It's more pattern driven but it'll help open your creative mind.Today’s interactive Doodle celebrates one of the world’s most popular dishes-pizza! On this day in 2017, the culinary art of Neapolitan “Pizzaiuolo” was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Keep all your work so you can see your progression.Ĭheck out the art style, zentangle. If you feel stuck, take a break and walk away and then come back again. Don’t try to draw, just draw (hope that makes sense!) Whatever you draw is NOT wrong. Get some headsets, listen to the youtube playlist I showed, get pen/pencil and paper (or digital) and don't think, just draw lines and things will form. Look at the shapes around you and manipulate them. Instead of playing on your phone, take a pen/pencil and a drawing pad with you wherever you go and just doodle in your free time. I got lucky and found a good colorist that did a devastating job.

Here is one of the playlists - Īnother factor is the color. I had to have my mind go 'somewhere else', so I listened to avaunt-guarde, abstract, and experimental music from the 70's. So I listened to my music, but it wasn't motivating me. I usually listen to underground house and hip hop because I like the beats and the grooves. I made a stem that looked like a tongue and then added those funky tentacle things.Ī big factor was the music/sounds I listened to. Those bothered me, so I felt I had to do more. The only piece I got that I feel copied psychedelic-ness was when I did the hood and I drew the mushrooms. I looked at some psychedelic art for motivation and then stopped because I didn't want to copy, but to create my own. The only 'rule' I had was that I didn't want any repeating patterns. I would draw a shape and then draw things that go through the shape and then go back and erase. I would just draw and if something bugged me, I would go and re-draw. If something was out of perspective, I didn't care.

I drew digitally, so I was really able to experiment. I really pushed myself to create different designs on every piece. I started off not wanting to do any repeating patterns and no mirror images.

Trippy doodles
