Mr. Steed & Mrs. Peel

mr. steed & mrs. peel -- the avengers -- by vishal k bharadwaj

It’s The Avengers! No, not that one, the other one. I took the extra hour to colour this up in the GIMP, adding some text and messing around with the colours. It’s got a few rough edges, but overall I’m happy with the look.

Dream Stamp

 

In this materialistic world our dreams are only stamped around objects of luxury which we term as necessity…

Blossom Flower

 

 

A good old simple flower drawing.

plastic fantastic colour by vishal k bharadwaj

I’m not sure where the topic Plastic Fantastic popped into my head from, or, for that matter, where this idea for said topic came from, but here it is, all coloured up in inkscape.

Hmm, I think this may be the first time in months that I’ve posted something on the day of the topic. Sometimes I try to do that. Sometimes.

The Crystal Caverns of Illuridar

Our adventure continues! We find our intrepid adventurers in dark and foreboding caverns, where many an Optical Illusion can play cruel tricks on a person’s mind.

Geisha through the glass

Another one of the older topics. I was pretty kicked about doing some intricate pen work. The lines have gone wobbly. But I am pretty happy with the result.

Self Portrait

This one was done close to two weeks back. Facebook has an uncanny way of being the spoilt child and stealing my updates:/

Here we go:

Set Phasers to Incinerate

Getting back to work on some old topics, this is for Redshirt. A quick, fairly rough colour, but I think this one needed it.

First 50 Doodles – Samir

Mosaic of drawings for the first 50 topics on Today's Doodle

While it never feels like enough, this site has served its purpose well since we began it, and that was in getting me to draw a lot. I’ve not gotten back into the habit in recent months, but it’s good to remind myself that I did complete a large chunk of sketches here, more than I’ve done in years.

Here is a mosaic of thumbnails for all my sketches for the first 50 topics of Today’s Doodle. I hope this is the first of many half-century collections. You can never draw too much.

My First 50 Topics — Vishal

vishal k bharadwaj first 50 topics

I finally finished drawings for the first 50 topics on Today’s Doodle! These weren’t drawn in order, with me skipping here and there and everywhere. I’m happy with a great many of them, disappointed with several, and indifferent to some. Overall, however, in the six months since we started the site, I have managed to do more drawings than I ever have in a similar period of my life before. I’ve improved my skills immensely, though I have miles to go before I can realise my ideas to match my imagined version. But here they are, all together, proving, if nothing else, that a little perseverance and some strange topics can result in a lot of fun drawings.
