what the hell is this about?

Several friends have embarked on their own P365 journey but as I have no camera nor an eye for photography I've decided to try to complete "a doodle a day" for an entire year. Most will be in my little Derwent A5 sketch book but some could end up being from the corner of some document or scribbled on a newspaper. As the year progresses I will try my hand at inking them as well?

If some of them don't make sense, don't worry, they're probably not meant to. You may notice there will be certain themes along the way and if you know me you'll know why.

I hope you enjoy.

Okay, here goes, every day til I'm 39.

Day #83 - for Mika



I asked Mika what her favourite animal is, I said to her "you tell me and I'll draw it for you tonight", I was expecting it to be a dog or a giraffe or maybe a tiger...

What was her answer? A cow! (thank god I didn't say I'd buy her one)

So I said to her "cool, I'll draw you a cow tonight"

of course she added "and a duck"

so here is my cow and duck suitable for a 2 and half year old girl.

I started by scribbling out an idea on my tablet using this program called GIMP, it's a free open source drawing program that is so powerful it's ridiculous, I like it so much that I'll probably use it now instead of Photoshop.

  1. The GIMP is soooo cool, have you come across Bender (the OS 3D package)? - also way cool

  2. do you mean Blender? I have had it but not played with it, the GIMP is fantastic, I just spend too much time playing with it, it's like painting, I'm no good at painting but I keep trying.
