Illustration Friday: Your Paradise

I was inspired to draw something for this week’s Illustration Friday theme: Your Paradise. I sketched myself as I was doodling on the back of a used billing envelope. Then I scanned the envelope, opened it in Photoshop and changed its color to duotone red.
Whenever I doodle, I enter my paradise~a place to play and let ideas, thoughts and feelings flow. I find doodling relaxing~swimming in shapes, lines, impressions. It feels so natural. I’m doodling nothing in particular. I’m seeing parts of everything.
I especially like how doodles sprout and grow wherever you plant your pen. A little bit of paradise on scraps of paper.

I can relate to what you’ve said about drawing being a form of personal paradise! Draw On!

Great doodle! I love how the red forces the eye to really examine your illustration.
