let my pencil take charge.it even appeared one bird of a feather still there are to many things that are not related to the feathery theme,mushrooms,fish,boots...so i can't link my doodle the bird theme nor to the curls because of those spikes that had to be there while i was doodling,lol......double failure.still i remained with a light(?) doodle that i like.just another weed of my mind :)
 i made a little boost in picassa using the orton-ish function and added a white contour.

                                              ps.i can't find those 8 inches of this fruitful summer ;)
 don't miss to check out others great addition of the curled and birded theme over at Mr.T's blog.

doodle postcard III

because i always love seeing the creation process especially in art works but as well regarding garden and home projects i thought i'll add a few pictures to show you the way i play with lines and formes.
this is  my ordinary way of doodling only that i borrowed the string from the zentangle.so the base is the string and the rest is added step by step as the doodle develops.in my first colored doodles the core is commonly a face or a form that is growing chaotic by adding other forms or patterns.

                                    the result entitled "the bubble escapes"(i just missed to draw the eye of the whale)

and the process:

material used:300gsm fabriano watercolor paper,watercolor pencil,marker.
happy doodling...................................................................................ildi
