Owl Doodle - Drawing Fun Using Simple Shapes

Doodling is such a easy and relaxing way to get creative.  It helps us move out of our heads, just for a little while, and find a calm space to express ourselves.

In this class I will be sharing my process with you of one of my owl doodles using my framework method.

I will walk you through how I create the doodle, step by step,  in real time.  I will share my thoughts along the way so that you too may experience the mindfulness and slower pace that this kind of doodling can encourage.  Drawing allows us to come into the present moment, and enter a space where your imagination can play.  Many of us have forgotten how fun, drawing basic shapes can be.

I provide the framework as a download for you in the resource section.  As well as some section guides to help inspire you along the way.  I will share my tips as we draw, and provide some insight into the tools I like to use.

This class is worked with pencil and pen on a regular piece of copy paper, but for all my iPad doodlers, I have included a lesson and resources so that you may try doodling digitally as well in Procreate.

Some of the topics covered in this class:

• How I setup my frameworks for drawing and reusing.
• What pencils, pens and erasers I like to use
• Filling in the sections, one at a time.
• How to work your doodle, layer by layer.
• 5 Simple Tricks for adding Detail Work
• How I approach inking with pens
• iPad Set Up for Doodling in Procreate
• Inspiration for creating your own Owl Doodles

I have included a Doodle Worksheet PDF in the Project and Resource section.  It includes the following:

1. The Owl Framework as a PDF in letter size
2. The Owl Framework as a JPG for the iPad
3. Each Section of the Owl individually, to help you follow along with each lesson.

I share my process in this class to help you see how I approach my doodles and to inspire you to “go with your flow” when doodling. 

I hope this class helps you discover a new love for the simple art of doodling.   No matter when you choose to draw, whether it is first thing in the morning with the sunrise, as a mid day break, or late in the evening as you unwind from the day, I hope you create space for yourself and your owl friends to enjoy each other’s company.

Many of my classes delve further into the techniques that I have used in this class.
