My freedom doodles are similar-- often half naked ppl, usually women or androgynous of some sort doing silly things.
Also hairstyles, I love drawing hair! For the animal kingdom I have a thing for drawing reptiles for some reason. I like their sharp teeth and creepy faces, haha.
I love your seltzer paintings, I didn't see it before! They're wonderful. What kind of paint did you use?
I literally had a dream last night I took a painting class (taught by Larry David?) and I was like, "I'm glad I'm FINALLY taking a painting class!" then I woke up annoyed that it wasn't real.
I use watercolor mixed with a lil bit of gouache which is... I don’t know if that’s weird of me or what? The only painting classes I took were as a kid so I have just been making it up since then. You don’t need to take a class!! Tho a class with Larry David would be great
You know what, Larry David was a great art teacher.
Gouache, yes! I have painted a decent amount w/ watercolor actually. I even own some gouache (wow, I'm a liar for saying I don't paint). I guess I meant w/ thicker mediums like acrylic or oil or something.
I don't know what I'm talking about, but you inspired me to return to the gouache I've only used like 2x! That opacity, baby. So yum.
I doodle Batman. Not to look like the "real" Batman. But in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Often the doodled Batman just looks like me in a Batman suit. However he looks, he's a lousy sort of morose and monosyllabic conversation partner. But has very expressive eye. "WWBD"--what would Batman do--is something I ask myself with more frequency than I should probably admit. Doodling him always makes me laugh, though. And process stuff.
Also dogs! Because I have them. How come almost no one ever draws fun expressive German Shepherds? All the cute comics dogs have floppy ears.
Photos? None exist of me in my Batman 66 costume... I also had the 66 stuffed doll... which I still have... though it was chewed up by a German Shepherd.
Just because you put the idea in my head, this morning I’m going to draw a giraffe replacing a high lightbulb. They can be very handy around the house in fact.
When I can’t think of something specific or figurative to draw, I tend to go abstract and organic: spirals and leaves are my go-to doodle subject. They sometimes morph into whimsical creatures, or complex organic machinery.
Love these -- my go to are self portraits, all kinds, all poses, crazy curly hair, yoga, you name it. Narcissistic? Maybe.....
if we can't be narcissistic in our sketchbook where can we be!!!

I wore a batwoman outfit from ages 5-7. Not a catwoman... a batwoman
Photos? None exist of me in my Batman 66 costume... I also had the 66 stuffed doll... which I still have... though it was chewed up by a German Shepherd.
I’m... looking... there’s photos somewhere
We need more German shepherd content clearly
Love this! It's monsters and giant turtles for me. No idea why but it's so soothing ✨
You don’t have to know why!
Giraffes do it for me. With those long necks they’re always up to something interesting or awkward, which are of course the same thing.
I love that, there’s a lot to do with those necks. There was a famous giraffe near my college, UCSB, who had a crooked neck.

A giraffe landlord !!!
Bucket, long-handled mop. Giraffes would also be good whistlers, with those kissable lips.

Whimsical!!
