Doodle in Progress

Hello everyone!
 
Recently I've noticed a lot of people doing these really cool doodles in really detailed circles! I think they are amazing and I've see so many on Instagram that it inspired me to try for myself.

 
I haven't got the specialist tools and skills but I have got a thin and thick pen and the love of doodling so I thought... why not!?!
 
This is just a quick little post (mainly photos) I hope you enjoy and possibly be inspired to grab a pen and doodle! It doesn't have to be perfect (mine sure isn't) but as long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters.
 

I used a fine 0,4 pen for the smaller, detailed parts.



I've seen a lot of people use special tools, like a compass, to make a perfect circle (which looks amazing!) but I wanted to practise my precision, so I tried out free hand circles. I know it's not perfect but if I keep practising then hopefully I'll get better!
 

 
 

I also used a thicker felt tip pen for any parts with block colour.



I also tried to be fancy with my camera angles! Haha!


 


I tried to overlap circles to make the doodle look more 3D.




This is a section of it.

I'm hoping to fill the whole A3 page with this doodle! Once I've filled the page I was going to scan it and try out washing different colours over it.

I hope you enjoyed this post, when I've finished the whole page I'll do another post to show the finished product!

I also hope that this has inspired you to get creative, pick up a pen and doodle! I doodle all the time in the margins of my books but this was my first time drawing the circle doodles.
 
If you have a go then please feel free to send them to me on Google + https://plus.google.com/u/0/+KatherinePittsBlankKanvas/posts or my Instagram https://instagram.com/_.kxtherine._/ 
I would absolutely love to see your versions!

Feel free to check out the rest of the blog, get inspired and share your creative thoughts!

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a great day and enjoy getting creative!
