Doodling Plus Digital

Sometimes I get in the mood to doodle
 and experiment with the doodle.
Now, I could print out multiple copies
and color them by hand.
That is fun, sometimes.
Then, there's this other thing I do.

After photographing my doodle
and cleaning it up, using Gimp...

I start playing with the colors.

If I save in the right places,
trying different options is easy and quite fun.


A little pink


and a little black

and a little gray make something fun.

Orange and white or

orange and black?


How about some purple?

Add some black...

some more black...

maybe more...


Well,
  something in the yellow family might work.

OK, start with red

and black

(all black?)


I'll back up to one of those earlier ones
because if I tried to use a white bucket fill
my lines might turn white, too.

Let's go yellow for bold contrast.

As long as we have two primary colors,
why not try the third?

Hmmm... I kind of like this,
but let's see what it looks like with


more of a gold. :)

I see the colors don't always come
through the way I thought I made them.

Oh, well.  I've had fun and I can think
 of more color combinations to try.

  1. These are so "Ikea" - just like something they'd have a big canvas for their catalog! Who's your agent? : )
