Jenn (kenderhearted) | 7 comments Hey there! I'm pretty new to the site and the group, but I've been on a doodle kick lately and thought I would share a couple things I've been working on. I haven't taken any serious art classes but I am considering it in order to work on my technique. I use pens, sharpies, markers, colored pencils, and photoshop. Sometimes I scrapbook and make hemp jewelry as well.

I'm wondering if my style has a name. I know it's a little psychedelic but other than that, I'd love to know if there's an actual name for it, so I could look up other artists and see what they do with theirs.

Anyway, this is my first time using flickr so hopefully I'm doing this right. Here is the outline of my latest doodle:

And a few color alterations:

I have a ton of old digital art I did back in the day when blends were popular, and icons etc, but I'm not sure what I'll post here. This is really my first step in getting back into being creative and sharing my stuff online (except for my facebook, haha).

Brooke You have a great style. I think it's wonderful that you've developed it without any art education. Have you tried working on larger paper? It would be crazy to see a larger area covered with your work.

Also, I'm drawn to the original doodle and the work on the lined paper more than the digital versions.

I got burnt out after getting my BA in Fine Art. These make me want to start drawing again.

I have never managed to make one very big because I get bored with them after a while, since they're very time consuming if they're detailed and colored by hand. I would love to try again though, maybe over the summer. Also I'd love to take a drawing class but I don't have time left in my undergrad to take any art courses. I'd love to try to paint in this style too.

Thank you everyone for the comments! It's been a long time since I thought of myself as an artist and the feedback is wonderful!
