Last doodles of the month

And here are the last two doodles in this series begun a month ago.

Remember, remember, the doodles of November

And so, November is ended, and I have posted the last two doodles of the month. This has been an interesting experiment for me. It's been a long time - about 35 years, I'd say - since I've been anywhere near this prolific, and while I've enjoyed it, there's no way I can sustain this pace. not that I ever planned on doing so, but.... I've given up a lot of my reading time to do these, and I think I want a different balance.

But I have gained some very positive things from this experiment. First, I've discovered that pretty much no matter what I draw, at least someone will think it's interesting enough to comment on. That's a big one for me. Also, I've discovered that if I just relax and let my pencils play, something will happen - there's always some spark of creative vision, or whatever, that I can tap into if I let myself be in the mood to let it come out to play. That's another big one. And finally, I've found that not only do I enjoy making little pieces of art, I also enjoy showing them to people.

While I can't continue drawing every day, I do want to use this experiment as an impetus to do more artwork than I had been doing in the past. Maybe a couple of pieces a month - and possibly including pieces that are more complex and involve more than a couple of hours of work.

Which leads us to a poll.

Anyway, thanks for looking, and commenting when the urge to say something struck you. I hope you've enjoyed my month of doodling.
